As an IT professional, this honestly felt like when an elderly user asks me questions, but actively refuses to listen or understand my answers.
I just walk off..dun waste my time and test my patience on these stupid and ignorant questions..
Shou Chew - the members of the board of directors of byte dance are retired generals from CCP military divisions , they are no longer from the communists party anymore. these generals have all retired from CCP since last year.
@@stayprepared2388 lol, all the more reasons to distrust them
Imagine trusting a former CCP general that is now responsible for sensitive data of their foreign political enemies 🤡
@@stayprepared2388 Not sure if you were responding to my comment or someone else's. The problem is a bunch of fossils asking the wrong questions, and trying to grapple with the concept of basic functionality of the internet.
EDIT: I softened my opinion on it getting banned. "But CCP bad" is not compelling enough of an argument in a vacuum to declare something to be banned.
@@JeyC_ wow I thought only the congress was stupid, turns out there’s the likes of you too, like every foreign company is to be distrusted except American-owned companies.
The level of incompetence is actually impressive. None of the questions were asked in the right way and everything just made the CEO look good.
He`s from Singapore - those people always look cool!
No, we all know he is scared of CCP, he. Is controlled by CCP, so he lying to Americans
They probably are still calling IT support these days to ask the question "why won't my computer turn on". "Did you plug it in?" "How do I do that?" 😅 How could they possibly understand internet, wifi, social media, public content
@@pennycncaus "Is the switch on your power strip glowing?"
@@pennycncaus That is not important, the important is is this CEO tried hard to cheat Americans, most os the Cngressmen asked him very sharp questions. That made him looked fear, as he knows how CCP controlled him and TikTok and also manipulate Americans and aims at destroying us, that”s CCP’s weapon to attack USA
They are not asking questions to get answers, they are asking questions to assign blame.
US American and their hate. It makes them disgusting, and lonely.
this was such a clown show
I can't believe American politicians are this incompetent
It's their tactics
YES, TOTALLY RIGHT. NO TO SOME US CONGREEMEN.
this hit deep

don't know what's there to laugh about. the company you are leading is about to be banned and you wanna laugh? how stupid are you
You are fools to allow tictok into your country! TicTok is designed to make your population dumb! TicTok is heavily censored in china, and they only allow 2 hours each day, and it is filled with national proprganda and that it. Only the american verison of tictok is filled with junks.
@@stayprepared2388 you mean a Singaporean? was a retired general from CCP military? Where's your brain?? lmao
I’m not even American but I legitimately feel second hand embarrassed for every US citizen since these are the people that make/dictate their laws…
There is no need to talk too much about how to treat Tiktok. The problem will be solved in the same way that the dictator, the Communist Party of China, treats the Chinese people. It is also fair!
The real issue is that the Chinese Communist Party controls every Chinese company through a shadow board, most of the time excluding anything put forward by the actual board. They cannot have any business dealings without being vetted by the CCP.
@@yucrane6174 I would rather living in China, than living in South America or Africa, due to much lower crime, or Middle East due to war. There are a lot of countries on earth facing a lot of problems, but overall, China is not that horrible, it is not good enough, but absolutely not that horrible. Sometimes, I think the western media tries to make the Western world is the only place good on earth
@@yucrane6174 Is it? 1 Child policy then switching to the 2-child policy and blaming women for not having more kids. Breaking the agreement w/ HK's freedom in democracy and promise after it was handed back over from British colonization, Uyghurs put in concentration camps to brainwash them for deculturalization of their religion and the way of life. What about Tiananmen Square and blocking everything that is in related to that and their rating system where their numbers are dictated by how much they favor the CCP? There are also other platforms to which they cannot access and is manipulated by the CCP on what they can and cannot use nonetheless the freedom of speech and expression.
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.
He seriously made everyone else in the room look dumb in a classy fashion
No. No. He didn't. They did it all on their own
They are dumb.
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.
Read the Bible, Walk with the Lord and give your life to Him!

😂😂
He probably have seen the questions the CEO of Google and Facebook had which was of similar amusement.😂 so that's why he managed to not laugh.
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?
The CCP banned all foreign apps, but throws a nasty fit when America bans one of them.
If you look at any of these hearings, very few of the questions are ever relevant at all. It was the same thing with Facebook and Google. One of the dumb reps actually asked the CEO of Google how an app got downloaded on his IPHONE.
The reality is most of these politicians just want to harness the media attention to grandstand and gain political clout.
He was asked point blank if ccp can access the data. IMHO he pivoted
i now have an insane respect for the ceo, even tho i hate the app. 5 hrs of pain and bro took it like a champ.
Mr.Chow, if I breathe, will TikTok have access to my lung?

Watching Congress asking questions will do more damage to a kid's brain than a TikTok video ever could

作为中国人，恳请美国制裁tiktok，你们美国人不知道tiktok多可怕，在中国，香港暴乱，tiktok把警察宣传成正义的一方，把香港人民宣扬成邪恶的人民，我们都知道香港人民只是在保护自己法律和人权。在中国，只要中国政府想要把事情让百姓理解成什么样子，TikTok就会大量的宣扬和报道，老百姓的认知就被统一带偏了，从而无法得到真相。你们想被渗透吗，想慢慢没有思考和不在知道真相吗？
It was a pleasure to watch a CCP driven company get hammered, I want more of it.
@@mrrey8937bot. Why do you believe all that crap if you actually used tiktok or did a second of research you’d realize no government has any say on tiktok
A couple of senior citizens confidently asking questions about something they absolutely have little knowledge about.🙄
I genuinely find them extremely offensive and rude, most likely because it’s a group of white elderly congressmen who lack any sort of IT knowledge...It’s actually unbelievably obvious that their reasoning for wanting to ban TikTok isn’t based on wanting to protect teenagers and children, but mostly to do with the fact that the developer of the app is Chinese and the congressmen have a racial hatred towards them which is absolutely sickening. He answered their questions truthfully and accurately each time whilst they have the audacity to respond with ‘mhmmmm...Nope, I don’t believe you. Lies.’ It’s disgusting...

Yeah, that WIFI question...... even a kid in UK with basic GCSE Electronics knowledge would found it hard to answer. I used to ask in my days, why on earth did we have Grade G in GCSE..... in the old O-Level, we only had A B C D E and then U (which was a failed). Then they started to introduce the concept of F G grade for the more retarted people..... now I know why we need those grades exist for the congress and senate in United States.

ByteDance answers to the CCP, it's quite obvious and the information you can find quite easily if you looked.
They went in with the conclusion
Did you listen to the question? He's another CCP puppet. This account and comment section are 90% CCP bots and Tiktok users that did NOT watch the hearing, instead based their opinion off a few seconds from a sympathetic compilation.
If you watch the very beginning of the hearing, you'll see that the CEO even tells them where he's from, where he was educated, and even where he met his wife. Like the other commenter said, they came in with conclusions.

Congress was taken over by political insurrectionists who are fighting a culture war. 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.

Personally, I don’t use TikTok and never had! But, it’s sad to see such pathetic testing! When did US start caring about user data and privacy? I firmly believe that this is a deliberate move from US companies that have lobbied the congress to counter the growth of TikTok and ban altogether!
Maybe yt? My comments can disappear here next second.
Because Tik Tok threatened Google and Microsoft, Twitter
yes, facebook is among them.
Because Meta spent $20 million lobbying congress to ban TikTok last year alone. Nearly every congressman who spoke in the hearing holds Meta stock and many have been acquiring more Meta stock over the past 3 months.
imagine the outrage that Meta had when EU asked them to not pass personal data to US. They blamed the EU. Bytedance takes costly measures to store the data in US. Like databanks, from US? I wonder who gets those money: US?

I love to see people taking about something they don't understand
They understand its trash.
I know, you are demonstrating it very well.
Very ironic if you think back to the NSA Spy scandal back in 2013. Isnt it?
I’m just sad these are the people are a part of the government

This is incredibly painful to watch. How are these the people in power?
This looks like me saying to my grandpa that pa u can talk with people who are thousands of mile away in phone.
U.S. representatives are so embarrassing…
Americans who want the app banned are being petty that they didn't create it and don't make money from it
You earn good social credit score! You get a cat-wife! China party is proud of you!
@@DA-bm2mj 😂😂 100% fact
It’s not hard to notice our representatives are out of touch lmao
@@shakam3 there are apps made by americans far more succesful than tiktok
I’m so embarrassed by these congressmen and their questions. They obviously don’t know what they’re talking about. Pupil dilation? 🤨
I don't think they let you bring your brains to congress anymore.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
well in theory anything that is an input to the device could be used to feed the algorithm, again in theory. they should probably do what youtube did. keep the kids, creators, and watchers separate by building an app for each demographic.
Why? The guy is full of it
@@quning1984 wait how?
These senators are so embarrassing 🙈
Not a fan of TikTok, but you have to admire how articulate and confident of a speaker this man is
Every time Congress tries to “grill” CEOs in this type of hearings, they end up showing how ignorant they are 😓
Lmao I can’t forget how they tried to ask iPhone questions in a Google hearing
That CEO is an amazing individual.
By the name you look Asian. 😂
Mr. Wu, could you make yourself a little more discreet? This account and comment section are 90% CCP bots and Tiktok users that did NOT watch the hearing, instead based their opinion off a few seconds from a sympathetic compilation.
Probably not. I think he is much better than the Congress people just in the way he presents himself.

this is literally me trying to explain to my mom that I can't pause valorant
(she still doesn't believe I can't pause it)
Damn man im on my 3rd year in BS-IT and I wish to god these congressmen are the panelist for my thesis that would put on a such a great relief knowing I can probably pass my thesis
this is so embarrassing as an American im so sorry you had to go this and I love the way how you answered all the questions perfectly spoke the truth and did a very good job thank you TikTok!
This is basically the beginning of full decoupling，Prepare for a comprehensive 50% increase in your living prices
He is my countryman from Singapore! No we are not a part of China 😅.
He didn’t speak the truth. Many of the questions were idiotic. But there are very serious concerns about TikTok. And Chew danced and avoided and double-spoke around all the serious ones. Plus he lied.
Speaking the truth was the last thing on his agenda.
He spoke nothing but the truth. However, the congressmen clearly struggIed to get him to say the things they wanted him to say. It was hilarious to watch as their plan faiIed lol.
Our congress makes us look so ignorant… This is who we have repping us 😭
That's why your country is in a war with Syria and Iran today. (Countries which should be avoided in the first place) they are literally bombing each other right now, and not to forget ,U.S trying to start a real war with Russia in europe and China or North korea in the east. Which will be a catastrophe for U.S. I feel bad for the U.S .
@@gohjonathan145 Sure lil wumao.
@@arisioz americans are so clapped
@@arisioz you suffered 5 emotional damage lol. It's ok bro you can stop the cope.
I actually hope it gets banned it’s just a disgrace. It’s just teens with no life posting stupid challenges with there stupid tts.
We try to blame TikTok instead of blaming bad parenting.
“Boy that’s creepy, tell me more about that.” Lol someone check this man’s hard drive
I could sense the honesty and confidence in Shou Zi Chew answers, which I never felt in testimony of other US big tech CEO's.
Oh boy. You’re just the target audience China loves.
@@tonymartin7849 What a dumb reply. Santosh didn't mention anything about China or the content of what Chew said, he's just talking about Chew's confidence and comparing to US big tech CEOs (who are undoubtedly not as good at answering questions or speaking to the public)
@@tonymartin7849 反驳对方的主要观点＞反驳对方的部分观点＞驳斥，但所说的话与原文无关＞臆想他人的身份，攻击别人的个人特点＞辱骂。很显然，少说话可以避免暴露你的愚蠢。
he does have all the answers.
that said, it can all be just a front.
or worst he really believes what he says, but the CCP already have control of all the leadership positions in their company and can pull any string they want right under the nose of the CEO.
And the US probably has one of the worrst track-records when it comes to respecting users' rights. Even so, it's easy to create paaranoia in a chauvinistic, Sinophobic place like the US.
"Congressman. First, I'm Singaporean." Patience of a saint
The question is Chinese employees in China have to disclose Tiktok data to ccp if ccp asked for , its nth related to nationality
@@hkccp i think it's much worse for american gov to get all their citizen data and monitor their every step than the ccp getting the data, and even if ccp does get your data, as long as you don't plan to visit china, you are more than safe because in that case all they can do is for business purpose to sell you items that you want at a cheaper price (cutting the middleman profit); on the other side, well, you are being monitored anyways in usa by amazon, walmart (the middleman) etc etc and you name it, and i don't really think the current american system really provide aid for their citizen, more like they are controlling their every step but feeding them the lie that they are free, but in fact what they do can be much worse than what the ccp can be doing since they are monitoring their own citizen but their lies claim they don't, and you know the truth, there are so much lies that would offer me no confident to trust them, for the ccp, i don't know them enough that would give me enough confident to trust, you see the difference?
The core of the issue was stated in the beginning by the chair and ranking member and the rest were just questions. The logic to the CCP is easy:
TikTok is beholden to ByteDance.
ByteDance is Beholden to the CCP.
So, TikTok is beholden to the CCP.
The logic is perfectly valid. It is called a Hypothetical syllogism (HS).
If A then B.
If B then C.
So, If A then C.
@@hkccp that's funny !!! as we konw Edward Snowden is chinese!🐷🐷🐷🐷
No, he's in Congressional inquiry, he must obey the law.
You can't banned internet when children saw the challenge... They would do it anyway... They might not seen it on Tiktok but in another platform before decided to do the challenge.
"congressman, i'm singaporean" took me tf out
It's amazing how good they made the TIkTok CEO look. If you had told me he had paid them to look stupid I would believe you.
remember Facebook and Google, they improve slightly after those 2 catastrophic
Idk why but the fact that the representative from Texas is wearing an eyepatch just feels so right to me
He looks like a barbarian
Dan Crenshaw, former seal, pretty good story to, he seemed to be the only one that asked a decent question even though it could've been worded more clearly
0:42 why you need eyes, wow what kind of question is that.
Some of these congressmen are still living in the red scare
I think for them, red scare ever truly ended
