I can do you one: TikTok being sold and now being under the control of Zionists.

This is objectively ground that has been lost. A platform that could have been used to counter propaganda within the empire and—dare I say—impart class consciousness has been lost. Many would say that this wasn't important but TikTok was a powerful mainstream voice China had.
Can you tell me who TikTok's new owner and CEO are?

If not, then to paraphrase Stephen from Django Unchained, "then both sides agreed on diddly."

It was supposedly an example that lead to 工业大摸底. A Chinese steel cable making company has been making cables with very high (and specific) specs for a foreign client. When they heard PLAN was doing RFQ for carrier arresting cables they thought they will give it a try. When they got the requirements from PLAN they realized to their shock the specs are very similar to that one wierd client of theirs. With the implication that end user for the cables that this client was ordering could very well be USN.

There's probably a non-trival amount of this happening with only the middleman who truely knows the link between Chinese supply chain and American MIC. If you want to investigate this though watch out for depressive tendencies that can lead to 8 shots to back of the head.
Decade ago some banana say Liaoning will just a floating restaurant because Chyna can't even make arresting cables and need to buy second hand cable from black market. So when those cable break the mighty US will just cut off then starve PLAN aircraft carrier ambition. Lol

Bananas are the worst. Should put them all into a giant blender, pour them into pie crust, and make some banana cream pie.

We also established that physical possession, in this case the algorithm and data centers, are infinitely more valuable than some worthless piece of paper showing legal ownership. Which begs the question: why is ByteDance going along with the content regulations?

Beats me, but at least we've established through all the hand wringing and talks of sales, the most important components of TikTok are still in China's possession and Bytedance is still the one making the decisions. Anyhow, as long as anti-China propaganda isn't promoted on the platform, why should we care?

Plus, as I said in a previous post, even if TikTok fully came under US ownership, Trump vowed to do to it what Elon Musk did to X. If he wants to promote Nazi propaganda and worsen America's partisan divides, I wouldn't be surprised if China would be all too happy to play along.

Well if this isn't another Nexperia level x3 retarded move by the Euros. Good luck falling further behind in AI, biotech and advanced manufacturing either.

It isn’t really Nexperia. China provides funding for themselves in joint collaborations projects. The 93.5 billion euro funding comes from the EU and their associated states which China isn’t. So the only funding China gave is to support the Chinese side of the joint collaboration project.

But is TikTok being sold, have you checked?
It's already confirmed China will always control the algorithm, it's export controlled will never be up for discussion.
US only buys the right to censor content for US users and only US users.
And even that hasn't happened yet lol

Only part of TikTok being sold is US operations. Would be easier if people said “TikTok US” instead of calling it TikTok. Because the way some people are talking appears as if the entirety of TikTok was sold when it wasn’t. FT wouldn’t be calling it “TikTok US” and “joint venture” if the entirely of TikTok was being sold. There wouldn’t be an need for an joint venture in that case.
