I don't get it. Are you saying that the CCP wouldn't dare compromise TikTok because getting it banned from the U.S. would be a bad outcome?

I'm saying that the Chinese government doesn't allow free expression from any company in China so what they make TikTok do in China is not a good predictor of what they'd make it do outside China. The idea that TikTok is a sinister move by the CCP to infiltrate the US is junk.

Assigning sinister motives to every Chinese company because the CCP might make them do bad things is the Sinophobia I am referring to.

That's not sinophobia, but a correct analysis of how power works in China right now. It's analogous to distrusting LiveJournal's motives because of capture by the Russian state.

I disagree with that analysis.
