Bingo, media is really one of those sectors where PRC has assymetric advantage in exploiting western corporations vs western corp in PRC will never get PRC media filtering to budge. Hence TikTok ban/divestment is really about just pushing TikTok out of US/or world with app ban, there's too much risk to a mediated outcome where PRC can still exert assymetric influence.

The idea was that by doing business with them they would shift away from authoritarianism. If you look at the last years it is clear that exactly the reverse has happened. Companies are mainly profit driven and not by morals. They will happily compromise on their morals in the name of profit. In contrast the PRC will happily compromise on profits to keep control.
