But there's no way to post it here. The companies refused to cooperate unlike Telegram did for something that happened in Hongkong in 2019.
And no, those were NOT "peaceful" events like what they made you believe.
Starts with the letter "T".

Their approach is, you can lie as much as you want as long as you don't get caught...they got caught ! If we owed these companies money and we lied to them, then got caught, what do you think they would do to us? !! If they broke the law, they broke the law and need to held accountable for their actions.

Dude the proceeds to draw for "ANTI WESTERN" card dude couldn't wait to use it
Same guy then makes argument of Japan or china doing similar.. by his own leap of logic I wonder if he is ANTI-EASTERN?
But I'm not like you I am able to take the argument or points without that type of escalation
Every country uses tariffs to protect local businesses but for you to conclude Japan moved manufacturing did it for their best interests is impressive reasoning under the geopolitical weather of the 80s but I'm not going to bother getting into that
America has been a dominant power for over 140 years which gives my point some credibility in regards to America being "sore losers" your comparison fails with Japan and China of the past as they were NEVER a world power of that degree or could they ever manipulate directly or indirectly to maintain such a position

The ban order was during Biden administration (Democrat Party) and the idiot who ask Trump to fine Apple, Google and Oracle is 3 Stooges from (guess what?) the same Democrat party itself! This "Woke" party not only trying to blame others for their actions but also trying to destroy their own country. Elon and Tesla are currently under attack from this "Woke" party.
Apple and Google are just following the law requirement because they don't want to get their ass dragged into the idiotic mess.

Your anti-western bias is showing. Protecting domestic industry is not crying or being a sore loser, and further, the Japanese auto-makers were not 'forced' to build factories. The opposite it true. A temporary import quota by the US was a response:
"Japan had insulated its automakers from foreign competition. On top of the aggressive government support it provided to its own producers, high tariffs kept imports uncompetitive, while onerous standards made it virtually impossible for foreign firms to build operations in Japan."

That's a very different issue and needs to be researched properly. Automod will block if you try to tell the actual reason lol.

America just act like sore losers..
When Japan was ahead in combustion engine technology
America cried and forced them to make plants in the US
Now they are doing the same with tik tok trying to buy it
This is without me factoring beliefs in how good or bad tik tok is
Once America can't lead or be #1 they complain and use political tactics instead that of actually competing

The United States is always spying on the world, accusing others of espionage. It's so ironic. The problem with TikTok is that it's not one of their companies, and when it's not one of their companies, they always find a reason to sabotage it. Huawei is the great proof of this.
the free market is only valid to the extent that they are leading it...

TikTok is not a Chinese company. TikTok respects all the American legislation. The motives behind all this is to find scapegoat for the issues made by free videos regarding the "fight" in some places involving small hats.
