Hong Kong/Beijing CNN —China has described a potential TikTok ban as “an act of bullying” that would backfire on America.
Cybersecurity experts say that the national security concerns surrounding TikTok remain a hypothetical — albeit troubling — scenario.
US officials have not publicly presented evidence that the Chinese government has accessed the user data of US TikTok users, an outcome that lawmakers say their bill is intended to prevent.
In recent comments to reporters, Wisconsin Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher, who chairs a House select committee on China, rejected characterizations of the bill as a TikTok ban.
“It puts the choice squarely in the hands of TikTok to sever their relationship with the Chinese Communist Party.
