Honesty our media should not be tampered With interphereing With freedom of speech

Trump fabricated this TikTok WeChat saga in an effort to deceive the American public and redirect attention away from his illegal tax returns, Covid-19 incompetence, and billions of dollars in tax breaks for pass through entities like his own family business.

Before the president election, Please peacefully unification Korea regardless of the time of the president election. The US-Japan Security Treaty does not concern the US president election. 70 missiles have already attacked the Sea of ​​Japan.

What distinguishes Trump from Biden? China will threaten Trump. They won't have to threaten Biden because he will sell us out to them.

So...one country is upset another country won’t allow an app it uses to spy to be used anymore? That same country doesn’t allow any apps from other countries to be used? Yeah!😂 Sounds like a legitimate complaint! “You have to let us make money off your citizens and spy.”👌

Why are you advocating for China ? Aren’t you the American Broadcasting Company ?

Why I hate China so much is that they hate other countries app or sites but want other countries to use their app madness

trump shows China how 'Murika' does governmenting. I hope China pulls the rug out. POLITICIANS in charge is obviously wrong. They can't take care of the 30 million Americans they forced into unemployment. $600÷40hrs=$15per hour. I hope China invades. Revolution2020

The globe wants to thank China for the covid-19

He just needs to concentrate on this freaking pandemic. Yes you, potus. Please for God's sake do something realDonaldTrump

So odd how American media does the bidding of Chinese communists. It would be like media of 1940 covering for Hitler.

Trump, the entire US federal government, they are basically the same.

Thank God President Trump is the only President in recent times to stand up to the Chicom’s treachery, manipulation, bold face lies, human rights violations and internment/re-education camps. Mao, Soviets and Hitler in same boat. Religious persecution just tip of the horror.

Nothing special here. Trump can proceed with the ban. It’s just like WhatsApp or Facebook is banned here in China, even though they are critical tools for some foreigners to communicate with their families 🤷🏾‍♂️
