“ no evidence has ever been presented by U.S. officials showing that China has attempted to do so.”
Stories abound. Heck, go to China and search for Tiananmen Square.
We went from the issue with TikTok being … it’s controlled by the Chinese to it not being controlled by Republicans. Enjoy your MAGA TikTok, kids.
So Trump hand-picks the collection of billionaires who will “buy” Tik Tok. The one question about this deal is how large of a kick-back the transactional Trump is paid as a reward for favoring his friends.

It’s not about the money, it’s about the control. Just like how the algorithm changed after the brief shutdown in early 2025, it will change again. TikTok will be state-owned media.
“The joint venture will control and monitor the code and all content-moderation decisions. Administration officials say the retraining will nullify any risk of Chinese interference and influence.”
