@@ibot2157 , MNCs are international businesses, so different people in different countries work on data from multiple countries. Normally there are data administrators ( not to be confused with database administrators ) who set company policy on data handling. Someone, let's say in India, would have to work on the data of US customers, but the policy states that the data is only used for very specific purposes, for example, troubleshooting. If the employee uses it for something else, for example, research, it is not allowed, and employees can get fired for violating data policy. So strong MNCs need a strong data policy, not just because of privacy, but because data is basically the lifeblood of compabies today. America was the one who pioneered offshoring IT operations to India, so yes, as an example, almost every American company hands over local data to other countries ( or any other country it operates in ) But somehow when it comes to China, it suddenly becomes a security issue and everyone of Chinese ethnicity suddenly becomes a spy for the CCP. Just like the way republicans handled researchers in US universities.

Speaks volumes about his calibre or the lack of it.
The wumao trolls were just trying to accuse Crenshaw of confusing Chew's nationality which was not. What Crenshaw meant was Chinese employees based in China.
The "'I'm Singaporean" response is a non-answer. The quote in the question says, "Any citizen or organization..." To the extent that ByteDance is an organization headquartered in Beijing, with key employees and CEO in China, Mr Chew's citizenship is of some relevance but is insufficient as a response.
Does anyone mention the US has a PATRIOT act, I quote: “The act expanded the powers of law enforcement agencies to gather intelligence, conduct surveillance, and share information from civilians.” Should all other country ban American companies? Based on his logic?
@@henrikbergman4055 well it originally referred to red haired people (apparently the Dutch). And since Asians don’t generally have red hair, we call Europeans Ang moh. I mean, who else has red hair? After all, the Dutch had a big impact on the history or maritime south east Asia.

Most importantly, he mentioned, "Your Tiktok employees that live in China.......that would include you." Is he sure there are no Americans working in ByteDance ? Furthermore, people for ByteDance or live in China don't imply that they are citizens. Otherwise, those Mexican refugees in the US should have the right to vote and share the social welfare with the Americans.
I bet there are indians working in Tencent . It doesn’t change anything . Yes there are americans in chinese companies probably, probably wouldn’t be allowed in governed whereas in the US that wouldn’t be even a problem.
People living in a host country obeys that country's laws whilst in its jurisdiction. America treats companies just like people. The problem is some countries use threats and power to unfairly apply jurisdictional overreach. Like how china threatened airlines that list Taiwan as a separate country on a website OUTSIDE China, how the CCP targets people who live OUTSIDE China, and how the IRS targets banks to report on US citizen data OUTSIDE America.
"Any company shall assist in state intelligence law and maintain the secrecy of all intelligence work" doesnt this apply to all countries? Why does the US congress make it seem only China does it?
this is ccp it’s different, even billionaires in china can get detained by the government, everyone need to bow down and cooperate in china , not really like in usa
@@monotheist.. , billionaires do get arrested outside USA and extradited. Ask the president of Honduras. Australian citizen Assange is arrested and facing extradition to the US for exposing US military mistakes. China is also copying the US, trying to goad people who is wanted in China who fleed abroad. The thing about Chinese law and due process is it is still not as developed as the western legal system, so China's laws isn't aa fair. That's why China is losing to these political hearings.
@@thepowerfulkiller8474 , well billionaores wage billionaire wars. If you wage war against an opponent, that opponent will wage war back on you. Would you say guantanamo detainees had their arrests announced and planned in advance? Russia didn't announce their invasion either. So the question is, if this is America already waging a secret war, because it sure doesn't look like competition when congress uses tiktok as an excuse to build the great firewall of America. In a sense America has already lost to China because it is now copying what China is doing with data privacy and data protection. "Guarding against foreign influence" is exactly how the Hong Kong national security law has been implemented and enforced on the population. The world seems to have turned backwards, not forwards in terms of people's freedoms, and the billionaire republicans are loving it.
@@thepowerfulkiller8474 Well, the difference is the US does it with trump up charges, how many Taiwanese businessmen were detained by the US in US? Some of them are actually leaders in semi conductor industry. We have even seen US using its anti corruption law outside of its legal boundary to arrest foreign nationals in foreign countries then send them to the US, jail them, force sale of their companies at low price to the US companies.
I think he is asking a good question. Do Chiew China colleagues have the obligation to disclose any company secrets if the Chinese government asks for? And that is a reasonable concern.
As much as you dislike him but I think it's pretty disrespectful because he lost his eye while he's in the Navy SEAL. That's sigma but yeah that question is dumb lol
I don't see what has him being a Singaporean got to do with anything...he's employed by Byte Dance, a government-sanctioned company of the CCP. He still answers to Byte Dance, and by extension the CCP. He wouldn't be appointed the CEO if he doesn't submit to his company which again by extension the CCP
It just means companies always obey the law of their host country. And congress already knows that, so it's just political theater because they ready decided to ban tiktok. Making it as if ByteDance, and not the CCP, is at fault. This way other American tech companies will have less conpetitors.
Nothing about American standard. Just globalisation. We have children gg to china for studying too. It depends on what their interest are. We have some westerns studying at NUS too.
I don't think Standford has any standards because it doesn't exist 😁 Besides Crenshaw is a career politician ex Harvard master on public adminiatration. So he has no idea about actual on the ground cybersecurity and data protection standards and strategies that have evolved immensely over the last decade.
The senator is not wrong. China has pure dominance over any company that has an office based in China. Think what he should’ve asked is if there is a Chinese wall to segregate data between Chinese consumers vs non-Chinese consumers - most US companies have this built to prevent China from taking sensitive data.
Considering the performance just past, it's important for Mr. Chew to clarify his nationality first at that moment of time. Otherwise, he might get interrogated harder and harder.
What has nationality got to do with loyalty to CCP Mr Chew ? Even American citizens were caught in the past spying for the CCP ! And yes, you are Singaporean, but you are ethnic Chinese. That's how the Committee looked at you.
you are contradicting yourself, if americans are also caught for spying for the CCP then nationality or race has nothing to do with loyalty to the CCP. its the person's integrity and the benefits of doing so
@Irone that's exactly my point !, Why would Mr Chew even mention that he was a Singaporean, which was totally irrelevant, when questioned about CCP's influence over him ??! As if to give the silly impression that he would not be influenced by CCP just because he was a Singaporean ?? Anyway, that's not the only irrelevant answers he gave throughout the hearings. Dodging a Yes and No question would just make him look dumb. Did he really think that the Committe had not gone through all the facts and evidence against tik tok before the hearing ?
@@CLXH You implying him as a Chinese hence a CCP loyalist is what Contradicts your claim that nationality and race has nothing to do with being controlled by the CCP. Mr Chew's first clarification on his nationality proves exactly the opposite because he is bound to Singapore's law first and foremost, thereafter the company rules and not CCP's. You are insulting Singapore's authority as if to say Singapore laws does not apply to Singaporean who works in foreign company. Stop making yourself sounds dumb.
If that is how the Committee looked at foreigners working in China companies, they should ban their own citizens from working in any China companies too because they will automatically be CCP loyalists and spies. There are a bunch of "Chinese" immigrants in the US so maybe they should be banned and deported too. lmao
Why india banned tiktok as Chinese threat if you are Singaporean Your nationality doesn't matter from where your employees work is that matter . True caller operative from india but main headquarters are in Europe .

Intelligence Work Can Be Conducted Outside China and Towards Foreigners-According to the Draft, Agencies can conduct intelligence work both within and outside PRC (Article 9). In particular, "foreign institutions, organizations, and individuals may be subject to legal liabilities if their conduct within PRC is detrimental to the national security and interests of PRC (Article 11)." This empowers Chinese intelligence agencies to exercise their functions in situations concerning Chinese citizens, enterprises, and organizations, but also in situations concerning foreign individuals and entities whose conduct is considered harmful to China's national security and interests.

It’s not about where that CEO is from, he could be an American for all that matter. The problem is TIktok is Chinese based company and congressman does have a valid question for once
Why is there so many posters arguing it is a valid question when it is very obviously a loaded questuon? A valid question tries to be impartial. Crensshaw is a republican politician edicated in propaganda, not ethical journalism. Stwphem Colbert would probably get more out of interviewing Chew than Crenshaw ever could spreading false narratives about tiktok.
😱 so the grilling was all a veiled castigation to Singapore? Never thought of it, but wouldn't be surprising given how the republican campaign is all about getting the racist vote.
Lol so what if he’s Singaporean? The question is whether TikTok had to submit to the CCP. It doesn’t matter whether the CEO is Singaporean. But then again, even if that happened, it’s bound by secrecy, so asking the question will yield no answer. The question is lame, the answer is pointless and people pointing out that he’s Singaporean completely missed the point.
The Singapore and Chinese government have an agreement between them about their nations defense. Good for Crenshaw! He did exactly what he's been elected to do.

@@badguy7432 , as far as I know tech employees, wherever they're from, follow company policy. Almost nobody in a tech job follows rabid nationalistic fanaticism like trump supporters, so I don't really get the line of questioning. If they're going to complain, why don't they highlight whether any of them worked in state military facilities like what Mandiant described as APT-1. Membership in a political party also doesn't make them spies. That'd be assuming that all registered republicans support trump's insurrection. Oh, wait.... republicans project... 🤯
He thinks Singapore is in China 😂
I present to you, your typical ignoramus politician.
FYI, this Dan Crenshaw is the very same one that criticised David Goggins unfairly and openly but stated that he didn't even read Can't Hurt Me (Goggins first book) and now, he doesn't even know the difference between a Singaporean and a Chinese national.
Speaks volumes about his calibre or the lack of it.
The congressman never mistook him to be chinese or confused nationality and race. This is a stupid soundbyte youre being emotionally manipulated with
The wumao trolls were just trying to accuse Crenshaw of confusing Chew's nationality which was not. What Crenshaw meant was Chinese employees based in China.
The "'I'm Singaporean" response is a non-answer. The quote in the question says, "Any citizen or organization..."
To the extent that ByteDance is an organization headquartered in Beijing, with key employees and CEO in China, Mr Chew's citizenship is of some relevance but is insufficient as a response.
Does anyone mention the US has a PATRIOT act, I quote: “The act expanded the powers of law enforcement agencies to gather intelligence, conduct surveillance, and share information from civilians.” Should all other country ban American companies? Based on his logic?
For a moment i thought this was a scene from a movie.

racist towards asian are normal for ang moh. stop pretending they aint
Tan Boon lee racist towards other Asians is also common in SG.
And 'ang moh' is not a racist expression?
@@henrikbergman4055 well it originally referred to red haired people (apparently the Dutch). And since Asians don’t generally have red hair, we call Europeans Ang moh. I mean, who else has red hair? After all, the Dutch had a big impact on the history or maritime south east Asia. Our ancestors weren’t necessarily literate or well educated, colloquialisms exist so of course we’d say that English is (literal meaning: Ang moh language). It’s the local expressions we use here that make us who we are. Welcome to Malaysian/Singaporean internet
@@Pakiu1306 Thank you for the welcome. I see the expression as just another one in the long line of 'us vs them'. From my experience it's not normal/generally accepted amongst ang mohs to be racist against Asians. There's a crazy amount of ignorance though.
I don’t get this. His name is chinese , how is he supposed to know he’s singaporean? I bet many people outside USA or Europe assume Elon Musk is American .

The congressman is wrong. It's Douyin (Chinese version of Tiktok) who has to comply with data collection by the CPC, not Tiktok. Tiktok is a completely separate app.
The congressman never mistook him to be chinese or confused nationality and race. This is a stupid soundbyte youre being emotionally manipulated with
@@judjudersawn2596 I dont see how your comment has anything to do with mine. Im stating facts, not opinions.
Douyin and TikTok report to ByteDance.
@@orbitalpotato9940 he’s not wrong, all byte dance affiliated entities must comply with CCP including tik tok
@@judjudersawn2596 Well the same applies to the US government so I don't see the issue here. Besides, all the servers are located in the USA so there is no way anyways.
This just continues to how absolutely clueless Dan Crenshaw and the Republicans are when it comes to tech.
To the Americans who dont understand, its the equivalent of someone saying you (similar to the congressman) are an European under European laws/jurisdictions.
If my company was based in Germany, the fact I'm an American couldn't change the fact my company is German.
Do you understand, now? 💀
@@somerandommen American in a German co. Still American unless he applied for dual citizenship. Topic was about citizenship thus the senator asked of what citizenship his family members are too.
America need to work on educating of how race and nationality differs. Not every Asian is from China.
@@somerandommen my black friend’s parents are nigerian, he was born and raised here in America. If a Nigerian scam is happening, should i suspect its him?
Most importantly, he mentioned, "Your Tiktok employees that live in China.......that would include you." Is he sure there are no Americans working in ByteDance ? Furthermore, people for ByteDance or live in China don't imply that they are citizens. Otherwise, those Mexican refugees in the US should have the right to vote and share the social welfare with the Americans.
I bet there are indians working in Tencent . It doesn’t change anything . Yes there are americans in chinese companies probably, probably wouldn’t be allowed in governed whereas in the US that wouldn’t be even a problem.
People living in a host country obeys that country's laws whilst in its jurisdiction. America treats companies just like people. The problem is some countries use threats and power to unfairly apply jurisdictional overreach. Like how china threatened airlines that list Taiwan as a separate country on a website OUTSIDE China, how the CCP targets people who live OUTSIDE China, and how the IRS targets banks to report on US citizen data OUTSIDE America.
Of all eyepatches to pick, he picked the most villainous looking one.. well suited

"Any company shall assist in state intelligence law and maintain the secrecy of all intelligence work" doesnt this apply to all countries? Why does the US congress make it seem only China does it?
this is ccp it’s different, even billionaires in china can get detained by the government, everyone need to bow down and cooperate in china , not really like in usa
@@monotheist.. , billionaires do get arrested outside USA and extradited. Ask the president of Honduras. Australian citizen Assange is arrested and facing extradition to the US for exposing US military mistakes. China is also copying the US, trying to goad people who is wanted in China who fleed abroad. The thing about Chinese law and due process is it is still not as developed as the western legal system, so China's laws isn't aa fair. That's why China is losing to these political hearings.
@@asleepawake3645well the difference is ccp does it out of a sudden and the media usually reports the concerned individual as “missing”
@@thepowerfulkiller8474 , well billionaores wage billionaire wars. If you wage war against an opponent, that opponent will wage war back on you. Would you say guantanamo detainees had their arrests announced and planned in advance? Russia didn't announce their invasion either. So the question is, if this is America already waging a secret war, because it sure doesn't look like competition when congress uses tiktok as an excuse to build the great firewall of America. In a sense America has already lost to China because it is now copying what China is doing with data privacy and data protection. "Guarding against foreign influence" is exactly how the Hong Kong national security law has been implemented and enforced on the population. The world seems to have turned backwards, not forwards in terms of people's freedoms, and the billionaire republicans are loving it.
@@thepowerfulkiller8474 Well, the difference is the US does it with trump up charges, how many Taiwanese businessmen were detained by the US in US? Some of them are actually leaders in semi conductor industry. We have even seen US using its anti corruption law outside of its legal boundary to arrest foreign nationals in foreign countries then send them to the US, jail them, force sale of their companies at low price to the US companies.

And that is a reasonable concern.

@@nickryan6787 , he's a republican, being respectful or reapecting others is not in their DNA. Look at what they said about Biden, Obama and Hillary.

I don't see what has him being a Singaporean got to do with anything...he's employed by Byte Dance, a government-sanctioned company of the CCP. He still answers to Byte Dance, and by extension the CCP. He wouldn't be appointed the CEO if he doesn't submit to his company which again by extension the CCP
It just means companies always obey the law of their host country. And congress already knows that, so it's just political theater because they ready decided to ban tiktok. Making it as if ByteDance, and not the CCP, is at fault. This way other American tech companies will have less conpetitors.
He had such great argument, with an actually good concern. It’s too bad he missed the most obvious information before doing all that other research
That’s not going to stop them pal.

@@alexwong9999 How about CCP? Saint right?
I don't think Standford has any standards because it doesn't exist 😁 Besides Crenshaw is a career politician ex Harvard master on public adminiatration. So he has no idea about actual on the ground cybersecurity and data protection standards and strategies that have evolved immensely over the last decade.
@@asleepawake3645he also was a navy seal and lost his eye in a battlefield thus the eye patch
The senator is not wrong. China has pure dominance over any company that has an office based in China. Think what he should’ve asked is if there is a Chinese wall to segregate data between Chinese consumers vs non-Chinese consumers - most US companies have this built to prevent China from taking sensitive data.
Read out the actual Chinese law
Considering the performance just past, it's important for Mr. Chew to clarify his nationality first at that moment of time. Otherwise, he might get interrogated harder and harder.
He's asking about his employees in China if they will abide to CCP rules saying he's a Singaporean, that's not the matter
You’re Singaporean, oh okay, never mind. China would never have assets working for them from other nations.

TBH this guy's question was very valid. Whether or not CEO is Singaporean has nothing to do with the question.
What was the rest of the answer though? It is an interesting question
What has nationality got to do with loyalty to CCP Mr Chew ? Even American citizens were caught in the past spying for the CCP ! And yes, you are Singaporean, but you are ethnic Chinese. That's how the Committee looked at you.
Plenty...it will not go unpenalised in Singapore if you are a Chinese spy? Are foreigners working for US companies spies ?!😊
you are contradicting yourself, if americans are also caught for spying for the CCP then nationality or race has nothing to do with loyalty to the CCP. its the person's integrity and the benefits of doing so
@Irone that's exactly my point !, Why would Mr Chew even mention that he was a Singaporean, which was totally irrelevant, when questioned about CCP's influence over him ??! As if to give the silly impression that he would not be influenced by CCP just because he was a Singaporean ?? Anyway, that's not the only irrelevant answers he gave throughout the hearings. Dodging a Yes and No question would just make him look dumb. Did he really think that the Committe had not gone through all the facts and evidence against tik tok before the hearing ?
@@CLXH You implying him as a Chinese hence a CCP loyalist is what Contradicts your claim that nationality and race has nothing to do with being controlled by the CCP. Mr Chew's first clarification on his nationality proves exactly the opposite because he is bound to Singapore's law first and foremost, thereafter the company rules and not CCP's. You are insulting Singapore's authority as if to say Singapore laws does not apply to Singaporean who works in foreign company. Stop making yourself sounds dumb.
If that is how the Committee looked at foreigners working in China companies, they should ban their own citizens from working in any China companies too because they will automatically be CCP loyalists and spies. There are a bunch of "Chinese" immigrants in the US so maybe they should be banned and deported too. lmao
It doesn’t matter he’s Singaporean, if the company is based in China it has to abide by Chinese laws, this is clickbait
These are valid questions
Why india banned tiktok as Chinese threat if you are Singaporean

Intelligence Work Can Be Conducted Outside China and Towards Foreigners-According to the Draft, Agencies can conduct intelligence work both within and outside PRC (Article 9). In particular, "foreign institutions, organizations, and individuals may be subject to legal liabilities if their conduct within PRC is detrimental to the national security and interests of PRC (Article 11)." This empowers Chinese intelligence agencies to exercise their functions in situations concerning Chinese citizens, enterprises, and organizations, but also in situations concerning foreign individuals and entities whose conduct is considered harmful to China's national security and interests.

It’s not about where that CEO is from, he could be an American for all that matter. The problem is TIktok is Chinese based company and congressman does have a valid question for once
Yes, they are required, they say they aren't but they very clearly are
People misunderstood it very well he asked does he shares the data with ccp and he replied he is a Singaporean he just avoided the questions
He never said he was Chinese and that’s actually a pretty valid question to ask
but he did mention in the end that "this include you" to mr chew?
Why is there so many posters arguing it is a valid question when it is very obviously a loaded questuon? A valid question tries to be impartial. Crensshaw is a republican politician edicated in propaganda, not ethical journalism. Stwphem Colbert would probably get more out of interviewing Chew than Crenshaw ever could spreading false narratives about tiktok.

Lol so what if he’s Singaporean? The question is whether TikTok had to submit to the CCP. It doesn’t matter whether the CEO is Singaporean. But then again, even if that happened, it’s bound by secrecy, so asking the question will yield no answer.
The question is lame, the answer is pointless and people pointing out that he’s Singaporean completely missed the point.
