You got it backwards, its China that has the killswitch over the US AI and US economy

Killing Huawei was 100x more important than Tiktok. US already used up all its cards, best one was EUV.

Even supposing US had a magical killswitch, why would they waste it on TikTok? Does not pass litmus test
If China has as much leverage as the US then we should not see a "global operations sales" of Tik Tok, it would make no strategic sense as the soft power gain from Tik Tok far out strips any financial compensation the US can provide in return.

The only compensation of similar value to a Tik Tok sale is turning over Taiwan and TSMC on a platter - that could be worth it to control the global hardware supply chain, in exchange for the US controlling the global software supply chain. Anything less is a steal.

You know it’s game over when female Asian liberal journalists are defecting to the Wumao cause.
Indeed, you know that western whitecels are finished when the biggest defenders of white supremacy are defecting like that :cool: You can already spot them malding in replies and reciting their mantras, e.g.:
This obviously isn’t a serious analysis of any kind. The country is in massive trouble, demographic decline, relative economic stagnation, and possibly on the brink of war.
It’s a shithole full of arseholes? ( in my experience )
:D:D:D

We do not see any TikTok sale, we just see American desperation while looking for evidence to support their fantasy.
What we do see is ByteDance ignoring Biden and shutting it down for 12 hours, then ignored Supreme Court and US Congress and turned it back on before Trump started his term.

Taiwan and TSMC isnt American to turn over, American choice on this is purely between losing their empire for Taiwan or losing their empire to something else later.

This is what you don''t seem to understand: America is not China equal and has no right to divide the world up with China, America's choice is either to live in China's world or not live at all.
