Let’s assume for a second that TikTok really is a surveillance app designed by the PLA cyber command as some in the Trump administration allege. How, then, is a forced sale not a form of aggression or even warfare?
- extremeMath 6y agoDefinition of war has changed since nukes and the cold war.
- duxup 6y agoIsn't this similar to other trade rules that China has already? Who can do business as far as social media is concerned is already a situation where the government picks and chooses.
- learc83 6y agoSo in your scenario, kicking out a spy and confiscating their US based property is a form of warfare?
- icegreentea2 6y agoBecause dismantling other countries surveillance apparatus operating in your own soil is not aggression. It's just like breaking up spy rings, and destroying bugs. It's certainly an aggressive posture, but it's not really aggression.
- quantaum_dot 6y agoYes,right, every country other than US should ban Facebook
- icegreentea2 6y agoChina literally did ban Facebook.
- ourmandave 6y agoSeriously? Shutting down foreign spy ware is called national self defense. If they weren't so big they would have just been shut down.
- AnthonyMouse 6y agoExecuting spies isn't an act of war, it's an act of law enforcement.
