"TikTok is a Chinese company that currently is mandated to cooperate with Chinese intelligence services,” Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said in a statement. The Belgian ban is based on a risk analysis by the country’s intelligence services and recommendations by the national cybersecurity center.

          Good thing China would never think to do that to its own citizens and worldwide.

            Got any shred of evidence that Huawei ever spied on people?

            USA is undefeated since 1970s when CIA global surveillance programs started ramping up. And the global Skynet is 5/9/14 Eyes plus Israel and Japan.

            I guess westerners eternally rely on a circular logic loop of projection-based trolling on international level, since that is their only talent. They and their countries are rotten useless mess destined to be like this forever, like hopeless daydreaming romantic hippies smoking weed on streets.
