In a rare move for a Hollywood star, Ashton Kutcher has issued a warning about China, saying Beijing could use TikTok to influence the minds of Americans when it comes to issues like Taiwan and the South China Sea.
Ashton Kutcher made the comments during a recent appearance on “American Optimist,” the YouTube channel run by entrepreneur and investor Joe Lonsdale.
“If I’m China and I want to create a problem in that area of the world, specifically a naval problem in that area of the world, in the South China Sea, I would probably want to utilize TikTok in order to influence the minds of Americans in a anti-U.S. propaganda, anti-Taiwanese propaganda effort in order to make any kind of war from the United States extraordinarily unpopular,” Kutcher said.
Watch below:
TikTok is owned by China’s ByteDance. Last year, then-President Donald Trump sought to ban the social media app unless it was acquired by an American company. But President Joe Biden has taken a lenient attitude toward China and revoked Trump’s proposed ban.
“My sense as a fervent American is that it’s getting extraordinarily dangerous for not just individuals but for the country at large,” Kutcher added.

Next time listen to and support Trump!
Really? Worse than Hollywood? Worse than CNN?
They are already doing that, Ashton.
Have you listened to certain motor mouthed, under-educated pro athletes lately?
Just like Twitter and Facebook and YouTube.
Ash and his dumb wife are communists.
Ya think?
He played a dim witted pretty boy on That 70’s Show
In other words he was a natural. Didn’t need to act at all. Perfect for the role.
Why China and not our own Deep State?
“Ashton Kutcher Warns China Could Use TikTok to Influence Minds of Americans and Push Anti-U.S. Propaganda”
A celeb with common sense? What a wonder!
No excrement Mr Holmes.
How about a little Kudos for him for at least telling a little bit of truth? That is more than 99.9% of his peers do.
And maybe his wife, having spent the first 7 years of her life in a communist country, isn’t as far left as she pretends to be.
Just like Twitter and Facebook and YouTube, plus ABCNNBCBS.
He’s good in “The Ranch”. I think he’s grown up some.
His employment prospects just took a nose dive. Hope he sticks by his guns and doesn’t come out with a gushing apology.
“He’s good in “The Ranch”. I think he’s grown up some.”
Good show.
You mean like American social media companies do?
LOL!
Don’t all major American companies push Anti-US Propaganda?
Coca-Cola, Comcast, AT&T, Microsoft?
Among many?
I understand he's a black belt in BJJ. He may be a "pretty boy" but he has some cred, even if he is a leftist.
