The federal investigation into ByteDance comes as concern over the security threats to Americans related to TikTok has intensified this week. The Biden administration has threatened a potential ban on the popular social media app in the U.S. if its Chinese owners refuse to sell their stakes in it, a source close to the company told NBC News on Thursday. That came after U.S. intelligence officials expressed concerns that China can use TikTok to spy on Americans or influence U.S. public opinion.

Only way it will influence U.S. public opinion is if some jackass bans it to score some cheap political points.

100 million Americans use tiktok and non of them care its a Chinese app. ByteDance executive team should all be arrested by the Chinese authories if they allow a sale to take place. The best they can do is to message out "the us govt does not allow american the free choice of association, thereby we will be removing our app from the US app stores on xxxx and will prevent US IPs from logging in" The US wants to steal tiktok and Bytedance wants the the US to show its colors. See who blinks first.

Whats next? We need to install vpn to access Chinese weibo, billii, douyin, wechat etc?

Jake Sullivan: President Biden, China just humiliated us by ending the petty feud by Saudis and Iranians on Xi’s coronation day. What shall our response be? More arms sales to Taiwan? Freedom of navigation flights? More sanctions against SeeSeePee affiliated firms?
Darth Brandon: Heck no man. Let’s take twerking videos away from teenage American voters.

This is why they must distract the plebs by playing up the threat of big bad China. Once the plebs have woken up the elites will be sweeping streets in New Delhi, where once in a couple of hours their bodily orifices will be involuntarily expanded.

Oh my goodness, this is really fun, the West will hope the future Kremlin leader will send Putin to The Hague:

What does the ICC arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin mean in reality?
While the ICC does not recognise immunity for heads of state in cases involving war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide, in an important precedent, South Africa declined to enforce an ICC warrant for the arrest of the Sudanese dictator Omar al-Bashir during a visit in 2015.

Pretoria argued that it saw “no duty under international law and the Rome statute to arrest a serving head of state of a [ICC] non-state-party such as Omar al-Bashir”, and several other countries that he visited also declined to arrest him.

So what is the point of this?
While Putin seems secure in his power now and safe from extradition, a future Kremlin leader may decide it is more politic to send him to The Hague than to protect him.

Is Switzerland ready to spread her legs for some much needed injection of sugar daddy bailouts Xi Jinping thoughts?

I just realized something funny upon further examination of the photo. Compare and contrast Hua Chunying's expression with that of the Swiss government officials.



Hua has this genocidal smirk on her face whereas the expressions of her counterparts could be described as grave, shit eating grin, and on the verge of tears respectively. It is absolutely alarming. The closest comparison I could draw is Bubba receiving three white collar cellmates over a giant tub of lub.

What's not to love/like about Madam Hua Chunying? she's based whenever she deals with absurdities and absurd turds like Pompeo and like him that represent the current crop of so-called clowns in the west.

No point in talking with Switzerland unless their stance on American aggression is clarified.

China should recieve the full Ukraine package from Switzerland in the event of America using the separatists as an excuse to invade. I.e. American government assets in Swiss accounts be forfeit to China for the purposes of rebuilding and funding defense.

Any other deal fully exposes Switzerland as siding with some invaders but not siding with other invaders, and as such they should be treated as the enemy, not as a neutral country approaching for a loan.
