The U.S. intelligence community has raised concerns that TikTok, controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, poses a national security threat. The House passed a bill to force the Chinese Communist Party to sell TikTok, with the Senate yet to decide. Lawmakers like Ted Cruz have expressed worries about TikTok's ties to China, citing surveillance risks. China's stance against a forced sale of TikTok indicates limited options for potential buyers.
“The Chinese government is signaling that it won’t allow a forced sale of TikTok.” It could not be any more clear: TikTok is a tool of the Chinese Communist Party to target, surveil, and manipulate Americans. https://t.co/POOSgJxJmG
Wait. I thought China didn’t control TikTok? The Chinese government is signaling that it won’t allow a forced sale of TikTok, limiting options for the app’s owners as buyers begin lining up to bid for its U.S. operations https://t.co/ystfmPft39 via @WSJ
I've been very vocal about my concerns about TikTok. TikTok is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party and gives China the ability to monitor Americans. This is deeply concerning, and I look forward to the Senate debating the issue. https://t.co/559MuNsVBD
The House passed a bill forcing the Chinese Communist Party to sell TikTok. The Senate has to decide whether to follow. TikTok says its users love it, but there’s evidence China controls the algorithm for propaganda purposes. https://t.co/bMyt182fhj
The U.S. intelligence community has consistently warned that TikTok — while under the control of the Chinese Communist Party — poses a serious threat to our national security. That's why I voted to force TikTok to sever ties with its China-owned parent company. More on @WUSA9: https://t.co/MQObUVBgXW
