It's valuable, it's not as valuable as the entire rest of the world combined. The US simply doesn't have the user share to demand the service be sold off.

Please read the output of your LLMs if you're going to use them, you said:

Well, the American one doesn't have an incentive to turn its own people against its own government with propaganda. As is happening with Tiktok and pushing pro-CCP and anti-American content.

It's simply not. It's allowing Americans to speak freely on America without government interference.

When was the last time the Dems did?

All of that non sequitur is great, but the fact is no foreign country needs to do anything to make Americans hate their government. Nothing. Except provide a platform that allows free speech.

That's all Tiktok is.

Except homeownership rates, poverty rates, homelessness, illiteracy, class mobility, workers rights, prisoners prisoners per capita...

The US is one of the worst countries given it's comical amount of wealth, usually coming in at rank 40 or lower by pretty much any stat you choose... Except gross GDP, the number of prisoners, the number of proper capita, the number of slaves working for private corporations, and maternal mortality rates. That's where the US excels that China simple can't compete in, arresting people, forcing them to work for profit for companies, and killing women in child birth.

The US is a tiny market compared to the rest of users, why would they ever sell?

You want to know how to turn an American against the US government? Tell them, without exaggeration, what their government is doing to them; and tell them, without exaggeration, what other governments do for their citizens.

It's that simple. No lies needed. No american with an IQ above a glass of undrinkable tap water likes their government or thinks their country is worth anything.

Well luckily the straw man you're assigning to China only exists in your head.

They've eliminated extreme poverty and are on track to eliminate poverty. Given even the poorest citizens don't worry about rent or medical bills or food costs, their poverty looks incredibly different to that in the US.
