While the US Congress recently introduced a bill to ban TikTok, a Chinese SNS, the CEO of TikTok called and held a hearing.
No matter what it should be, the Chinese Communist Party was behind TikTok and drove the CEO, and the US government also revealed that TikTok is a clear security threat.

At the same time as the TikTok hearing began, opposition lawmakers poured intense fire on the CEO of Chu Shows.
The point is that TikTok and the Chinese Communist Party are more or less one body.

CEO Chu, an ethnic Chinese from Singapore, denied that he did not provide information to the Chinese government.
US user data is controlled by Americans on American soil, denying the theory of Chinese Communist Party involvement.

Despite the CEO’s explanation, lawmakers continued to criticize the explanation for protecting personal information, saying they could not understand it.

[안나 에슈 / 미 하원 민주당 의원 : 제가 볼 때 그 주장은 터무니없습니다]
However, it has been confirmed that some information is still available outside of China, including China.

[추쇼우즈 / 틱톡 CEO : 텍사스 프로젝트가 완성되면 접근하지 못합니다. 아직은 일부 접근 가능한 데이터가 남아있긴 합니다.]
US Secretary of State Tony Blincoln, who appeared before the House Foreign Relations Committee, also expressed his position that TikTok should somehow be banned, saying he believes it is a security threat.
However, American media, including CNN, predict that it will not be easy to ban the use of TikTok, saying that neither Congress nor the government has been able to present evidence that TikTok has transferred data to the Chinese government.
