It\u2019s not a legitimate state,\u201d Chang said. \u201cAnd we should stop treating it as such, because as you say, it is committing genocide, crimes against humanity, it deliberately spread COVID-19 beyond its borders \u2014 that 6.7 million people outside of China who have died from a disease that should have never left the central part of that country. You know, we can go on and on.

We know that over a course of years, about three or four of them, TikTok has been making representations to the U.S. about how it doesn\u2019t allow data to be sent to China. And it\u2019s violated every single assurance it\u2019s given to the U.S. But it\u2019s not just stealing data.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is actually more serious that it is using the TikTok algorithm to disseminate Chinese propaganda, glorifying drug use, promoting violence on American streets, and this year, disseminating Russian narratives about the Ukraine war,\u201d he continued. \u201cSo this really is an attempt to undermine and actually even overthrow the U.S. government. And why we permit it? I don\u2019t know. India banned TikTok, we should do the same thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>TRANSCRIPT:<\/p>\n<p>JASON CHAFFETZ, FOX NEWS: All right, my next grievance is China. Why do we continue to do any business with them? They lied to us on COVID, they\u2019re committing genocide. President Xi is practically best friends with Vladimir Putin. We learned yesterday that ByteDance, the Chinese-owned parent company of TikTok, is spying on us journalists. And today, the CCP issued a warning to the United States about bullying them. The Chinese foreign minister reportedly telling the Secretary of State Blinken in a phone call that the United States must not continue the old routine of unilateral bullying. And we must pay attention to Chinese legitimate concerns, stop curbing and suppressing its development, and not constantly challenge China\u2019s red line in a quote \u201csalami slicing way.\u201d Here now is Gordon Chang, he\u2019s a Gatestone Institute senior fellow and author of \u201cThe Great U.S. China Tech War.\u201d Gordon, you\u2019re so good on China. Tell me, give me your impression, your thoughts on this latest revelation in these, this rhetoric coming out of China.<\/p>\n<p>GORDON CHANG, CHINA EXPERT: Well, first of all, China doesn\u2019t have legitimate concerns. It\u2019s not a legitimate state. And we should stop treating it as such, because as you say, it is committing genocide, crimes against humanity, it deliberately spread COVID-19 beyond its borders \u2014 that 6.7 million people outside of China who have died from a disease that should have never left the central part of that country. You know, we can go on and on. But clearly China is engaging in a series of acts which are destructive not only toward the United States, but the international community as a whole. And oh, by the way, Chinese leader Xi Jinping thinks he\u2019s the world\u2019s only legitimate ruler, and that moon and Mars are part of the People\u2019s Republic of China. I don\u2019t know, you know, just it\u2019s just inconceivable that we\u2019re dealing with China in a way that we have.<\/p>\n<p>CHAFFETZ: But it doesn\u2019t appear as if President Biden is taking a tough stance, is it? Is it enough? Are they are we speaking the right language, so to speak, to China to try to have them say, \u201cHey, wait, we better not mess with the United States,\u201d because it was certainly that way under President Donald Trump. The waters were calm because they understood where Donald Trump stood.<\/p>\n<p>CHANG: Yes. And what Biden is trying to do is he\u2019s trying, as he says, to find areas of cooperation with China. And because of that, we are not promoting our own interests. We\u2019re not defending our own country. You know, you pointed out that Biden has had these five phone and video conferences with Xi Jinping and one in person chat last month at the G-20. And he has never raised the issue of the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gordon Chang, a senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute and author of \u201cThe Great U.S. China Tech War,\u201d said during an interview this week that communist China is using TikTok to promote social disruption in the U.S. in an attempt to weaken America\u2019s system of government.
