    #3. Number 3. The third part. THREE. Learn to read. All three are required conditions.

    The parent company don’t have judicial protections. They’re based in China and are state owned and operated. The US-Based subsidiary isn’t being punished, they’re explicitly allowed to operate if the parent company divests, but are choosing to shut down instead.

          But explicit prohibition on continued operation if they don’t. ByteDance is not affected outside of the US. Only US employees are being threatened.

            Lmao, that’s quite the stretch. The way I see it, US employees AND citizens would be protected from foreign spyware.

            if the XI’s China could stop trying to interfere with the world beyond its border they could also probably stop themselves from being targeted by legislature aimed at protecting citizens of countries outside China.

            ByteDance employees chose to work for a Chinese PsyOp parent company who refuses to sell ByteDance. If anything, those employees are suffering because the CCP were given too many rights and protections for owning a business in the USA.

                The single group of American Citizens are facing no repercussions from the US Government. They’re being thrown under the bus by the Chinese.
