I cannot get over a Chinese influenced company trying to use the Constitution in their lawsuit. Irony is dead😂

[colgategilbert]

Thanks Tony. TikTok's suite ignores the elephant in the room. 1, it is a foreign owned media company in violation of US law. 2, the US gave them the option to be bought by a US company, not a draconian shut down. That is not a free speech violation.

[nigelgarrett]

Thank you for showing the names of those people who support you.

[Toothnut_Hamsterfolder]

Thank you so much, Tony! The work you're doing is very important to the future.

That green suit/overcoat mashup is hard on the eyes

[kateryan]

Well-deserved. Let's all further help the Chinese out by reducing any Made-in-China purchases whenever humanly possible.

[pearlyung]

China always speaks with forked tongue.

[jaydee]

Thank you, Tony.

Hope your week is outstanding!

As Churchill once said of the Italians.... it's the Germans time to have them. We had them last time.

[nicholasrockall]

Let's not forget, that Italy also cosied up to Germany in the 1930s.

Thank you Tony, as one of a few laowai left here I will say this, my job has got so hard I truly do not know If I can stay. They cut my salary by 30% and I have increased work load. Huge in-fact. I am a professional teacher but the leader is just a business women. No education teaching ability at all. I do not feel safe here, and finally I am giving up. It is very sad. Normal people do not want this shit. They just want a home and a teal life.

There’s a slang in Chinese saying “if you’re are shameless, you’re invincible”, and in the case of China Foreign Ministry, “it is absolutely shameless, and it is positively unbelievable” 😂😂😂

[davidbiddle]

Based on past experience with Chinese Electronics, and their dependability issues, I would never trust a Chinese built EV to be safe, or have any dependability or longevity!

I wonder how Italy's car makers will fare if Chinese cars enter the Italian market in volume and how it will affect other European manufacturers.

[taiwanisacountry]

Multiple parties saying that the PRC are misrepresenting or lying about the reality of diplomatic situations are a huge loss of face for the CCP.

[BRUCE_the_MOOSE_]

Pooh is greedy and always on the hunt for more honey

[MrToubrouk]

It's just me or the CCP believes the Europeans can't read and write mandarin?

[volvowithlazers]

The body language of the Italian leader was interesting her arms were crossed protecting her heart. Problematic relations to be sure.
Now the apparent softening with the Philippines perhaps the ccp is reading the hand writing on the wall we shall see

[miketan]

It's weird when some folks in PH still think they can negotiate with CN

TikToc is just wrong. Banning TicToc would NOT silence 170 million voices! Those 170M voices would just use any number of other Social Media platforms instead-like they did BEFORE TikToc came onto the scene! This is exactly why the First Amendment does NOT apply in this case! Most Content creators still have other Social Media platforms that they post the same content on.
