I have no idea how anybody can look at TikTok with a straight face and not see that they're a threat. Maybe if you've conveniently closed your eyes to the CCP's behavior in the past, say, 10-20 years regarding corporate espionage and suppressing freedom of speech and compiling profiles of everybody who dares speak out about them, as well as their behavior now in recent events (particularly how they're more than eager to punish local dissidents). Then, I guess, sure, there's absolutely nothing here to see. As with every Chinese company, the problem isn't that they're Chinese. It's that as a Chinese company, they exist only with the blessing of the CCP.
