That is what Patriotism is all about, Unlike Africa or Nigeria in Particular - that are ready to sell Secrets, even to the Kidnappers,the Terrorists and Criminal across the Borders, including some traditional rulers!
Of Course,don't rule out those who called themselves Leaders - from Past Local Govt,State Governors, Ministers, Executive,etc- Just Because of Money!
•In America,Your Loyalty to your Country First is Paramount - Far Above any Economic Benefits!,e g the Lordships believed that some elements of Tik- Tok might be haboring the Chinese Secret elements - for collecting Secrets Information on America or Other Countries!
Did you know that Chinese are the Most Secretive,as they don't even allow you to marry their Youths,so that no Information diversion.
In fact they always warn on this from time to time!

It might be hard but TikTok would have to move forward without the American market. Americans hate competition. TikTok is giving YouTube a heavy blow and YouTube is an American app.

If the U.S bans TikTok. That’s the beginning of the end for TikTok.


U.S government ban means, No more TikTok available for download on the Google play store and the App Store.

It will mostly affects all IPhone users worldwide, while it will slightly affects android users..

The TikTok owner is not smart 🧠 at all..

Sell the company, to a USA firm, buy shares in the firm

Use the money and start another platform.

Facebook is banned in China 🇨🇳

If TikTok is banned in America

People will naturally move to other platforms

Who will lose TikTok owner...

See the way is his flocking around Trump because he knows only Trump can save him app

There are buyers ready to take over , but Tik tok owner doesnt want to release tik tok algorithm, which makes it special and diffrent from all other sm apps. Without the algorithm,its useless and no one is ready to buy tik tok without its algorithm.

But, truth be told. The Chinese cannot have their free way in the United States.

All American social media apps are banned in China, but China wants there own app to operate free in the United States.

Obedience40:


Why are US not allowed in China??

China only recently started sanctioning the US from December 2024 and it is on American Defense System.
China only ADVISED its citizens not to ‘consume’ certain US software services, in the past.

US started the trade war through sanctioning.It took the fight to China’s doorsteps which led China to banning some American software because America too cannot say it’s not collecting Chinese people’s data.

There is nothing the US does that China doesn’t have its own version. China also has the population to consume what it does - wether software, app, hardware, products or services.

China has other markets which the US has lost or doesn’t have due to the US’s arrogance.

So, it the US that drew the first blood.

There’s a Netherlands company (ASML) that has the tech to manufacture nano chips in the whole world. It’s the only company that has proprietary knowledge (till date) and the US mandated the company not to sell chips to China. Don’t forget that China needs chips in all electronic productions.

There are lots of sanctions like that because China was manufacturing as scale and was making the US products at cheaper rate than America can do.

Why do you think Donald Trump is trying to sanction Canada with 25% more on tariffs?

It’s because of China because China has been establishing in Canada, which is closer to the US, under new company registrations. Such companies are no longer seeing as Chinese companies but Canadian companies.

The same thing is happening in Mexico. China is a master strategist, in world trades and manufacturing.

As at 2020, China ALONE manufactured over 36% of US products. It could have gone down a little now though. There are some other percentages being manufactured elsewhere like Latin America, Canada and Europe, India, Israel or other Far East Asian countries like Vietnam, Malaysia etc.

That’s when the US discovered its life is in the hands of China. After the travel ban was lifted, American ports witnessed surge in shipments arrivals and in a day more than 200 largest ships in the world could be waiting to berth at JUST ONE US’s Western port.

It’s Covid 19 that exposed the US that it’s no longer global leader beside(s) China. The whole global supply chain came to a halt because China could not manufacture or ship.

It’s the Americans that would pay for the sanctions and high tariffs because it’s not easy to quickly start setting up gigantic factories like those in China now, in the US. It will take years and more public debts for the US.

What China (and probably, Russia) is/are trying to crack up is the SWIFT banking technology being used in sending and authorizing payments worldwide. It’s part of what led to the birth of BRICS.

America knows it’s using its Dollars to hold the world economy down and it knows once China is able to develop its own world payment and banking system, the game is over because America has great influence on the Cooperative ownership of SWIFT system.

China has more countries under its belt than the US have. China ’owes’ all Arabian-Asian countries. It owes Africa, greater parts of Eastern Europe, some parts of Western Europe ( because it manufactures a lot for European companies), and a chunk of American companies. It’s growing at least 10% every year. Forget about what the western economists and their media houses report at 5-7% every year. That % is never a bad one though but China’s growth percentage is more than that.

So, if China is able to develop its own world payment systems, it would pull the plug off the US.

I hope you travel to the US and China then compare the two countries from economic and production angles.

If America hates competition then what do we say about China that virtually everything coming from outside is banned! This isn't about competition but about national security since they are telling him to sell! You can't harvest user data at will using your app and ban Facebook! No now!

The Supreme Court needs to help the typical American blind and misconceived hooked on TikTok. They can't see the very present danger it constitutes to their society.

But my fellow people don't see the threat it poses. Instead, they believe the US is banning it due to competition. The US owns the social media landscape, Chinese technology or not, they can't measure up at least not anytime soon

Its possible, but the algorithm work by giving user the same type of video contents in their feeds. If someone watches funny video for certain time the, algorithm will keep bringing same type of video again and again, that's why people get addicted to tik tok.
Besides, the algorithm connects users from different countries, making USA users to watch videos from other countries users. Without the algorithm, US users will only be able to watch feed from US users alone.

China runs a real economy while The US runs a financial economy.
All manufacturing for US companies is done in China.
a tax hike on finished goods exported to the U.S. will spark severe inflation, wreaking havoc on the U.S. economy.

I wonder why most Nigerian think from their back side. Of what importance is Tik Tok compared with the security concerns of a Country? Are most of you even aware that the Tik Tok offered in China is used differently and for mostly educational purposes? Not to mention that most American social media networks like facebook are banned in China?
