I was with you until you childishly suggested that the rightful rulers of China are an imperial dynasty rather than the will of the people. It's like calling America West England and claiming Charles is the rightful ruler because you disagree with the Vietnam War.
But yeah china would never allow free expression on their version of tiktok but let's ban free expression because china does is a bad argument. Let's make choices based entirely on merit and circumstance.
But there is part of America that basically is West England. That's called Canada.
What you post on Tiktok is free speech. How it get manipulated and shared to everyone else by an algorithm controlled by a Country that has everything to gain from the downfall of the USA is not free speech.
