Fired ByteDance exec accuses China of "supreme data control"
A former executive at TikTok parent ByteDance Inc. who was fired in 2018 said in a lawsuit that the Chinese Communist Party had a special office within the company that gave it “supreme access” to all data, a backdoor channel that he said persisted even after US user data was walled off from individual engineers in China.

Only a fool believes a fired "suit" out to make a buck. Specially if his revelation ties perfectly in with patriotic politics of the day.
