China has strongly criticized a bill moving through the U.S. Congress, which could potentially lead to the ban of TikTok in the country,

    Just because I don’t take China’s crocodile tears seriously doesn’t imply that I accept the US’s argument here.

        I’m laughing at the Chinese government. They obviously don’t believe what they’re saying, so why should anyone else take them seriously?

        It’s like a klansman complaining about racism. A missionary complaining about proselytizers. A smoker complaining about second hand smoke. Etc.

              Also consistent when you remember tit for tat bans are bloody common in the world.

              And sorta the point of modern caparilistic politics.

              You stop our nations companies selling to your citizens and we will do the same here. Lets face it. If any gov refuses to do so. Its rather disrespectful to their companies.

              The fact that each nation uses the spying excuse. When China is as likely doing it for control of its citizens and profit restriction. Just like the US.

              Lets face it. No 9ne sane thinks these types of apps are not spying. Just weather the respective governments have access to the data. And let’s face it. If you think either dose not. Beach front property in land locked areas for sale etc.

              It really just points them all as hypocrits.

              PS not American. But my nation is no better. And I am in no way saying any nation is atm. Or at least any nation with any power on the world stage.
