So, TIKTOK is complaining about America banning it here due to China's influence.

China has implemented strict regulations on the export of business data. Under the Data Security Law and the Cyber Security Law, certain types of data, especially “important” and “core” data, are subject to stringent controls and must undergo security assessments before they can be exported.

This includes data from critical information infrastructure operators and personal information that meets certain thresholds.
China is a hypocrite, you don't have freedom in China, on the illusion of SOME freedoms.
