This is such a bad take.
First of all the US is not TikTok's largest market, it's Indonesia.
Second of all, it is absolutely a rational decision: it's a good old shakedown, the US is effectively trying to steal the only major social network it doesn't own. China isn't a meek vassal state, it will obviously fight this and protect its own companies.
Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot and China told say Tesla, which business is huge in China: "either you 'divest from US imperialism' and sell the company to us or we ban you". According to you the "rational" thing to do for Tesla would be to submit and sell itself to the Chinese? Do you realize how half-witted you sound?
Those lacking rationality in this whole story are the US government and people like you who believe this is all normal behavior. It's not, it's thuggish and will absolutely backfire.
No. The government of China does not allow

in their sovereign country.
Zuckerberg would have been on his knees, complying; if he was allowed!
A privileged WHITE man like @elonmusk will NEVER comprehend the HARSH racial imbalances in America!
Musk was born in apartheid South Africa where the privileged White MINORITY National Party government legislated rules to benefit Whites ONLY.
And I hope the White Supremacists and the Far Right Brigade in USA; who claim to be Christian or opine " God First" get the revelation that Non Caucasians are human too.
I am South African and am grateful apartheid was abolished!

So did Thomas Markle ever get his money from lady C ?And how do derangers feel about the fact that they gave money to a man they thought was so sickly he couldn't leave his house only for him to fuck off to the far east? ๐๐๐๐
The peaceful transfer of power is the hallmark of our democracy and today, members of both parties in the House and Senate along with the vice president certified the election of our new president and vice president without controversy or objection.
I welcome the return of order and civility to these historic proceedings and offer my most sincere congratulations and prayers to President Donald J. Trump and Vice President J. D. Vance on their election to lead this great Nation.
I also commend the members of the House, Senate and the Vice President who did their duty under the Constitution of the United States, it being particularly admirable that Vice President Harris would preside over the certification of a presidential election that she lost.
God bless our new President and Vice President and their families and may God continue to bless the United States of America.
Mars' Valles Marineris - A Giant of Solar System Canyons
This is an impressive canyon system on Mars, located to the east of the Tharsis region. It is over 4,000 km long, up to 200 km wide, and up to 7 km deep. This makes it one of the largest such structures in the Solar System.
This massive fault was formed as a result of tectonic processes associated with the rise of the Tharsis region. Its size is so large that the length of Valles Marineris is comparable to the distance from Moscow to Lisbon.
