https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/i5beuy/banning_chinese_companies_from_operating_on/

Not going to make this a long one but Ive spent some time in China.
Google is banned. Facebook is banned. YouTube is banned. Twitter is banned. All American media companies are banned. Most other global companies are banned. They also frown upon most international imports. Yet they want the whole world to buy from them one way or another, through price wars, through subsidies, through dumping practices. They want the world to use their services and dont want to touch the worlds services/products unless absolutely necessary.
It has to be a two way street. Predatory practices of the CCP have to be stopped or as the UK recently stated If we dont change China, China will change us all.

We live in a globalist economy. China happened to have the next big thing with TikTok. Maybe if there was an American equivalent to that, we'd be using it instead, but there isn't. I haven't seen a good explanation made why it's a huge security risk, except to punish China, but I don't think it's fair to TikTok users.

Vine is dead so it's pointless to talk about now.

Point being tiktok was literally just a clone of vine.
China didn't "happen to have the next big thing with tiktok"
There was no innovation.

TikTok doesn't pointlessly restrict you to 7 second videos tho.
