China on Wednesday condemned U.S. lawmakers’ push to force the Chinese parent company of TikTok to sell the popular short video platform. Lawmakers say that Beijing could use TikTok to spread Chinese Communist Party messages or gain access to sensitive data about TikTok’s American users. Beijing rejected concerns that the app was a danger to the United States. China has opposed previous efforts in the United States to force ByteDance to give up TikTok. The fervor over the House bill is the latest episode in a yearslong saga over the app’s future in the United States.
