Could MORE Chinese products be banned?! A combination of unique factors has put some Chinese technologies on U.S. lawmakers’ naughty list. Companies from China are increasingly global technology trendsetters, including in important areas like electric vehicles and artificial intelligence. It’s hard to buy an internet-connected home device that doesn’t run on Chinese technology. Technologies that originate in other countries considered adversaries of the United States, such as Iran and Russia, are mostly irrelevant in the United States.

U.S. officials believe that TikTok or other Chinese companies would have to comply if Beijing ordered them to hand over data they have on Americans, to spy on us, or to spread Chinese Communist Party propaganda.
