'I’m Singaporean': TikTok CEO grilled by US Senator repeatedly about ties with China

US senator Tom Cotton repeatedly asked TikTok's Singaporean chief Shou Zi Chew about his ties with China and if he had ever belonged to the Chinese Communist party during a hearing over alleged online harms to children.

It was the first appearance by Chew before lawmakers in the US since March, when the Chinese-owned short video app company faced harsh questions, including some suggesting the app was damaging children's mental health and that user data could be passed on to China's government.
