Chinese version of KGB is called the Ministry of State Security. (MSS>
You think for one second the MSS **does not** have a pipeline into TikTok?
Anyone that thinks otherwise is a fool, at best.
Actually, the MSS (Guoanbu) is much more that just the standard image of the Russian KGB/FSB. It combines: KGB, CIA, NSA, military special forces, and military police.
The MSS conducts military operations around the world, spy operations and internal corruption operations like sending drug precursors to branches in various countries who then resell the ingredients to local criminal organizations.
The Chinese MSS Mexican cartel sells fentanyl precursors to the Mexican drug cartels who then sell it to their branches and distribution centers across the US.
TikTok, ByteDance like all corporations/companies in Mainland China are run and managed by the CCP. The CCP runs the MSS.
