If it’s not proven, then you are speculating that China does not get the data as well.
That is not how the burden of proof works. I am not the one claiming the data is sent to China, you are. Please provide evidence of that.
I am claiming the data is sent to Singapore, which all evidence points to

which is probably harder and more complicated than just getting it from Tik Tok
Probably not harder. Keeping a multinational social media platform going seems way more complex than buying the info. Which is why the US government does it (it is also a way to skirt the constitution, BTW)

So they have access to the user data from TikTok. Why wouldn’t they are products from that company? Companies split up and organize together to overcome limitations of the system. This is not fan fiction, it is reality how many companies operate.
No, the US goverment claims that. You mistaken this with my opinion. I am just telling the goverment is blocking Tik Tok because they think China is doing this.

You clearly refuse to understand what a subsidiary is, and how that relationship works in regards to local regulations.
Fuck off with your goalpost moving, bad faith, devil’s advocate bullshit. Don’t waste people’s time with bullshit you may or may not believe, ask for evidence, then bail when confronted with it. Don’t be a shitass, be better
