OK, so lets say they moderated it the same way here as they did in China.... All good now?

I don't think it matters at all how tiktok is actually being managed or moderated in the US - Americans simply do not trust anything Chinese.

The cold war never ended.

By moderating, if you mean using the same algorithm for the content feed, it would make a significant difference to a lot of people I believe.

Not a chance lol

Most americans don't know a single thing about China, but almost every one of them would tell you that it's a anti-free speech hellscape.

The only thing that matters is that it originated in China. Nothing else they do could change the opinion of the american public.
