I really think probably the US and France both need to take responsibility for the situations they have created inside themselves rather than blame china. Whatever effect tiktok could be having is minuscule compared to the raw effects of generations of explicitly racist economic policies. Ruthless self-interest is a cultural value of the US! China didn't make it so.
At the very very most, something like you're talking about could only be an intentional trigger to an already-present instability.

Present day is is literally the least racist time in all of history in Western countries, the opportunities are endless for minority populations who immigrated in recent decades. Tiktok, on the other hand, is quickly eroding the moral fabric that Western society was built on and is necessary for a functioning and productive society Edit: Also not to mention the national security concerns (for all Western countries, USA, and EU countries) of forking over mass amounts of your civilians user data to probably your number one (or two, I guess, depending on who you ask) geopolitical opposition
