The world has seen too much. Lies from the Chinese government simply do not work any longer.

I mean it’s comedic how easily you Muppets get pulled around by your politicians. China has an information overreach, so… that means the dancing videos on tiktok are evil.
See how silly that sounds? That’s how you sound.

No, China has a long history of institutionalized censorship and attempts to hide reality from not just their own citizens, but from the world. They do so through direct suppression (such as arrests, police brutality, harassment, threatening family members of dissidents abroad) and through social media campaigns similar to those of Russian troll farms.
China is a totalitarian state that exerts direct control and ownership of all business in China, TikTok is no different. It is extremely naive (or dishonest) to deny that they do not use TikTok as a means of social engineering, the CCP’s eagerness to control information has never simply stropped at their borders:
