Whether it's a ban or not is up to China. If they don't want to change policy that's their prerogative.

So? Sounds like in that situation it _should_ be banned.
- bioemerl 4y agoAs far as I'm seeing here you're describing the same end result. I'm not going to disagree with you because at the end of the day I only care about that end result. However I also think this plan will prove way more unwieldy and easy to abuse than a more direct and honest ban that makes it clear China has none of our trust and is recognized as a proper hostile state.
- CogitoCogito 4y agoI'm not sure why you're being so argumentative. You and I are largely saying the same thing. I don't think it would be unreasonable for the US to ban the certain Chinese companies (e.g. Tiktok) _until_ China changes its laws and trade practices.
