    I’m posting the same comment in two replies here now, terrible behaviour, but yes exactly this was an attempt to force a sale and get tiktok into American ownership.

    It feels very neat that America would think tiktok would ultimately choose the option where it gets more money, but that the Chinese instead choose control.

      that being the case, doesn’t that provide more merit to tiktok being a data mining operation that China uses against American interests?
