Trying to make this about race is lame. A weak straw man.

(Reasonable and educated) People in the US don’t care about the race of TikTok upper management, they care about the influence of a hostile government that is openly waging a fourth-generation war with the US. Sweden for example is not.

TikTok posing as an independent California company when we all know that is not the case is not helping them.

Reasonable and educated people in the US should be more critical of their own government which wages wars all around the world. China isn't a saint either but let's be real.

This seems like a non sequitur, although I do agree that more people should be more critical or at least cautious to support actions by the US abroad. The parent comment didn’t compare the US and China (foreign policy or otherwise). For instance, there was no discussion of any US big tech involvement in China.

They did, however, compare Sweden and China, both with respect to the US.
