China did ask Google to follow their law (censoring etc) and Google declined and DECIDED to pull out of China. They had an OPTION to stay in China. Trump just decided to BAN Tiktok for "security reasons"

    At first, tiktok diguises itself as an american company by hiring american manager/s and refusing any data mining from china.
    Now they release this statement..talk about skullduggery...

      So, the US should just shut them down, as India did. Come to think of it, the free-world version of TikTok is now allowed in China either.

      The West should not continue to do business with China if China cannot behave as a good partner. Large corporations are fine doing business with dictatorships, as dictators stay in power a lot longer than elected officials and can be greased with less risk. But

          Would it really matter to China!? As if American companies aren't already bowing to her and acting according to her orders!

            usa must make a new movie for 2020. The title would be usa has fallen and china is taking over. I think that would be a good movie which is on reality that is happening right now.

                        and the sale of ARM owned by Softbank (a Japanese company) to NVidia (a US company) likely spells more trouble for Huawei and China.

                          That's a pretty good example of how they abuse "national security".

                          Or if you want examples regarding the US, then how come they banned Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google etc? It was because of "national security"

                          Communist governments have killed over 100 million over their own citizens. The US is not perfect, but the Commies are evil

                                  The rest of the world should ban Chinese companies from their sensitive markets until China stops widespread espionage, forced technology transfers and blocking foreign companies from competing in China.

                                    I trust Chinese high tech firms over American high tech firms and the reason is 2-fold.

                                    1. It's proven CIA/NSA installed backdoor on Cisco networking equipment. NSA intercepts internet data routed through US servers. US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court grants NSA access to encrypted communication software (e.g., all Skype communication have been accessible to NSA since February 2011).

                                    2. China and Chinese companies have to constantly push back against allegations that they are spying so reputation is #1. One Chinese high tech caught spying would ruin all Chinese high tech's reputation. The US on the other hand use its spying freely because "who else are you going to turn to?"
