Big difference being that the CCP are using it for strategic reasons. The CIA might be keeping tabs on American citizens, but that won't lead to IP theft etc. (The CIA won't steal IP from American companies)
Well the app and service aren't banned now so they would have all the IP they wanted to steal by this point. Though history shows IP theft hasn't been via this route. And there's no IP in teenage brains.

The irony will be when China releases a negative statement about the US imposing a ban on TikTok. The great firewall of China has banned many US social networking sites ages ago.

As in the words of Deng Xiaoping: "if you open the window for fresh air, you have to expect some flies to blow in"

If you can't compete against it ban it.

Of course not. They steal from foreign companies.

The key difference is that China doesn't pretend to be a free country.

If you see the yanks on there, maybe this is a good thing, majority of them seem retarded and cant even name their own cities or other countries, the general knowledge of these people is disgraceful.
All they care about is dancing and showing skin
