China allows zero foreign-owned social media apps in China. Even Google, etc... is generally banned in China. the CCP strictly enforces the Great Firewall of China - the CCP has total control over all media and internet
Not that we want to copy China - but since that's how they operate, it won't be a surprise to them, and US should apply maximum leverage.
