        Singaporean

        What kinda drug are you on, because if it can fly me that far from reality, I wanna give it a try.

        And now, a message from reality:

        TikTok, whose mainland Chinese counterpart is Douyin, is a short-form video hosting service owned by Chinese internet company ByteDance.

        ByteDance Ltd. is a Chinese internet technology company headquartered in Haidian, Beijing and incorporated in the Cayman Islands.

        ByteDance was founded and is headed by one Zhang Yeming, born April 1, 1983 in Longyan, Fujian, China.

        TikTok itself is based in Singapore and Las Angeles, but is owned by a company based in Beijing.

        Oh, and despite your claims that investigations have proven that the Chinese government has no hand in TikTok whatsoever, this is entirely false. Investigations haven’t proven anything either way. However, they have found evidence that the CCP is using TikTok covertly. Additionally, last year, a former employee claimed that the CCCP utilized the platform to spy on pro-democracy protesters in 2018.
