I sure hope they ban it, it will teach an entire generation of Americans that they don't actually have freedom of speech.

It would also teach those Chinese entrepreneurs and rich and powerful a lesson. Many of them are still naive and delusional. Still thinking If Chinese government would bow to the West and their problems would go away. Just look at Zoom, it got so much heat just because its founder is a Chinese even though he is an American citizen. They need to understand that it is never about Chinese government or ideology difference. It is about China and Chinese. A new superpower that isn't White and threatens their claim of exceptionalism.

Zhang Yiming isn't Ren Zhengfei. Don't expect too much from him.
Yeah, absolutely. No one will dare question Ren Zhengfei commitment and toughness. When the US government started their attacks against Hauwei, Ren Zhengfei was like, okay you bastards, you want a fight, we fight, you damn asses. Screw you. This is has been two freaking years already, and Huawei now number #1 cell phones shipments in the whole world.

Zhang Yiming, he seems a little different. Although he is rich and I am about to be evicted from my basement apartment, we can still tell that the question about him revolves around snowflakes.

The CCP should sent some representitves to those TikTok negotiation meetings, if they actually exists.

Bust a move.

:cool:

wtf is this?
Anyone can install an app onto an Android phone if they have the apk file, the program in other words.

They cannot ban TikTok. They can only restrict it from being distributed from the Google Play Store, and they can restrict other American entities from any business dealings with TikTok, and they will think up some bs law to do so.

But the actual details of restriction of the app itself, that is impossible essentially. The only way that can be done, is to tell Google to make Android not install that app. Not sure if Google can do that. Probably not.

The other thing they can do, is to declare the app illegal and anyone using TikTok to bust a move, would be in violation and could be arrested and sentenced to jail time.

So if there is a ban, this ain't over . . .

Yes, that is the real reason in a nutshell... great power competition that isn't white...

I don't know if this would happen but it would be great if it did.

TikTok should not be sold off. If the US wants to undermine Chinese tech, China should stop being on the defensive and start with banning rare earths to the US and any countries that make products that the US will use in tech. No matter what even they find another source, it's going to cost more for them.
