Nah I think the best thing for the Chinese government to do would be to direct Tik Tok to leave the US market. Put it on Huawei app store or something and watch all the zoomers learn how to sideload apps.
If Tik Tok leaves the US market it'll still be a huge social media player in Europe and the rest of the world. That would be an American soft power nightmare - a global platform that Americans are blocked from influencing on by their own laws.
When do we get a say on how the usual process works?

How easy is it to raise your children in India if you're working as a maid?
Shit like this is exactly why I don't want to compromise on shit like , "unlimited genocide on the first world", and jokes about the mayocide.
There will never be an end point to this kind of bad faith concern trolling. If you start giving ground in the name of liberal respectability they'll whittle you down to arguments about genocidal fruit.
I know a few people who work in the UN/international courts and the emotional toll is exhausting. Spend years of your professional life compiling visceral evidence of genocide and crimes against humanity only to see it sit in a file somewhere because it's not politically expedient to prosecute the perpetrator.
China is so good at genocide that it can prevent any refugee outflows to neighboring Turkic Muslim countries and hide all video evidence in a day and age where every person has a video camera in their pocket.
China is so bad at genocide that its ingenious schemes can be foiled by one plucky German religious zealot and an Australian think tank funded by Raytheon.
It's got to be some kind of projection when they can't fathom people being pro LGBT rights without pretending.
The Saudis used their British weapons to bomb Yemen and create one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes in recent memory. The UK sold weapons to Saudi before, during, and after the Saudi involvement in Yemen.
Perhaps Russia should have merely bombed Ukraine to the point of starvation. Then they'd be a good dictatorship that the UK would be happy to carry out business negotiations with.
You know what? I never thought I'd say this but I'm with Ukraine on this one.
This whole counter offensive insanity is so militarily nonsensical that it had to have been mounted to please the West with a "win" so that they'd stay in the war. Real Chiang Kai Shek committing the best of the KMT army to Shanghai to impress the Westerners energy.
The West is standing on the sidelines, supplying just enough equipment to keep the embers going and judging the ordinary Ukrainians going to their deaths by their hundreds.
Fuck the clowns in charge in Kiev and fuck the Nazi militias obviously. But at this point the men being sent to the front are old men and boys dragged off the street against their will. Sending them to die to appease the West is fucking sick.
Many years ago, before I had even discovered /r/chapotraphouse, I used to post on /r/geopolitics. Of course as you can imagine the self-important nerds there would accuse people left and right of being Chinese/Russian bots. I once asked why the fuck the MSS or FSB or whatever would spend their time shitposting on a sub with like a thousand users and they claimed that "real international relations experts post here regularly" and then I got banned.
Worth it.
Denormalize recording and streaming people in public. Especially if you're trying to get people onto public transportation, many potential riders are going to be put off by the idea of being photographed and recorded.
