  A couple corrections:

  1. China also blocks TikTok (I shit you not)
  2. The US isn’t “blocking” TikTok, they are forcing the parent company to sell it

  If they don’t sell, and the US blocks it, then TikTok won’t have any users left - since the US is the only large country where TikTok is popular.
