What a fool that author of the tweets is, the USD based GDP is only valid for as long as the petrodollar remains. Let's see what the US GDP would look like when the Saudis stop accepting USD for their oil.
He is not a fool. He is just fooling his readers who don't know the difference between GDP in PPP terms and nominal GDP. Measuring GDP in nominal and per capita terms, while ignoring the effects of yuan appreciation/dollar depreciation is one way for Western commentators to cope with China's rise. Another typical way is to spread doom's day story about China's demography, as though the West's demography is much better.

China will be the largest contributor to global economic growth in 2023 and far beyond.

China has been the driving engine of post cold war era economy, only DC hawks wants to pull all the world in recession because they can't compete with china and grow their economy without looting resource & oil rich country. Oh my bd USA is planning to invade Haiti because it has oil & natural gas as much as venezuela.
 
Tiktok has already done everything that the US government asked it to do. It didn't stop the US government for demanding more and pondering a total ban of the app. If the Chinese government didn't intervene, Tiktok would have been a US company by now. There is no shame from the US from committing highway robbery. However, that doesn't excuse how easy Zhang Yiming craved or the fact that Tiktok has little value in expanding and extending Chinese influence and culture.
Have to disagree on the last point. Anything that humanizes Chinese people and China, including demonstrating the equality of the human condition in everyday ways, is good for standing up to Western propaganda demonizing Chinese people and China, even if unintentional and uncontrolled.

Edit: in fact it is better when unintentional and uncontrolled
