Your question is irrelevant because none of the parties you've listed have interests that are aligned with the CCP, assuming you're referring to the people as a whole. Obviously there are specific individuals whose interests are aligned with China's government but laws in a democracy aren't meant to make everyone happy, they're meant to meet the interests of the majority of people

The interest of the people is to have a peaceful coexistence and cooperation with China, while the interest of the military-industrial complex is to keep the tension high at all times so that more and more money is spent on armaments.

Who do you think the US government will favor in the end?

Who has more power to determine the result of the next elections, considering that to run a presidential campaign you need more than a billion dollars?

No citizen gains from war except the few that sell weapons and want to exploit other countries.

I wonder how do you know "the interests of the majority of people" is to ban Tiktok...

That's not what I said, I said that the interests of the majority do not align with the interests of the Chinese government. That seems self evident to me but YMMV

Don't you know, China is the new enemy of the US. That's what the elites in the US have decided and that is enough to be considered as the will of the people.
