lol are you really suggesting that China, out of the goodness of their hearts, made TikTok with the objective to give Americans “better” trash social media sites?
Yes. Because the US forgot what soft power and actual nationalism entails. China didn't.
Its not out of goodwill, but the objective of "don't be ad ridden slop maximizing shareholder gain" was a bar you didn't even need to step over
No, of course not. They're simply more competent.
