TikTok, ByteDance Poured $13.4M Into US Lobbying | China in Focus
A massive #lobbying budget. To the tune of over 13 million dollars. #TikTok and its Chinese parent company are trying to reassure U.S. lawmakers and officials, as accusations fly that the app poses a major security risk. At the heart of those fears—the Chinese Communist Party getting a hold of American user data. That’s as the wildly popular social media and its 150 million regular U.S. users stare down the barrel at a potential nationwide ban.
Will that lobbying have any effect? Or are TikTok’s days numbered in America?
What do you think?
