Why does China not allow American Social Media in China ? They obviously see foreign apps as a domestic harm , You don't think it goes the other way too?

The ban is also because of the influence the Chinese Communist Party has over all companies in China. If they wanted TikTok algorithms to push videos that discredit the US government or Promote Trump/Biden, then Bytedance would have to comply. With the popularity of the app here in the US, especially with the impressionable youth, there is a fear that they could be being influenced by a hostile foreign power.
You could say the same thing about Facebook and Twitter/X. While US doesn't have as much control over them they could simply brand dissenting narratives as "disinformation" and demand Facebook and Twitter to remove posts and ban posters.
Despite being Russian owned, Telegram seems to be more neutral by allowing Ukrainian to post pro Ukraine views on them, by comparison Reddit banned most pro Russian views on them.

So not only is he ignoring the young people demanding that he stop sending their tax money to an aggressive foreign government

He wants to ban their favorite app?

This is the thought process of a man who knows he will not live to see the consequences of his actions. He doesn't care if we're mad since he knows he's probably going to die in office if he's re elected.

Now he's trying to be contrary when he supported the ban in 2020

I'm not surprised he signed because he said he would but I am surprised the Senate passed it since they wouldn't even vote on the original one. Should be interesting to see what happens.
They knew it would be tougher to pass that bill by itself.

So they packaged it up with the 95 billion in foreign aid which was definitely getting passed.
Nasty work.
