“ 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.
