Documents Reveal TikTok Required 138 Employees, Including American Executive, to Support China's Socialist System
Jan 14, 2025, 10:57 PM
Recent documents and recordings have revealed that TikTok, owned by ByteDance, has required its employees, including an American executive, to sign oaths supporting China's 'socialist system' and its national interests. This practice raises concerns about the platform's independence and its ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Reports indicate that at least 138 ByteDance employees, including the chief editor, are members of a CCP committee embedded within the company. Experts argue that the sale of TikTok hinges not on the platform itself, but on control over its algorithms, which are viewed as a national security risk due to their management by ByteDance and the CCP.
