And i just saw an anti-China anti-ccp video on tiktok yesterday. A number of them last week. I saw pro Hong Kong Independence video too. If the ccp is manipulating public opinion using tiktok, they are doing a terrible job at it. Bytedance is incorporated in Cayman islands. From a legal perspective it's not subjected to any Chinese laws, including the intelligence law. The tiktok subsidiary is not under Chinese law as well. The management of tiktok is all Americans. And Tiktok is run by American employees, there are 1500 of them. If Chinese government is forcing them to manipulate the algorithm in favor of Chinese, they would have said something in public by now. Also, 2 out of 4 board members of the company is none Chinese. American investor Sequoia and BlackRock owns 40% of the company. They obviously would know if the company is owned by the government right? They also know the day to day operations of the company and they would know if tiktok is being used by the Chinese government for propaganda purposes right? Honestly, given the amount of smearing and disinformation about China and Chinese government in Western media, I can honestly say the ccp is super weak at doing any kind of PR messaging. Half the world still believes the coronavirus is manufacturered by the Wuhan lab and is released to world as a bio weapon. Even when scientists have repeatedly debunked it as a conspiracy theory. It's almost as if ccp isn't even trying at controlling the public opinion. Just let the rumors fly wild. Back in April, I have seen so many videos about this conspiracy theory on Tiktok. Meanwhile, look at how fox news, PragerU and other conservative media are blaming China and defending Trump for things US scientists, public health experts and policy makers have called him on. Look at how they have attacked Dem cities and Dem leaders while promoting themselves as the just and righteous. This looks more like manipulating public opinion and pushing out propaganda to me.
