YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

There’s at least one thing Democrats and Republicans in Washington have in common: suspicions about TikTok’s ties to China. The Biden administration and members of congress from both parties are urging the social media platform’s Beijing-based parent company, ByteDance Ltd., to sell its stake in TikTok or risk being banned in the US.

Sound familiar? That’s because two and a half years ago, former President Trump sent a very similar warning that ultimately went nowhere.

Bloomberg reporters Alex Barinka () and Anna Edgerton () join this episode to talk about this latest chapter in the standoff between the US government and TikTok. Plus, what a congressional hearing with TikTok’s CEO revealed about national security concerns surrounding the app.
