There isn't a tiktok in China. Douyin isn't tiktok anymore than WeChat is Facebook.

And the reason for that is really simple, and it's not even nefarious; Tiktok isnt a Chinese company, and taxes in China are worse for foreign companies, and China doesn't respect foreign IP.

Yeah, side loading and or vpns. You'll probably still be able to use the web version regardless because Americans are stupid so I doubt whoever is enforcing this is going to block all venues.

Do you have a source that is not from a hostile intelligence agency?

Mainly because tiktok has nothing to do with China.

Well hope you're ready to pay way more in tax to support those losing their jobs with this decisions, all several million of them.

All so the Chinaman Boogeyman youve invented (which has nothing to do with tiktok) doesnt know you like watching girls doing cute dances.

You're not wrong, greenpeace is oil funded and has always been employed to redirect environmentalism away from anything that actually hurts the oil industry.

Only as long as the centralized authority stays aligned with you. Then you have the same problem.
