Except we do have that power. There's reasonable national security risk, and your lack of understanding of the dynamics involved doesn't make them nebulous to others.

In any case, if you don't like it, vote with your life choices. If it's not that important, well.. ..it's not that important.

You know nobody has yet to actually say what the risk is. Just that China is evil and therefore a risk. There's some overblown stuff about them pushing cancel culture but that's not a national security risk.

If it's not nebulous then tell me, how are they getting our nuclear codes with a social media app they don't directly control?

And again. No. We have rights in the US. Unless you guys go giving them away because you're afraid you might see a Chinese video.
