China Expert: China Is Using TikTok To Promote Violence, Glorify Drug Use In Attempt To Ruin United States

During an interview with Fox News host Jason Chaffetz, Gordon Chang, a senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute and author of “The Great U.S. China Tech War,” said that China is using TikTok to disseminate Chinese propaganda and increase polarization in the United States in an attempt to weaken the U.S. government.

Chang began by addressing China’s claims that it has legitimate concerns that it wants the United States to take seriously. 

“Well, first of all, China doesn’t have legitimate concerns. It’s not a legitimate state,” Chang said. “And we should stop treating it as such, because as you say, it is committing genocide, crimes against humanity, it deliberately spread COVID-19 beyond its borders — that 6.7 million people outside of China who have died from a disease that should have never left the central part of that country. You know, we can go on and on. But clearly, China is engaging in a series of acts which are destructive not only toward the United States, but the international community as a whole.”

Chang went on to discuss a new report that ByteDance, the Chinese parent company of TikTok, spied on multiple U.S. journalists. 

“President Trump banned TikTok along with WeChat,” Chang said. “President Biden, one of the first things he did was he reversed that ban. We know that over a course of years, about three or four of them, TikTok has been making representations to the U.S. about how it doesn’t allow data to be sent to China. And it’s violated every single assurance it’s given to the U.S. But it’s not just stealing data.”

“It is actually more serious that it is using the TikTok algorithm to disseminate Chinese propaganda, glorifying drug use, promoting violence on American streets, and this year, disseminating Russian narratives about the Ukraine war,” he added. “So this really is an attempt to undermine and actually even overthrow the U.S. government. And why we permit it? I don’t know. India banned TikTok, we should do the same thing.”
