Shou Chew, the CEO of TikTok, is getting ready to inform Congress that there are numerous “misconceptions” about the app and that banning it will hurt the American economy. Additionally, he intends to inform Congressmen that worries about ByteDance’s parent firm and its connections to China are unwarranted.
Before the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s hearing on TikTok on Thursday, Chew makes the following clear: “Let me state this unequivocally: ByteDance is not an agent of China or any other country.” The hearing, which will be Chew’s first appearance before Congress, takes place just as the company’s stakes are at an all-time high.
