It is not odd at all when the foreign company is one of the largest espionage threats to United States, which is one of the largest markets in the world.

Yes, the US government is mulling over the idea of banning TikTok but that is only one of the problems. The immediate problem is that US companies have seriously assessed the security risk. TikTok and China have a credibility problem in the business world.

TikTok shareholders sees the same risk and they want to protect their investment. Not odd or surprising.

Are you referring to something specific or this is a Bush doctrine sort of thing?
