It is not about morality or who says what. Can’t have billions of international users accepting Chinas censorship

So the alternative is to instead impose US censorship? How is that any better?
It's not a bad idea to principally ban social networks that exercise government censorship on their users. I don't know if TikTok does that. Do they? The problem is also that what one country regards as political censorship another country just considers the application of reasonable laws. However, in the case of China that's such an obvious lame excuse - I mean, they literally interrupt phone calls in which people use certain terms.
