Guess that ends their ambitions of ever owning white servants.
Any country that switches its recognition of foreign sovereignty according to its current political interests shouldn’t be the international authority of anything. The US is basically showing the world that it can’t be trusted as an objective defender of the international order - ironically even an order of its own creation - but we already knew that.
The US’s vassals will, of course, follow obediently as they always do; but it should be more than clear to third party observers by now that the US is merely another player in the great game and not fit to be any sort of global police.
As for India, we’ll see if they remember what happened last time when Nehru tried to take advantage of Western lip service to try and gain territory from China. A repeat of 1962 could very well happen if Modi isn’t careful.
I feel like Biden is ramping up the heat on Tiktok because he (actually his cabinet more likely since Brandon is senile) needs to vent after getting cucked in the Middle East. Balloons and Twerking apps are relatively defenseless targets to take one's anger out on.
Zoomer already don't want to join the military to fight in wars, despite crushing student debt. Taking TikTok away from them isn't going to get soldiers for that war against China either.
Once the Boomers ban Tiktok the Zoomers will be using VPNs to check on Douyin videos and learn Xi Jinping/Mao Zedong thoughts for real. It will be a self fulfilling prophecy. Should’ve just kept them happy watching twerking vids Brandon.
Looks like they’ll have to eat cats and dogs to make the ends meet.
This is a interesting battle to see. China has always been docile obedient when it comes to US attacks. It has always chosen profit and practicality over dignity.
Practicality will say that it makes no sense to have tik tok banned which means Tik tok loses the US market and probably other western markets too. That will make Bytedance lose all value they have over tik tok in those markets.
But dignity is also stake, Chinese dignity should be triggered that West will force them to sell a global successful social media platform that showed that even non-western non democratic country can be cool, hip and popular and extremely innovative.
Chinese national pride should be hurt if they capitulate and sell instead of getting banned, becoming a martyr and showing the true face of the west to the world.
I really hope China will stop any kind sale of tik tok. But I am afraid China has shown again again that its willing to surrender, when it bent over backward to do a humiliating trade deal with US under Trump, also recent resumption of trade with Australia when it has made no concession and has started to do open war mongering and even have taken steps to acquire nuclear subs, which probably will lead to nuclear weapons too in the future.
China has simply been too weak and too timid against western attacks. Its good that they are pragmatic. But sometimes when the injustice is so great, you need to take a stand just for the morale of the country, even if it is costly.
I hope they make the right choice.
