Young Western social media users are embracing a “very Chinese time” of their lives, and China’s government is keen to use this moment to boost the country’s cultural influence worldwide.
“I’m gonna insult you for a while, misrepresent your position then act like I’m going to be reasonable by asking for you to elaborate on your opinion”. Classic.
That article beautifully highlights the problem - you really have just swallowed the propaganda line that it’s a US app now, without doing any research into what the handover actually entailed.
The ‘article’ is nothing more than China bad cope and fearmongering from the typical american think tanks.
It says literally nothing about the sale. The sale to Oracle your regime’s scummy CIA company BTW.
As they want to keep their control over the press and any social media.
It’s them who want to influence people, this garbage article is a perfect example.
You offer zero facts for what is supposedly wrong about the sale only parrot your regime’s scaremongering.
TikTok closes deal to split US app from global business
That’s the headline of your article, the one you said had nothing to do with the sale. It also has no ‘china bad’ or fearmongering - it barely discusses china at all. You’re just making shit up and trying to gloss over when you’re called on it.
Seriously you can’t even keep the details straight in this extremely short conversation, but I should act like your insights into geopolitics are worthwhile to consider?
you really are insane, I was talking about the posted article saying nothing about the sale of TikTok or your imagined conspiracy about it.
I just posted a random link to another article to show that (for the 4th fucking time jeez!) it has been sold to your regime.
And for the 4th fucking time you still can’t come up with any validation for your paranoid propagandized BS.
Since that article has also nothing ‘highlighting your imaginary problem’.
So for the last time, if you’re not going to explain your batshit crazy conspiracy I can’t ridicule it and then you’re just boring me.
Get to the fucking point or go away
The AP article is neutral or pro-china, it has no fearmongering or ‘china-bad’ in it at all, and it has nothing to do with US think-tanks. You very blatantly got it confused with another poster in this thread, the one who posted an anti-china article from the think-tank ECFR, and responded like that’s what I was talking about.
Again: You cannot keep the details straight in a tiny comment thread. Why would I waste my time trying to further explain how the trump admin lied about the extent of the influence the US holds over TikTok? The article you posted clearly lays it out. If you won’t trust in (or apparently remember) your own sources, what hope do I have in penetrating the misasma of propaganda you’re so happily submerged in?
You are the confused one (deliberately) , I definitely ment the AP article,as I said.
It’s far from neutral and simply China bad fearmongering about China becoming more popular: "Xi has long pushed for his government to promote Chinese soft power abroad, calling on officials to “tell China’s story well”
This comes from the NYU “Center for Global Affairs”.
While it’s connected to a university and not purely a think tank with little clout, they do the same things and parrot the same narrative the US regime wants.
Not surprising, when they hire these types
For the 5th and last time you did not back up your BS and divert with this weak BS excuse.
so: “further explain how the trump admin lied about the extent of the influence the US holds over TikTok”
is absolute garbage, You explained absolutely nothing.
The reason for this is you are suffering from propaganda, being from the US banana republic where they are in fact submerged in unhinged propaganda.
So you’re clearly projecting.
I’m European, at least we have some objective views and can see through your BS and scaremongering about anyone and everyone the US regime doesn’t like.
So its clear, you have nothing and failed to justify your slanderous insinuations, which is all they are.
Oh my gosh you’re back! How brave! And with fresh, nearly plausible denials over just making a mistake.
Listen even if you were talking about the AP article, which you clearly weren’t, it was still obviously not the article I was talking about. Just… own the mistake, dude. Maybe we could get somewhere if you were capable of that kind of reflection. As it stands tho, all my previous points about the futility of me discussing anything with you stand proudly undaunted.
Alas though, ultimately your strategy of “start by repeatedly insulting the other person and then act all huffy and stomp your lil’ feet when they refuse to play your game” continues to not win me over. But good luck next time!
PS:
"Xi has long pushed for his government to promote Chinese soft power abroad, calling on officials to “tell China’s story well”
This… this is what you think “china bad” is? Lmfao dude this is such a fucking stretch. "Oh nooo, Xi told them to make china more popular in media! WooOooOooOOOOooo, scary!!!"

The article I was referring to was the one about the tiktok sale. That you just linked.
which like any other article confirms it was sold to the USSA.
So I still don’t see what you’re so upset about
