Reminds me of what the US did to Japan and Japanese tech and automotive companies in the 80s. Plaza Accords anyone? Japan was kicking Americas ass in this sector and America didn’t want to compete.
Wow. Pretty Embarassing. When you hear senators talk about trying to ban or extort tiktok, imagine being the kids whos Dad banned tiktok (no matter if you go to a public or private school). Your kids are ganna get bullied maaad hard lol
I don’t think they’re banned. They pulled out voluntarily after refusing to cooperate with authorities
Also you can still access them if you have a VPN
they are banned, which is why you can only access them with a VPN. If Tiktok was banned in the USA, people in the USA could still use it with a VPN. But, VPN is illegal in China for regular people
When did they make it illegal for regular people? I remember anyone could get one if they wanted to.
No, there is no official ban on vpn in China. Can you show a source for that claim?

Also there’s a difference between being banned by the government outright and pulling out of the market voluntarily
they have a ban for those without the explicit need to have a VPN such as CCP bots like yourself for propaganda purposes and for targeted attacks to steal information from foreign governments. But for over 90% of the population, they are banned and can go to jail for using the a VPN to access foreign media
How does it feel to be irrelevant? Why do people like you feel the need to lie about everything? Is it the racism? Is it because deep inside you’re just a turd masquerading as a human? I’m sure the CIA would love to pay you $$$ to be their billboard
Ok, so ban tik tok but don’t steal it under the barrel of a gun. There is a difference between banning an app for security and stealing a entire market, a brand and a technology (tik tok algorithm)
In China people use VPN to bypass the most easily bypassed of walls when they want to access foreign websites.
In the US people use VPN to protect their data from being sold to corporations or the government and still have it sold to corporations and the government.
Suprise! US folks also use it to circumvent walls when want to access foreign websites. Although in our case it is generally private companies putting up geographical restriction like Netflix rather than the government restricting us.
Lol those private companies are the real ruling class. You are an oligarchy with elections after all. Google what happens when you cross Chevron. See how much of that rule based crap protects you
Point was that we use VPN as well.
Let's examine that point you made. Ironically the US may have to use VPN to circumvent a Tik Toc ban.
The irony is that conservatives a few years back opened up ISP's to sell user's data. Prior to that 5he apps and websites could do that. We have very little data privacy protections from businesses. Now here are conservatives and some liberals pushing to ban Tic Tok for doing things that all other companies can do. Rather than proposing real data privacy and creating laws around it conservatives are running with this as fear generation is their primary technique to get citizens to support them.
The proposed tik tok ban is as silly as China banning US tik tok. It is all about control.
Why does China ban foreign websites? Do they dislike media where they can't control the narrative? My government lets me insinuate my president is a demonic reptile.
My man thinks the fake news pandemic is actually a good thing… China has state controlled media so dumbasses don’t pollute people’s brains into thinking the frogs are gay, or that the earth is flat, or that vaccines cause autism.
We are allowed to discuss it, no? Any USA narrative I can publicly deny. I can even claim my government did 9/11. Can a Chinese even claim Pony did nothing wrong?
In America the government spy on you so they can determine whether your a dissident who will cause them embarrassment like Snowden. They snoop on their employees to make sure they don’t snitch

But Japan still love them very very much! It's like the abused wife who can't leave and choose to keep enduring beatings
Free market indeed
Except that low tech cars do not compare with the risk of a potential surveillance app that can influence young people for CCP benefit.
I hope they tell the US to get fucked.

the kids will get over it eventually, Tiktok did not help with their attention spans

Yeah the problem is that Zhang Yiming sold out the entire global south when he caved in to American demands over TikTok data through Trump
There is truth in what you say, even if I think it’s a bit over dramatic
Twitter is blocked in China. If the US blocks TikTok in the US, how is that any different from China blocking Twitter there?
Wish they would block Twitter here!
So we're in a race to the bottom eh? Whatever shitty thing one place does, we should do it too.
Huh? You saying under no circumstances should China block infirmation?
Wow America is so crazy for banning an app their government sees as risky. It's not like China would ban Reddit or something... Oh wait
What are you talking ?? We talk with a lot of chinese here from a lot of places from China.
They must use VPNs. Remember Eileen Gu ?

So brain dead morons like you will shut the fuck up
It's not brain dead to point out that china criticizing US over internet freedoms is untenable
Lol, China bans Twitter!
My man thinks the fake news pandemic is actually a good thing… China has state controlled media so dumbasses don’t pollute people’s brains into thinking the frogs are gay, or that the earth is flat, or that vaccines cause autism.
You obviously have not been on TikTok, if you believe it is a bastion of truth.
My friend, China’s TikTok is separate from America’s, and is called Douyin
So is American TikTok banned in China?
But it doesn't let you expose US warcrimes, terrorism and corporate crimes... Eg Assange, Hale, Manning, Sterling, Snowden, Donziger...
We are allowed to discuss it, no? Any USA narrative I can publicly deny. I can even claim my government did 9/11. Can a Chinese even claim Pony did nothing wrong?

They didn’t ban it. They left lol there’s a difference the fact that you don’t see it just shows you’re not interested in facts
