It's not a ban. It's a forced sale.

China is ruthlessly engaging in massive online espionage and data collection. TikTok says they are unconnected, but even they (US operators) might not know how compromised they could be.

tRump is the one playing checkers. He now is squeezed between his anti-China rhetoric, maga hate of China, and TikTok partisans (who are numerous).
