The House on Wednesday passed a bill with broad bipartisan support that would force TikTok’s Chinese owner to either sell the hugely popular video app or be banned in the United States.
Republican leaders fast-tracked the bill through the House with limited debate, and it passed on a lopsided vote of 352-65, reflecting widespread backing for legislation that would take direct aim at China in an election year.

The legality of foreign ownership should absolutely be bilateral. I don’t get why this wasn’t the policy from the start.
Because that’s “communism”. America has gone after countless countries for preventing foreign ownership of goods and services.
