Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- Chinese short video company TikTok’s CEO Chew Shou Zi on Wednesday, January 31, appeared alongside the chief executives of technology companies Discord, Facebook parent Meta, Snap and X (formerly Twitter) to testify before American lawmakers over concerns about the harmful effects of social media on children. This was Chew’s second appearance before US lawmakers in less than a year. In March 2023, Chew was questioned about TikTok’s ties to China and its safety precautions for children. Chew faced similar questions at January 31st hearing.

Senator: Have you ever been to a Chinese restaurant?
CEO: Yes
Senator: Ah I knew it! You are affiliated with the Chinese communist party.
😂😂😂
🤣🤣
Screw
.😅😂
😂
So sad..
I have deep respect for this Singaporean CEO, because he has steadfastly maintained his composure under intense pressure from the moronic senator.
That is not intense.. That is Stupid.. 😆 more the senator talk, the more stupid its sound.
Dude get this.. him being Singaporean is irrelevant when Tiktok IS Chinese govt controlled. That's the link. He could be whatever, doesn't matter, that is a red herring.
@@mindlightwavered herring my butt. That’s just a freaking lies , and you have been totally indoctrinated and brainwashed period!!! No, if, but, or what , and it sounds pretty dame ridiculous HAHAHAHAHA LOL 😂😂😂😂👎👎👎!!!
Why so many Chinese bots here poking their nose in American affairs? I literally checked many accounts from where anti-Cotton messages are coming from and for my surprise majority (almost all) are chinese or consists of Chinese videos. What does this even means? Idk if u r reading it or not but beware of CCP/CPC bots.
@@mindlightwaveI'm so jealous of the TikTok CEO earning millions of Chinese money 🤑 .
Just be a pro CCP and earn free money
The title should be " Senator embarrasses himself by repeatedly showing his ignorance and arrogance."
exactly, the choice of word 'denies' is defaming the CEO.
Right!
To be honest the senator asked the right question and spot on !! bottom line he worked for communist party and DONT dare to make any remark against the china communist party . US should banned TikTok in united states.
That's how he will get his vote
The Chinese puppet tiktok is china 🇨🇳 campaign to destroy American generation by long term
this is basicaly: "We're going to annoy you with questions until you admit you're Chinese."
He just came by prepared with the questions and just reading and asking
he is ethnically Chinese...
It's true though, China has been known to approach top ethnic Chinese people and offer them huge amounts of money and saying something along the lines like they need to support the mother land. They play the long term game sometimes 30+ years. It's funny how people think China wouldn't do something like that.
Lol like he’s going to say yes I am geez.
because he is chinses.
As a European I am often surprised how stupid the American government can be when they are trying blame anyone besides themselves. Anyone who thinks that this is proper is delusional and should learn to not act like a child.
Hello, Bot
Im an American and yes, the Republican Party is at an all time low. Please excuse these dummies and talk to the people in charge, the democrat party
US are in serious trouble.
Have you ever tried Chinese Food? Smell Chinese food? Passed by a Chinese restaurant? Have you EVER opened a fortune cookie 🥠?????
CEO: once I opened a Fortune cookie 🥠 Yes!
Senator: What did it say ??? Huh 🤔
CEO: It said : “ you are the controller of your destiny “
Senator : “controller” ? destiny”?
So you are a Dictator and you want to control my mind and that is your destination 🤪🤪
@@AYY170 Hello MAGA retard
This senator doesn’t even want to hear the answers. He’s literally just giving a speech. Look how many times this CEO was spoken over. 😅
He doesn't care about the answers. He did it to send a message to his voters. He knows the answer, and he is very well-educated. But his voters are not. That's the saddest thing about democracy in the U.S. today. It became a mediocre political system.
Looks more like a mediaval inquisition this not a mature civilation and it shows
You've never seen a Senate committee hearing before this have you? lolololol. It's a sound bite fishing expedition and nothing more
@@irishdrunkass well he seems very proud of it, I am glad to have him in the US gov and I wish he gets more voters.
Excuse me, the Senators were testifying. Please don't interrupt
Its like
“Are you American?”
“No, I’m british”
“So you are American”
If they asked him a few more times I bet they could convince him he is Chinese 😂😂
Or like
“Are you dumbass?”
“No, I’m American”
“So you are dumbass”
@@rushrush6754 he is bloody ethnic chinese, and he is a stooge of the ccp
🤣🤣🤣
We have our fair share of idiots in government.
Whats even the point of interogating someone if you wont let him talk?
The CEO TikTok should ask the senator how he became a senator. He should ask: " Are you a racist? Are you a Nazi? Did you apply to be a Nazi? Why are you not a Nazi? Do you have links with the Nazis? How come you are not a Nazi? " America's senator displaying such low and hilarious standards of bias attitude. Is this how America's senate select such senators?
we don't claim him😂😂😂😂, he racist
Nah, rich white guy with the name of Cotton from Arkansas, can't be in bed with the Germans.
It's much more likely to be KKK. Especially after the White Southern Democrats shifted their allegiance to the Republican party in the aftermath of Brown v Board and desegregation acts.
The Southern white Methodist Church (which Cotton is a lifelong member of) does have a problem with racism. I first learned about it when we studied To Kill A Mockingbird in class (they're Methodists) and my teacher gave handouts about the racist environment in WASP churches.
@@SrengLim2023Criticising the ccp is racist.
Bruh, imagine crying about “nazis” because someone dared to call out someone’s connections to the ccp.
What a total self own you are.
No, it is a smart and well-executed plan focusing on reinforcing the anti-China sentiment.
The point is not to ask about the TikTok CEO's link to China, the answer doesn't matter, the question especially the repetition of the same question is what's important.
And now every headline either being 'I'm not Chinese' or 'I'm Singaporean' or '...denies the link to 'Communist party or China'/'China''. Strengthening the concept of Communism is bad, having link to China is dangerous, there is no doubt no one wants to be associated with China, so stay clear from China and the Chinese. This is the important message.
How the media covers the report is also supporting this message. It is very smart strategy.
This is so racist! How is this even allowed? Questions are based on personal beliefs. Chew should've said "are you asking me because my face is asian?"

@@mrpipper7271 yeah sure! What happened in Iraq, Vietnam, bombing of Hiroshima-Nagasaki. What happened in tiananmen square was internal problem in China only, doesn't involve other countries. Anyways the victim are much more less than wars US were involved IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

How do you ask a question and not allowing it to be answered? That’s crazy.
Also why did they keep asking him how he feels about the laws china has?? That’s so weird, how the fck will we Singaporeans know what laws china has or even how he feels about the issues in china?? CHINA & SINGAPORE ARE 2 diff countries, we dont even grow up learning china history🤣🤣It’s like asking an American how he feels about the internal issues in Russia, that’s really a BIG JOKE. Even when he alrdy said he doesn’t wish to comment on other countries’ issues, they just won’t let him off even when he said he won’t comment. OMG why can’t they understand his job is CEO of TT, not CEO of CCP.🤭🤣

During the past three months alone they have rock bottomed, no dignity, no shame just plain disgusting stupidity
The guy behind that senator was like "Omg this dude is a SENATOR?" 😂

I feel so sorry to this TikTok CEO, it's hard for anyone to have such tolerance and patience to face people's ignorance and strong bias.
I feel sorry for US having such stupid senator..........
lol bruh every single nation with a mind has banned TikTok you know how it is like? Someone Islamic saying bad thing about Islam yes now can they ever go back what about thier family and kids yeah they are eating you up from inside bro look at Chinese plan to destroy America and other nations
Why, because he asked about his citizenship? You can be American AND be affiliated with the CCP.
TIKTOK IS OWNED BY BYTEDANCE which is based in CHINA
I'm from southeast asia closer to singapore, nothing's wrong with the question by american senator, he knew exactly the chinese in singapore were immigrants from china in Malay's native land called Singapore. Many CCP operated and infiltrated through their chinese descendants in all over southeast asia countries, chinese descendants hold economic keys in southeast asia, they helped china in selling china's products in southeast asia. Yes Cotton knew what he was talking, after i googled him i didn't surprised that he was a former military officer
This is deeply embarrassing. He is the CEO of a private company. Asking him about his personal beliefs is completely irrelevant and inappropriate. He is here to defend his company and shareholders. Wtf is this bs.
White folks ish.
He's literally forcing this guy to answer lies that satisfy his false propaganda. Like, it literally can't be more ironic.
Being a CEO means espionage is above him? By that logic, Trump could never have ties to Russia or Putin, right?
His “private company” needs to follow US Public Media Laws like all others do!
Free Speech, Child Ratings, Pornography Etc.

That's arrogant!!
This is "American Exceptionalism".
Typical American arrogance…
this kind of people is not fit for senator!
It’s so embarrassing to be an American. Senators ask questions and literally won’t even give him an opportunity to answer before jumping down his throat again. Chew remains composed, respectful, and doesn’t speak over them, regardless of how many times he’s spoken over. God it just gets worse every day
Probably because they have a limited time and usually require a yes or no response. Have you never bothered to research an actual hearing before or are you another TikTok bot?
Because they don’t care about the answer. They just need a few seconds “being tough on China” to post on their social media during the campaign later this year.

End-stage brain failure 😱
Its called "framing"...all the questions are framing the agenda
The problem we have is because Most people always taught that " you only need a good job to become rich. These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.
Money invested is far better than
money saved, when you invest it gives
you the opportunity to increase your
financial worth.
The wisest thing that should be on
everyone mind currently should be to
invest in different streams of income
that doesn't depend on government
paycheck, especially with the current
economic crisis around the world. This is still a time to invest in Stocks, Forex and Digital currencies.
I also keep seeing lot's of people
testifying about how they make money investing in Stock, Forex and Crypto Trade(Bitcoin) and I wonder why I keep loosing. Can anyone help me out or at least advice me on what to do.
Even with the right technique and
assets some investors would still make more than others. As an investor, you should've known that by now that nothing beats experience and that's final. Personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to $35k, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I'm buying again.
Trading under the guidance of an expert is the best strategy for beginners.
This senator is the kind of person that makes me feel embarrassed to be american

@@rahulvats7896he never hesitates to say the dumbest thing

THIS VIDEO DOES NOT PROVIDE FULL CONTEXT.
There is a hidden story behind this.
For context, the CEO of TikTok was appointed 1 day after the Chinese Government bought shares and had a board seat in ByteDance, in which the current CEO is the CFO.
Google "Senator Tom Cotton Exposed Tiktok's CEO".
You'll see why the CEO of Tiktok is most likely a snake.
Cotton is an embarassment.
No! For those who are not familiar of interrogation, the process of asking questions many times (repeatedly) is a psychological exercise to prove that an individual is truly honest. The question about the CEO TikTok of his citizenship is a question related to possible affiliation between ByteDance and CCP members. This question possibly identifies network of sharing sensitive information in relation to National Security and Privacy. The affiliation between TikTok and ByteDance question to this CEO TikTok is kinda weird because Mr. Chew is a former CFO of ByteDance then becomes CEO of TikTok. Please do research ByteDance Ltd China.
@@hotspot930 🤣 is Tom Cotton your boss? Why do you keep repeating this propaganda lie like a bot in the comment section?
@@Odgin No! I’m saddened for people who don’t know the rules of proceedings in a manner of asking questions. 🤦🏻♂️ The manner of asking questions repeatedly is how you squeeze hidden information from the witnesses. My suggestion to you better familiarize yourself to court and/or Congress/Senate Hearing proceedings to understand what I am talking about. Plus, read articles regarding on ways of asking questions to a witness to tell the truth (psychological attack of questions) these are all applied and acceptable in court for witnesses. Strategic ways by both the plaintiff and defense.
@@hotspot930 Bro, your dumb if you don't think this is all political theater for his Republican constituents He acts this dumb all the time for other issues also.

If you actually do, I got a bridge to sell for you. Because if he actually did, he would actually draft laws restricting all social media alongside his politician clowns without the press.
It's crazy to think how people like you don't have any ounce of critical thinking.

One mentally ill kid SEEKS out self harm and suicide content on a platform, and all of a sudden, TikTok is PROMOTING that stuff? Erm nah g, that's not how it works.
His company based on china . However he’s not Chinese , also it’s similar thing happened in India , government has to banned coz they didn’t confirm or deny allegations of they feeding data to Chinese government, also they said if Chinese government ask we all give them , that’s what they said .
They are, and the CEO is nothing but a pawn for the CCP. AS calm as collected as he was why was he so dismissive of the CCP allegations?
If you have nothing to do with CCP, and as he claims TIKTOK has nothing to do with Byte dance, then why is the data sent back to china? Why does he have an issue condeming human right violations?

No medicine can heal stupidity.
@blswong212 are you in New York? With the 212 makes me wonder 🤔, aside from that random thought. How can you be so sure nothing can cure stupidity?
Do you sit idle and ponder these less than puddle deep thoughts all on your own, or do you search needlessly for these uninspired quotes? Cause it seems you're merely copying someone else. Do you have anything of your own? An original thought to share?
But maybe why you feel stupidity can't be cured is because far too many people allow it to exist. Sort of like the concept of nobody can hit women, even though that is not true, what they mean to say is shouldn't hit women, because anyone can hit a woman. But as long as people assume they can get away with something they keep doing it until they can't.
You want a cure for stupid there are plenty of options to choose from. If you have enough intelligence to think of them. Maybe you aren't creative enough... Perhaps that's your problem you're too stupid to cure stupidity.

How the media covers the report is also supporting this message. It is very smart strategy.
TikTok CEO maintained composure although he was obviously pissed by moronic accusations. Well done, CEO!

Why so many Chinese bots here poking their nose in American affairs? I literally checked many accounts from where anti-Cotton messages are coming from and for my surprise majority (almost all) are chinese or consists of Chinese videos. What does this even means? Idk if u r reading it or not but beware of CCP/CPC bots.
Senator: Do you breathe?
CEO tiktok: yes I do.
Senator: hell ya! I also saw Communist Party breathing air like you, you are one of them.
very similar to the mccarthy trials...which was the successor of the salem witch trials

Can't believe these are our senators... can not believe it. Can't talk in logical sentences
How did he become a senator with such low-class questions? I guess any joker can become a politician
This senator is Harvard graduate .

I mean… there’s trump running for president… and Ted Cruz is also a senator
He's making a businessman give an opinion on the two most powerful men in the world in a recorded hearing and saying "why won't you answer "?
How is he supposed to answer that?
He didn't want to answer because he IS afraid of Xi Xinping.
Do some research on how fucked up the CCP is.

Good question.

Exactly,,, i don't have their facts well organized
Same thing comes in my mind
They jus doing his job, defending the lobbies who financing his campaigns.
how do they even become a senator in the first place. embarrasing.
They have become "Senget" instead of Senate.
Because daddy paid the bill yet they complained about affirmative action

very low quality leadership in USA. not well traveled or global thinking. stuck in USA for too long
Yeahh too much talk about genocide in china look how western alliance genocide palestinians people
They including Tom Cotton are mostly lawyers by trade who are conflict driven. That's what they are best at, spending their time honing in their skills in arguing all day. If there is peace and harmony, they are out of work.

Mr Chew really handled himself well despite all of the hard questions from senators. This is why most people have become apolitical and become indifferent
He was calm and composed. Other CEOs especially Mark Zucc was very nervous 😂
Those are stupid and irrelevant questions asked by th senator.
This Tiktok ceo is the most patient ceo I have ever seen 😂😂😂😂
They are blaming an app for poisoning people instead of watching at all the external factors that also influence these behaviors. Eg the system, social structures, family dynamics etc.
Extreme violation by repeatedly probing into CEO's personal beliefs despite the number of times he denied answering it. He was there to represent a private company he works for and its relation to children's safety. And was never allowed to answer because they didn't want to appear dumb. Atrocious.

You know that your initial argument has no solid ground when you attempt to slander the opposition's character
I’m not surprised this ceo is more intelligent than all the people in the room. He earned his way to the top, but these people made their way to the top thru lying and cheating.
That CEO has the patience of a saint. I almost admire him for it.
Ted Cruz : are you telling me chineses are watching math and sciences , and Americans prefer to watch sexy dances and guns? I DONT BELIEVE YOU
I am full of respect for my countryman. His patience is not of the same level as an ordinary man. Despite all the moronic questions that even a pre-school kid would find them ridiculous, Mr Chew still maintained his composure. Salute to him!
You are incredibly naive
One can immediately sense the immense hatred against the Chinese from this senator.
May be one can begin to relate this to the origin of the Chinese Exclusion Act in the old days....
Australia had that act too. It’s probably better to have than have the market flooded with incompetent merchandise from shoddy merchants who use children to make their products
Maybe because the Chinese government is a wolf in sheeps clothing.
We dislike china. but we love educated chinese who are proud of being an American citizen.
I'm more concerned of the parents who's giving smart phone devices to their children and not properly guiding and supervising them, and now they are blaming the apps. Can't they see themselves that they too are at fault here, this one is pretty disgusting!
this is very American stuff
exactly!! the parents are at fault not a stupid app. we need to preach better parenting in this time of copious amounts of information. the ceo is NOT at fault for what parents are incapable to do which is guide the youth.
@@shietcard9649China disagrees with you apparently. Teens under 14 are only allowed 40 minutes per day on Douyin (which is the real Chinese Tiktok btw) and only before 10pm and after 6am.
Thank you for saying it 👏🏻
EXACTLY!!! how did the parents not notice their kids acting differently? why are parents not regulating their screentime? americans (im american too) love to blame everyone but themselves.
He is from Singapore. He has said it soooo many times.
By God.... I got annoyed by these Senator's Questions! And I am an Indian, we are at cross with China at all roads, so that says something!
India will have its turn when the time comes. It's a witch hunt.
China PRRC. Not Taiwan, that also China Republic of China. I am sick of this.
Well done, take pride as a Singaporean
"It's the Chinese government ..." Stop blaming another country , and start to blame the parents. It all starts at home .
Well well said
Man you guys don't see how insidious and fucked up China's government is? This Senator was a jackass but the CCP is the worst organization in the world.
Tik Tok's security issues is it controls the news that people see, China & Tik Tok has been found a billion times to be primarily spreading the Chinese Gov's own inaccurate propaganda views on every World wide issue
Its ironic American values stand for individual responsibility yet they blame tik tok and china for their own problems
Kind of ironic because america stands for individual responsibility yet they blame tik tok and others for their problems
Can he at least let the CEO to answer the question. He doesnt listen, and than made his own conclusion.
Can't wait for these senators to start asking Mr.Chew for confirmation of his gender.......
lol
😂
Cotton cannot tell if he himself is woman or man.
Imagine he says “I’m nationality fluid. Sometimes American sometimes Chinese or Russian. Occasionally Jewish.”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Senator Cotton's inquiry is comparable to questioning him about his family's history as slave owners merely based on his surname being Cotton. Mr. Chew was also at a hearing last year and faced similar questions.
Totally not the same, but OK.
Cotton's ancestry is highly contentious

It is very annoying to interrupt when you ask a person and he does not answer your question the way you want. Do not interrupt him until he answers as he wants and not as you want. Also, bring in a technical expert. Do not ask the technical executive head for a program about heads of state and political matters. What is the significance of that? Imagine someone talking about China at the end. America is a criminal country. It is not a criminal country, but rather a thug and a perpetrator of the most horrific crimes, but they make themselves imaginary heroes and make everyone appear to be the bad ones. Even if they do the same thing, they annoy people by talking a lot about freedom of expression, and whoever expresses something contrary to what they like, they become against him and try to bring him down.
I really admire this CEO. HE CAN REALLY TOLERATE THESE TYPE OF IDIOT QUESTIONS. I bet his mind is like, wah kao, this Ang Moh seriously CMI.
These Ang Moh is really chow chee bye, lam pah kia !
This is why i think asian nations that support western countries in attacking china are not that smart. They look at u guys and think u are all the same.

How are they suppose to protect their children from the mainstream without creating resentment?
@@TeachMeHow2Douglas better question is, what are they doing to protect their kids.
@@TeachMeHow2Douglas Would it not be better to have your child resentful towards you for a little while whilst still being alive? I feel sorry for the Teens who killed themselves but to blame it all on others is just an excuse for we are overworked and did not pay enough attention to what our children were doing. We did not want to take his phone away from him as he would not like it and would not be my best friend anymore. They are parents, not friends. Act like parents then.
Why do the kids have phones with free access to social media in the first place
@@FortuneDailyNews oh I know what it's like for my children to feel resentment towards me. I am an opponent of my children having access to social media and free internet. Of course the goal is to parent your child to the best of your ability but we have never been here in this age of information technology before. Companies are learning new ways to grab the attention of the masses and have even went to the extent of exploiting our attention spans by creating platforms of short video after short video, insert ad here and create your own video with cool new filter. Even a half an hour of internet seems to be able to load ones brain with a lifetime of useless information.

Reminds me of Monty Python’s The Spanish Inquisition where they keep screaming “Confess” at the old woman and eventually one of the priests falls to his knees screaming “I confess” :D I bet a little more while and I feel like Cotton himself would’ve come out as a Chinese citizen, lol.
Why the senator keep interrupting the guy before he answered?
They are not interested in answers, all these hearings are but a platform for them to make speeches in order to get clout amongst their voters.
Maybe he has a massive ego or he loves the sound of his own voice more than others
The arrogance that is killing America.
I love how the CEO was asked a question and then given an opportunity to be interrupted.
This CEO is smatter than all these senators . He need to ask them how they became senators in the first place .

You can just tell that he was just fucking confused by this, like mf was flabbergasted that he got someone in the fucking SENATE spouting some conspiracy shit at him instead of being professional and talking about real shit that they were there to talk about, it's so wild
I wonder if you're allowed to say no to these questions. He didn't even understand there is no TikTok in China and that TikTok is NOT Chinese but Singaporean. Imagine confusing the two countries. That's the definition of racist.
Well done Chew responding calmly to the moron senators.
i wouldnt agree more..my god,us senators are investigating and their evidence is just theories😂😂😂
If you watched the proper hearing you would see that there was actual data used from previous hearings, emails outlining the major holes in Facebook’s/Meta’s safety for children using the platform and many other breaches of safety across each platform eg instagram and snap chat along with TikTok being a haven for predators as well and Discord.
Show him the middle finger.
“How many times a week do you do your wife?”
“Senator, I am here to answer questions about my company”
“Why don’t you just answer simple questions, what are you hiding?”
😂😂😂
Incredible the amount of times the senator had to say “communist” just to try to make it look like he was right. What an absolute clown. Shameful.
I’m sick and tired of these senators asking stupid and irrlevant question and that’s why and how this country is spiraling downwards except showcasing its military power.
Tom Cotton is a good example of how naive, ignorant and stupid he as a senator is. How could he be asking out of topic questions and expect people answering.
Clearly you didn’t bother to watch the actual entirety of this hearing. If you had done you would see that it IS very important and much needed.
Big Tech Platforms should not be allowed if they cannot be transparent and on the same page as the Government when it comes to protecting children online.
Until they can provide proper safety constraints and be able to prove that they are equipped to protect children online, the legal age of using social media platforms should be raised to 18 globally and age verification should be introduced.
If a parent wouldn’t allow their child to marry, operate a vehicle, drink, gamble etc until they are over 18 years old, it should be the same for social media platforms as well.
@@ChanelCoco-pk7mpthen don’t let your kids on social media. It isn’t a business’ job to parent your kids because you can’t be bothered to not restrict Little Jimmy’s ability to use social media or monitor that issue.
@@xellos6882that is moronic. It is absolutely the responsibility of a company to sell their products in an ethical manner! Just like alcohol and cigarettes can not be legally sold to minors, restrictions in social media access based on age have a good base to become a new law.

because they are redhat and selfish
The senator not give him chance to complete the answer. It was the users who search for whatever contents they want to see. In addition those bad contents such as violent or whatever was made by American themselves.
Does this senator hear himself, or the CEO of Tiktok? At all?
When you saw a white ethnic man and you ask if he from Russia? Then he reply no i from America, you ask him America is in which part of Russia? Again he said no i from America…. And you insist he looked like Russian because all white ethnic people looks exactly like Russian
