TikTok CEO getting questioned in Congress while Apple CEO welcomed in China — that means China is more open to foreign businesses? Not in reality.
On March 23, TikTok Chief Executive Shou Zi Chew faced about five hours of questioning during a congressional hearing, at which U.S. lawmakers expressed concern that the immensely popular short-video platform poses a threat to personal data and national security.
The Biden administration has pushed TikTok to change its Chinese ownership or face a possible ban in the United States. Beijing said it "resolutely opposes" the divesture, while Chew insisted that Bytedance, as a private company, is beholden to its shareholders and board, not the Chinese government. Similar to Hu’s comment, Chinese state media also seized on the apparent contrast between the two events to misleadingly suggest that China provides a more open and freer environment for U.S. companies than the U.S. does for Chinese companies.quotedTo begin with, it is ironic that Hu made his comment, and many of his jabs at the United States echoing Beijing’s talking points, on Twitter, a U.S. internet company that has been banned in China since 2009.
