Information collected through ubiquitous video app TikTok might enable the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to undermine the U.S. economy, warns David Stilwell, former assistant Secretary of State for East Asia and the Pacific.
He said that if Americans’ purchasing preferences or information is revealed to TikTok, which would mean that it can be accessed by the CCP, the Chinese regime then can use that as leverage to “withhold those supply chain information ... or the difficulty we had with supply chains,” he said on “China in Focus” on NTD, a sister media outlet of the Epoch Times.
