Oops. But right! China Good!
I don't need to antagonize anything. The USA (or ANY sovereign nation) has the right to limit another government's/country's holdings within it's own borders. That's it. Tiktok is operating here in the USA... The USA can kick them out if they will not divest their Chinese stakes. There's nothing to antagonize here. I don't actually care about the argument that this graph claims to make, just pointing out that Tiktok definitely has SOME percentage of a representation on the graph as well.
Considering that the Chinese Government only owns 1% stake in Bytedance, it's interesting that the Chinese government has a board seat on the company isn't it? https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/beijing-takes-stake-board-seat-in-bytedances-key-china-entity-the-information-2021-08-16
Usually you need to get voted in, and need to be a larger stakeholder than simply 1%... This alone is enough to claim there's foul play. Yet you all are screaming from the top of your lungs "My rights"... As if you couldn't post whatever the fuck you want literally ANYWHERE else.
I see a common feature of BOTH problems. Do you? And it's not racism for me to call that out regardless of what bullshit you concoct in your head.
