It's not true, just to clarify it.
Many foreign corporations operating in China, only if they:
1. Keep all user data within the border.
2. Cooperate with censorship
TikTok meets the first condition in the U.S., and I think the issue lies with the second condition.
- sterlind 2y agoI could be wrong, but I thought you have to operate a subsidiary in China, which is majority Chinese-owned. for example, Azure China is operated by 21Vianet, who also owns all the infrastructure.
- suraci 2y agoYeah, that's the part 1, all data must be within the border so Azure in China can only be ran by a Chinese entity If you look at it from the other side, it's like Tiktok must be hosted by Microsoft/Amazon but not datacenters in China
