teawrecks ,

there was also zero evidence provided by the US government of CCP-guided interference by Huawei or TikTok

There were a couple decades of direct evidence that Huawei was cooperating with the CCP.

Disinformation on TikTok and data collection via the app are both well documented, but doesn't seem any different from other social media platforms. The TikTok ban seems mostly politically motivated to me. I suspect whatever happens, their lawyers will fight it and win, until the govt finally cracks down on data collection in general, and we finally get something like GDPR.

You are suggesting that we should refer to China as "the CCP", the USA as "the Democrats", Australia as "Labor", etc.

No, I'm literally saying the opposite. We should refer to the CCP as the CCP, and China as China. My last paragraph was intended to highlight the difference, but perhaps you didn't read that far.

The rest of your comment is ad hominem, which doesn't interest me.
