Excuse me, but I have a hard time seeing how is these two events are related?
So in your analogy then Britain is the now China, and now U.S. is the then China? And TikTok is the opium released by China? Hence TikTok should be banned, if U.S. have the power to do so?
fair, thanks for explaining.
Unless they're implying that Chinese software will fail and bow down to "western software", I'm not seeing a link either.
Social media addiction is not quite the same thing as opium addiction
I think you're really misevaluating the (non)equivalence between how you're crippled as an organism by opium addiction vs just having your attention fucked up by tiktok
