      Every country has its flaws and dark history and levels of corruption and knowingly, the government officials are corrupt in terms of what benefits them the most... back to the main topic, within the highlights of this video, it only shows the summary of what transpired, not the entire story and/or the mismanagement of how the platform functions and/or its strong ties to the CCP. The main concern w/ TikTok that the US have concerns over is what information it collects and who it shares it to with including w/ the CCP even though they say they don't/won't but who's to say what their parent company, Byte Dance dictates and is under the influence of the CCP.

      The point of the conference is to have him 'convince' them that he isn't a liar, but he failed to claim he isn't.
      The majority of people on youtube comment section though don't know how to access certain information on why TikTok is bad, the CCP pretty much wants to make sure no one covers it in the mass media.
      Why else did you think the 2nd in command on the Echelon of the CCP threw a hissy fit when America threatened to ban TikTok?

      Trust in Jesus, Hell is real and eternal! This is what the Bible says about it..
      "The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matthew 13: 41-42
      Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven "I am the way, the truth, and the life no one comes to the father but by me." John 14:6 Ask God to reveal this to you- He will!
      "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 ADMIT THAT YOU'RE A SINNER. We've all broken God's laws and ten commandments.. "Thou shalt not lie, steal, covet, dishonor parents, take God's name in vain.."(Exodus 20) We do not have righteousness on our own to get to heaven, "God made him (Jesus) who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." 2 Cor. 5:21 Godly sorrow leads to genuine repentance for sinning against the righteous God and there is a change of heart, we change our mind and God changes our hearts and regenerates us from the inside out. God is deadly serious about sin, when we genuinely repent we hate sin just as God hates it, and we turn away from it.
      "But God commended His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOUR SINS, WAS BURIED, AND THAT GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD. This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was. He saves us from sin and hell and brings us into a relationship with him. We become God's children. We are saved from hell, eternal death.
      "For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13 CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD. Every single person who ever lived since Adam will bend their knee and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.

Republicans court voters who are mostly rural, low educated, racists, xenophobic, suoremacists, populist firsters, and nationalists, generally the bottom of the barrel that dragged the American economy backwards and downwards while placing a burden on other taxpayers in the middle class all the way to the top 1%. The questions are designed to appeal to these voter base who will consume the "questions" as their elected representative beating down the foreigner Chynaman so they feel good. The strategy is to make enough manufactured viral moments for confederates to share in social media.

    Chew is shocked when he was asked if Tik Tok need to be connected to Wi-Fi. 😂
    Chew: Ok, I didn’t expect these. I have prepared so many technical documents and facts that how Tik Tok is improving the data security.😂

      Forbes posts the full 5-minute questioning from each committee memeber. Paints a completely different picture when you get the full context. Makes me wonder why Insider News would create such a one sided edit. There is bipartisan support for banning tiktok.
