China is the only country that has institutionalized large-scale IP theft under its joint venture system, which is fundamentally abusive. Meanwhile, the CCP promotes "free trade" and demands full access to US/EU markets. It's time we impose the same restrictions on Chinese companies that they apply to ours.
US requires the same of TikTok and other Chinese companies operating in its country.
Ditto for most of the west - who have used fears of data processing in China as the reason for the mandated carve outs.
It really is time we banned TikTok everywhere.
