I agree: ByteDance should compete on merit, without being sheltered from competition by China's bans on foreign social media companies. Until then, why should America allow Chinese social media in its market when that access is not reciprocated? That's a much stronger rationale to ban TikTok than the national security argument, in my opinion.
- sahila 3y agoWhy does what China is doing with their laws bother you - should we institute the same internet restrictions because they are? China's support of Tiktok isn't what's allowing them to win out here in the US and that's what's of relevance to us in the West.
- Manuel_D 3y agoNo, but one-sided trade agreements are generally not the norm in international trade. Country A agrees not to put tariffs on Country B's cars if it doesn't put tariffs on Country A's cars. Reciprocal treatment is the norm. If country C outright bans country A's cars why should country A allow country C's cars in it's market?
