ByteDance claims TikTok isn’t controlled by China but also says they can’t sell bc China won’t let them. All while the CCP bans the app in China. Why does the CCP consider an App they won’t let their own citizens use more valuable than tens of billions going 2 a Chinese company?

TikTok essentially argued today that a qualified divestment is impossible because the source code and engineering remain in China. That pretty much proves the point: as long as TikTok and ByteDance are beholden to the CCP, the national security threat is too big to ignore.
