Well the play was obvious in the US TikTok case wasn't it? They weren't REALLY about banning it, they just want to force sale of a massively profitable apps to western owners (selected ones, obviously).
- wkat4242 3y agoWell for a while Trump just wanted to ban it because people used it to register for his rallies and then not show up to give him a comically small turnout. Later it became more nuanced and economical. But the EU does have a point and they're not just targeting Chinese apps.

If you have any evidence that the government was trying to influence which non-Chinese firm would end up owning TikTok or collecting TikTok's profits, lay it out for us. I always thought that the government was leaving that choice up to the current owners of TikTok.
