FOX Business host Larry Kudlow reacts to allegations China uses TikTok to spy on American citizens on Tuesday's 'Kudlow.'

There is virtual unanimity in Washington that either TikTok gets sold by ByteDance — which is the Chinese Communist Party-linked owner of the social media app — or TikTok will be banned for use in America. Breaking up is hard to do, but one way or another it looks like it's going to happen. TikTok owner ByteDance is an instrumentality of the Chinese Communist Party. It engages in spying, surveillance of personal information, cyber espionage and political interference.

He'll let Congress figure it out. How this is all going to play out remains to be seen, because China doesn't want ByteDance to sell TikTok. Banning Tiktok, with its 150 million American users, is tricky business. Some states and localities have already banned the TikTok app from government phones. At some point, CFIUS — the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. — is just going to rule against ByteDance, or TikTok, or the whole package.
