Yanis Varoufakis was recently saying some interesting stuff about TikTok. Basically TikTok is a way for a Chinese company to generate data capital in a way that cant be taxed or restricted in ports, and that drives US capital crazy.

He also connected it with the Huawei ban- basically the US is terrified of China’s free universal digital banking, because it could threaten to unseat the dollar as the international trade currency.
