It’s a one sided hearing. The questioning, questions, body language, rudeness, and the way they stuff words into him shows how rude and racist these congress people are…

[momokui]

1980. Toshiba
2013. Alston
2020. Huawei
2023. TikTok
Any company growing stronger and better than US would be labeled as a "threat to national security" and would be destroyed.

Never expect such kind of rudeness in a congressman!!! On the contrary, Mr. Chew kept his cool so well 👍👍🇸🇬

[riddlechallenge]

Whatever he said doesn't matter since they already decided to ban

[rpishyao]

I can't understand why this congressman keeps interrupting the conversation.
Just like some reporters mislead interviewers to say what they want others to say.
That's not only rude but horrible.

[zmrinrf]

Never see a room full of karen's like this😂

[thomasiee_]

He just kept talking over him and he's representing TikTok very well

[hatilee]

Why does America always need to maintain her position as superpower? Any country can raise and any country can fall.

[KM-kygj]

US representatives questioning Chew were so ill-informed and had no idea what they were talking about. Do any of them even HAVE a social media account they can successfully navigate better than their grandchildren 😂

[jefferyschic]

That's like saying Twitter represents the USA. I'd be the first to deny such

[beatricel]

They are going round and round about the same question and putting words into his

[JiuXuz]

As a global company, it is necessary for employees to access data to optimize their procedures, even if they are employees in China, and the US Congress has been vague about this point, and has been talking about CCP. Even if the CEO of TIOTOK says that there will be no transaction with any Chinese government office, the US Congress just wants to impose this accusation on Chew

[xiaoyang]

Law maker: You steal data. Tik Tok CEO: No we do not. Law maker: Yes you do. Tik Tok CEO: No we do not. Law Maker: Yes you do. And it loops

[daveinthailand]

"TicTok collect personal data" 😆 🤣 😂
Im so pleased the US dont do that and dont track your searches and monitor you every second of the day
The US complain about china's balloon whilst the the US have high Res satellites taking pictures of every country and no country complains 😆 🤣 😂
Can anyony see the irony here

[awesomelord]

i love 03:17 when chew didnt even realise he can finally answer He got used to being ignored hahahahahaah

[tai]

Tik Tok CEO: we will not be influenced by any government
US government: If that’s the case, we will have to ban Tik Tok

[Caramay]

Why do they want Singaporean to speak or to make an opinion on behave of Chinese government? Do these people know where is Singapore on the map? I really feel sorry for this CEO.

[isaactzh]

Congress made the TikTok ceo come down for an answer and what ended up was him, sitting there and stare at congress ranting and answering their own questions. Like what a waste of time.

[whiteknuckles]

This congressman must be an in-bred. Byte Dance is a Chinese company that owns TikTok. Any sale of a Chinese company must be approved by the Chinese government. It is no different the sale of Google must be approved by the US government.

[chungwayne]

Finally I saw how the American congress men doing their work, very impressive 😅 so that is the so called American freedom ?
