No that’s ByteDance’s direct ties. TikTok would be indirect. My intention is to get to the bottom of this but it’s constantly just unsourced accusations and conflations.

He left ByteDance 4 years before Project Texas. Even if that was happening then there’s no evidence it’s still happening. But also how is this any different than the US Government telling Facebook it has to share information?

Why would the operation that this company was created to carry out no longer be happening, pray tell?
That’s a lot of assumption for no evidence. You might as well ask how TikTok deals with aliens in Area 51.
You choose to believe the people who built this system know nothing about how it actually works? That there is no evidence?
