Are we being satirical or do we believe this is true?

One does not build a bio-weapon without a way to counter it for your own people.
Why do you think they locked their own folks completely in their homes?
Because they knew what the virus could do and needed to buy time while they got
the safer version out in the wild to inoculate people.

Yeah, they be brewing up a new batch of nasty down in Wuhan... But they will
probably build a vaccine for themselves first this time and make sure their
whole population will be good. Welcome to WW3.

Banning WeChat is probably more consequential, it's used for real things, not
just silly dance videos. And of course we can expect China to retaliate
against US companies. This feels like Rockem Sockem Robots.

Tick Tock the crocodile seems like a much bigger threat. Known hand (and
clock) eater.
But yeah, the app stores location data, and the Chinese government could get hold of
it. Hold on there, that's OUR government's job. Good thing other social media apps
like Facebook don't store location data. </sarcasm>
I saw a review of Reels, the competitor to TikTok that Facebook/Instagram took
2 years to develop, on a tech site. The review basically said Reels sucked in
comparison, and that TikTok was a well designed app, well targeted to what the
user and creator community wanted. How dare they succeed by designing
something people like.
So you could say that US social media companies can't come up with a better
product, so ban the competition. But it's probably more accurate to say it's
an election year.

I don’t even really understand what the threat is.
I downloaded tiktok to see what all the fuss was about.
All I saw were folks in various states of disrobement dancing to music.
What national security issue is this?
