Thank you, this is my viewpoint exactly. We are exploited by both but one is after money, the other is a threat.

How can China threatens you? If you live outside of China?

That's like saying that Putin couldn't hurt anyone outside of Russia yet he's had multiple people killed in foreign countries.

How could TikTok helps China threatens America (or the world)?

Most of us are boring. We’re not oligarchs or investigative reporters, nor hold key posts in government or industry, nor are connected to dissenters. It’s not that he couldn’t but it’s almost impossible to see a scenario where either dictator would have an interest in most of us. I neither control anything they want nor block their way to it

Nope. But how can an average TikTok user in USA be threatened by China? Concretely/ literally?

I honestly think that Trump is a much greater threat to average American than using TikTok.

Usually they can't, but they can blackmail. Usually only if you're really really deep in anti Pooh territory though. Pooh is vindictive and thin skinned like our spray tan guy. Spray tan could for example, work with Pooh to surveil and jail dissenters. It's not that China is a threat to an individual American or other foreigner in a Western country per se, but as long as they could potentially leverage your data against you they do have a little threat. For the record Pooh and spray tan should be sent to an island together to... Oh shit nvm usually rich people and islands aren't a good thing. 😂

If you're someone influential enough to be blackmailed by the Chinese government and you're using TikTok.... You're really stupid.. but average TikTok user, really has nothing to be afraid of China, I think. TikTok is also after money, as far as I know (ads). They are a company. Like Huawei, they might have a close relationship with the Chinese government, similar with Google with the US government.
