  1. She can't even pronounce Tik Tok properly.

  2. I admire Chew's Emotional Intelligence, in handling these aggressive tactics and questions with grace and eloquence.

  3. This is like a gangster vs CEO. Please only say yes or no

  4. What's wrong with US banning Tiktok? China has been banning western tech for ages like Google and no one says anything.

  5. Chew is like Hollywood Jews got persecuted in the 50's, grill by the congress inquisitors dummies. Every time yes or no type of questions would bring him liabilities of him being a communist sympathisers.

  6. Did they consider Fb, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube??

  7. I'm not gonna suprise if supporters of tiktok protest 😂 they have to choose if they will ban it or sell it to US or change owner of app company…

  8. Jesus, maybe she would have a better time asking the questions if she did her own research and wasn't prompted by someone else beforehand.

  9. Did they question FB, Google and Apple about data on other country's users' privacy?? What a bunch of warmongers.

  10. The lady can't speak clear & loud… is there a sugar in her mouth?

  11. just get up, save your breath, and raise your middle finger to all of them…. then go home

  12. China aslo should do this to the CEO of Apple, Tesla and any others from US.

  13. I actually feel more confident by this CEO's testimony. Shou Chew seems more straight forward and honest than Zuckerberg and other American CEOs. I think it is unfortunate that Tik Tok is Chinese given that the Chinese government has turned so badly to the dark side. But as an individual company….. he seems way more hornourable than Facebook and Google.

  14. This is not hearing, this is asking you to commit guilty. Is this USA with always promote democracy?????

  15. The only crime…..tied to Chinese Communist Party….but then what in China is not tied to CCP…

  16. Is it really that hard to say “gps”?

  17. These government folks shouldn't be in tech. They have no idea what they are asking.

  18. One person vs a ton of politicians. I salute the CEO.

  19. Looks like a bunch old white bigots trying to cause a fire when there are none

  20. No not my tic toc 😢😢😢no
