Have any direct, verifiable, falsifiable and testable evidence with clear a audit trail?

I'd love to see it

Sorry for the high bar. Remarkable stories of secret vast networks of communist mind control have a long history. I claim aggressive skepticism of supposed international plots by a cabal of communist puppetmasters is warranted.

I mean Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, real spies. Not saying this stuff is impossible, there's just a lot of noise here.

Hell there's the long forgotten 1980s espionage by the Japanese stealing stuff from IBM https://www.upi.com/Archives/1983/02/09/Hitachi-pleads-guilt... stuff does happen... Espionage in the Silicon Valley, a book published in 1984, is a pretty good summary of them if you're really interested. You'll have to toss about $20 on the used market to get a copy though. (I should send mine to internet archive)

You're surprisingly passionate about defending TikTok and CCP.

Also, I want to note how your comment is structured:

1. Demand an impossible proof.

2. Gaslight with remarks about vast spy networks, mind control and illuminatis.

3. Distract with an irrelevant, but true story.

Like I said, you're defending TikTok & CCP with surprising passion and competence.

It's not impossible.

I literally gave two examples along with a giant book of where such proof is.

Yes, true stories, that's what I'm asking for. Not fantastic tales inspired from the protocols of the elders of Zion.

Something like the Panama papers or Epstein or the VW emission scandal. There's more examples

Proof of having a capability and proof of using said capability is not the same thing. Your line of reasoning is no different from people who bitch about security patches costing performance when there is no evidence of exploits in the wild.

At this point, I would even settle for circumstantial evidence. Just no "it might happen".
