China no doubt will not take this lying down but it needed to be done. Trump won't immediately ban TikTok but is ordering the company to divest from Chinese interests. This is a compromise but if they refuse this could be the end of the chinese app in the US. Trump also issued massive sanctions on the Xinjiang paramilitary group XPCC over the horrifying treatment of Uighur Muslims. Americans agree with Trump and many see this as a decisive moment for the president which could help him win reelection in november's election. Democrats on the other hand have had 8 years of favorable treatment with China and many fear that a vote for Biden will return us to the status quo.
