It's all pretend. The US government already controls TikTok. The targeting of TikTok only serves to further entrench the anti-China narrative pushed by the ruling class to manufacture consent for war.

Nope we watched them take HK.

We remember Tiananmen Square.

A colony returned to its rightful historical people.

A student protest movement coopted by foreign capitalists which led to police being killed.

An island which has always been closely linked to the mainland.

If you're interested in what empire actually is, please read about imperialism and not the latest western capitalist creation.
