It annoyed me when she showed everyone the pistol-animated TikTok video trying to prove that these videos have badly influenced American kids. But the BIG question is, why do the majority of Americans have access to guns even? Anyways, TikTok daddy really slayed the congress hearing, beating out each and every one of the fuckers there in the most elegant way in history.
@saltedeggprawn_ first off, don't conflate issues. The second amendment has been around far longer than tiktok or the current trends in violence. There's no relationship between the two. Second, you should've pointed out what the video text stated. It implied they were going to shoot up congress. Unjust threats of violence are the issue - not simply having a firearm. All that said, who gives a fuck about tiktok. Those politicians are as clueless as any others. Americans don't support the censorship of media - especially not when it mirrors what the Chinese do to their own citizens.
Imagine the Tiktok PR team pulling all nighters to prepare themselves for various technical questions, only to be hit with "Does Tiktok connect to my wifi" lmao
i REALLY RESPECT CHEW being so calm to face this group of morons! The way they asked questions and stopped Chew from providing an answer demonstrated how hysterical they are !! YES, this is a Circus show, pity Chew has to spent his precious five hours facing these morons!
You are too stupid to even notice that Chew purposely evades and does not answer 90% of their questions. But go on, and pat yourself on the back and congratulate yourself on how “smart” you are trolling online when what you really want at the getgo is to shill for the CCP
@@jesusemmanuelcordero4509 He has no one else to blame for his lack of productivity than his own shady evasiveness. I watched the ENTIRE HEARING from start to finish a few times. This sketchy guy rarely ever answers the questions he’s asked by the congressmen.
The old U$A we all love already gone. US democracy system already exploit by Oligarchs . Most politician only have 4 years to collect profit, so he focus on his(or his master) agenda. Other then helping his people. Never have any long-term plan for the benefit of the people. Now U$A is not a democracy it's a corporate autocracy ruled by the big corporates. Global interests are not about good will between people rather about where profits are to be made.
Some people wanted badly enough to be in Congress and made it happen. Sometimes, being of a certain status doesn't actually mean the person deserves that position but rather how much they wanted it (and could make it happen).

That’s a lot of questions can not be simply answered by Yes or No. For instance, if the lawmaker asked him “If my wife trying to seduce you, would you sleep with her?”. He probably would reply by saying “it’s really depends if your wife is pretty or not”. You see, that’s no “Yes or No” reply.

US wants Tik Tok for propaganda and spying on others. Tik Tok being neutral is enough to counter some of US narrative. If you spend enough time on geopolitics, you will sort of understand how CNN, BBC, NGO, UN, WTO, Nobel Prize, Facebook connect to each other.
The US congress' policy towards China looks like just unilaterally banning any Chinese tech company from gaining too much traction globally. They are shouting "China is bad" but are not willing to go all out trade war against China bcos that will hurt them more.

Nah, I disagree with you - an average Singaporean would probably not be able to deal with this SAVAGE TOXICITY. I think most Singaporeans would choose either one of the following response: 1. Break down in frustration, losing composure & the ability to speak coherently (then the toxic arrogant Americans would be even more gleeful because it would seem like the Singaporean is panicking = lying/ inferior cos he cannot even speak properly) or 2. Try the utmost to reply politely then fail miserably to get even 3 words in each time he is “given the opportunity to speak” just like in this case (the hope is that others would recognise the unfairness & toxicity of the situation & see through the manipulation but unfortunately this places too much faith in humanity). I think few Singaporeans are as shrewd & commanding as the late LKY (even LHL is not). Most of us are “too soft” in such situations. And some would totally lose their cool & respond with rudeness & end up stooping down to the same level as the aggressor. Not saying Chinese nationals are more capable candidates as an CEO but I think they might fare better in this situation than a Singaporean as their people are known to be more aggressive in general (due to their culture & the amount of competition they face). Instead of trying to just answer the aggressor’s questions politely as he can & hoping the rest of the world can see what the aggressor is trying to do, he would probably not allow his voice to be drowned every single time & put the aggressor in his place.
@@sylh8173 You wouldn't be able to just walk out in rage or depression either. If you were subpoenaed to appear for the hearing (i.e. legally compelled), walking out would likely earn you the charge of "contempt of Congress" - obstructing the work of Congress - which, like to failing appear before court, carries legal penalties including possible arrest. If the chair of the committee reacted fast enough, they could order the sergeant-at-arms (the House's disciplinary officer) to escort you back to your seat. If Mr. Chew had walked out under subpoena (he wasn't under subpoena, thankfully), he could have been charged and threatened with arrest. Even if an arrest didn't occur (unlikely anyway for a high-profile foreign subject who didn't commit a violent crime), the mere threat or attempt would be disastrous for U.S. relations with China and especially Singapore. While Mr. Chew wasn't subpoenaed in real life, refusing to appear before the committee would, given how important and high-profile the TikTok issue is to the American government, have earned him a subpoena anyway, as would walking out of the voluntarily-attended hearing. Thus, same outcome.
@@sylh8173 To most matured adult, when u are talking to clowns and morons, there is really no need to get angry. Its only laughable. But respect his endurance and guts, cos its for 5 hrs and infront of world camera and large group of congressmen and crowd, and trying not to laugh at stupid questions. Loll.

Did you watch how the Japanese and Koreans were whacked in the similar way by these uncivilized Americans during trade talks ?? Even the Europeans are not spared by the Americans.
The video ended with this: "To sum it up, the entire hearing was to allow these US Congress people to masturbate to the sound of their voices." No sh*t! Never has such few words aptly summarize so much, so profoundly.
This is so painful to watch. As how I see it, there’s an epidemic in America & that is toxic superiority. Obviously not every American is guilty of such behaviour but it is way too common amongst the Americans I’ve encountered & seen in the media. They tend to have this false sense of superiority over others, it could even be against their own people. Often loud, loving the sound of their own voice, talking over others. The country supposedly encourages freedom of speech but the individuals are only concerned about their own freedom to speak & disregards others’ freedom to do the same, essentially leading to some form of censorship, no? So not just a display of selfishness, toxic superiority but also contradiction. I’ve also encountered many who don’t just talk over others but actually talk down on others using a condescending tone, just like what happened here. Even when they are clearly in the wrong. Instead of using facts/ solid arguments to win people over civically, they resort to using dominance & even manipulation to “win”. And it’s sad to see this kind of bully behaviour being displayed not just amongst young people but adults & even in congress & being such commonplace.
I'll start this by saying that the past few days I've kinda turned myself into an advocate for TikTok here, due to outrage over this circus you just described. That being said, I'm just a TikTok user who recently did some research specifically on community standards of UA-cam, Meta and TikTok for a study I was carrying on, so I'm kinda fresh on comparing their features. And it struck me how TikTok's are kinda the most restrictive as far as concern for kids' safety goes. Like, on TT creators don't even use the word "challenge", just to say one, because it's a hot topic. As that congresswoman showed by exploiting it. In general, all three platforms are quite aware of potential issues and constantly work on their community standards, updating them, following current trends etc. So why did this hearing only call on TikTok about kids' safety? Well, one might wonder if the fact that some of these congressmen have stock in Meta is related to that. Why target a single platform when all of them expose billions of videos where there's bound to be some that actually slip through safety checks? Perhaps there's more interest in taking down the (foreign) competitor? As for data leaks, I've always been concerned with my personal data almost to paranoid levels. As you might guess from my username here. But what does TikTok store that is actually a concern for national security? Most of the data on TikTok is actually public, so it's not like you need a double code verification to access it and they get access to who knows what sensitive data. Especially compared to Facebook, frankly. And of all three platforms, TikTok is by far the one with the least advertising.
All the congressmen and congresswomen need to read your remarks before the hearing saving them some embarrassment. But they already had the game plans to bully and show their strength and authority. The bottom line is that the US wants to take over the company, a cash cow! SAD!
I am so happy to watch these so-called congress members, all are high quality and intelligent people, and we really need to respect them 😍, this country is going to ...... is in the progress of running down and decay 😘
If it comes to selling tiktok to an American co. or banning it, I'd prefer it to be banned. Why should some American co. reap the benefits (all those millions of users)! Can't be helped that all those other companies couldn't make an app that is comparable!
Bruh this is ridiculous. Rather than a logical argument where people can hear Shou Chew’s response and probably find a discrepancy if there is, they are being useless by asking them to say yes or no with no explanation. As if anything is so simple as a yes or no.
Actually, the 5 hours is not wasted. Mr Chew had achieved his goal. It is rather wise to go thru these 5 hours so that the world can see what he wants them to see. Its a good chance to shine.
I'm Malaysian I thought Malaysian politicians were once the champ of joker but now hey we have US congressmen and they are the runner up now. I am glad that we are not alone to have these joker around. I guess we really need Thanos now. haha
This hearing just showed the whole world how uneducated, unprofessional, unethical, undignified.uncivilised the American lawmakers are. If this is the level of their lawmakers, what's the average American person like? And worse, they are not even embarrassed 😮
Is it a hearing? Seems liked a court room without a judge for me with those either "Yes" or "No" questions 😅. Shou Chew should just bring a bunch of lawyers and let them handling all this jokers...
The poor fellow, he probably thought congress people were professional or grown up, or something. That look on his face when he realised he was in a congress of skeksies.
Shame on these politicians they had no interest about what he had to say. Such an unfair and biased questions. They wanted to make a mockery out of him.
Thank You for the video. When you are invited to a Congressional Hearing or any Select Committee Hearing, you are dead meat. They who seat in a group on elevated platform, means, winner. You seated down below, alone at times, shall be the loser, way before any questions asked, the room set-up visually, is telling. It cannot, and will not, be the other way. You appear before them for a hearing of which all questions asked are tailor for a yes or no answer. Say no and you are lying or evading, say yes and you are guilty of wrongdoing. The question asked by Chairwoman to a foreign employee about China Government policy, even a Chinese citizen could not answer, is just such. Do they know it? Definitely.
A more profound question should be asked when these people can be so rude and arrogant? Even if they know there are cameras and the whole thing will be watched by millions on the internet, and they just don't care? Cause they know we can do nothing about it. But I can assure you one thing here: they won't let anybody talk to them in the way they speak to this CEO; I mean, literally none of them, they know what they are doing; this is not a fair hearing, but some politician scheme.

Not saying Chinese nationals are more capable candidates as an CEO but I think they might fare better in this situation than a Singaporean as their people are known to be more aggressive in general (due to their culture & the amount of competition they face). Instead of trying to just answer the aggressor’s questions politely as he can & hoping the rest of the world can see what the aggressor is trying to do, he would probably not allow his voice to be drowned every single time & put the aggressor in his place.
@@sylh8173 You wouldn't be able to just walk out in rage or depression either. If you were subpoenaed to appear for the hearing (i.e. legally compelled), walking out would likely earn you the charge of "contempt of Congress" - obstructing the work of Congress - which, like to failing appear before court, carries legal penalties including possible arrest. If the chair of the committee reacted fast enough, they could order the sergeant-at-arms (the House's disciplinary officer) to escort you back to your seat.
If Mr. Chew had walked out under subpoena (he wasn't under subpoena, thankfully), he could have been charged and threatened with arrest. Even if an arrest didn't occur (unlikely anyway for a high-profile foreign subject who didn't commit a violent crime), the mere threat or attempt would be disastrous for U.S. relations with China and especially Singapore.
While Mr. Chew wasn't subpoenaed in real life, refusing to appear before the committee would, given how important and high-profile the TikTok issue is to the American government, have earned him a subpoena anyway, as would walking out of the voluntarily-attended hearing. Thus, same outcome.
@@sylh8173 To most matured adult, when u are talking to clowns and morons, there is really no need to get angry. Its only laughable. But respect his endurance and guts, cos its for 5 hrs and infront of world camera and large group of congressmen and crowd, and trying not to laugh at stupid questions. Loll.
These congressmen only made fool of themselves. Any 10 yr old Singapore kid is smarter than these clowns. Now i know for sure US is declining.

Shou Chen has more braincells than everyone else in that room combined 😂

When one belongs to a nation of people of higher average intelligence speaking to a group of those belonging to a nation of lower average intelligence… it’s definitely very hard to mitigate the gap.
To be fair, a fly on the wall has more brains than the room combined
Legend has it, Chew went tho 1/2 hours Q&A by his wife to train for this hearing and that 5 hours Congress grilling was an easy pass.
I am a Taiwanese, and believe me, this circus of politicians are beloved by the majority of people living on Taiwan, and our government follows every step of the United States.

There are so many Singaporean in this comment threads who prefers CCP iron fist.. it's like "I love how china can be so decisive in making decision but when it affects the ppl, why is china not like US, giving us a choice" 🤣 interesting psychology behind.
I’m pretty sure no one ever said they supported CCP , we just complaining about the clowns in America congress……..

thanks for summarizing it all so that I don't have to waste my time watching the actual thing 😂
Even after summarising it, its still not worth watching a second of it 😂
Ang moh stupidity is killing me😂
Thanks for the video. Haven’t had a good laugh in a long time, you just made my day. Summaries everything I wanted to say 😂
Someone as wise as him would have anticipated it. Who wouldn't? He would have done research on all the people questioning him including their connection, wealth and whether they did anything illegal
Did you watch how the Japanese and Koreans were whacked in the similar way by these uncivilized Americans during trade talks ?? Even the Europeans are not spared by the Americans.
Ironically, this is called a 'hearing' when the congressman (and women) were not interested in hearing anything... It should be called a 'reading'
The video ended with this: "To sum it up, the entire hearing was to allow these US Congress people to masturbate to the sound of their voices."
No sh*t! Never has such few words aptly summarize so much, so profoundly.
This is so painful to watch.
As how I see it, there’s an epidemic in America & that is toxic superiority. Obviously not every American is guilty of such behaviour but it is way too common amongst the Americans I’ve encountered & seen in the media.
They tend to have this false sense of superiority over others, it could even be against their own people. Often loud, loving the sound of their own voice, talking over others. The country supposedly encourages freedom of speech but the individuals are only concerned about their own freedom to speak & disregards others’ freedom to do the same, essentially leading to some form of censorship, no? So not just a display of selfishness, toxic superiority but also contradiction. I’ve also encountered many who don’t just talk over others but actually talk down on others using a condescending tone, just like what happened here. Even when they are clearly in the wrong. Instead of using facts/ solid arguments to win people over civically, they resort to using dominance & even manipulation to “win”. And it’s sad to see this kind of bully behaviour being displayed not just amongst young people but adults & even in congress & being such commonplace.
bruh i respect the ceo's patience dealing w this crap
if i leave tiktok open on my phone in water, will it start swimming?
chew patience over 9000!!!
I'll start this by saying that the past few days I've kinda turned myself into an advocate for TikTok here, due to outrage over this circus you just described.
That being said, I'm just a TikTok user who recently did some research specifically on community standards of UA-cam, Meta and TikTok for a study I was carrying on, so I'm kinda fresh on comparing their features. And it struck me how TikTok's are kinda the most restrictive as far as concern for kids' safety goes. Like, on TT creators don't even use the word "challenge", just to say one, because it's a hot topic. As that congresswoman showed by exploiting it. In general, all three platforms are quite aware of potential issues and constantly work on their community standards, updating them, following current trends etc.
So why did this hearing only call on TikTok about kids' safety? Well, one might wonder if the fact that some of these congressmen have stock in Meta is related to that. Why target a single platform when all of them expose billions of videos where there's bound to be some that actually slip through safety checks? Perhaps there's more interest in taking down the (foreign) competitor?
As for data leaks, I've always been concerned with my personal data almost to paranoid levels. As you might guess from my username here. But what does TikTok store that is actually a concern for national security? Most of the data on TikTok is actually public, so it's not like you need a double code verification to access it and they get access to who knows what sensitive data. Especially compared to Facebook, frankly. And of all three platforms, TikTok is by far the one with the least advertising.
Very well said 👍👍🙏thanks
All the congressmen and congresswomen need to read your remarks before the hearing saving them some embarrassment. But they already had the game plans to bully and show their strength and authority. The bottom line is that the US wants to take over the company, a cash cow! SAD!
i felt so bad for him you can see it in his eyes that he just wanted to get out
I am so happy to watch these so-called congress members, all are high quality and intelligent people, and we really need to respect them 😍, this country is going to ...... is in the progress of running down and decay 😘
If it comes to selling tiktok to an American co. or banning it, I'd prefer it to be banned. Why should some American co. reap the benefits (all those millions of users)! Can't be helped that all those other companies couldn't make an app that is comparable!
Agreed 100%😊

Bruh this is ridiculous. Rather than a logical argument where people can hear Shou Chew’s response and probably find a discrepancy if there is, they are being useless by asking them to say yes or no with no explanation. As if anything is so simple as a yes or no.
some questions cannot only be answered with yes or no.
It did show us how great the US is. it did shatter the US worshiper's American dream. Their version of the US isn't what they think it is.
It's like when someone asks you "how to cook mushu pork, just answer yes or no"
Actually, the 5 hours is not wasted. Mr Chew had achieved his goal. It is rather wise to go thru these 5 hours so that the world can see what he wants them to see. Its a good chance to shine.
I'm Malaysian I thought Malaysian politicians were once the champ of joker but now hey we have US congressmen and they are the runner up now. I am glad that we are not alone to have these joker around. I guess we really need Thanos now. haha
😂😂😂
Taiwan too
LMAO exact same vibes as Google CEO's congress hearing.
Mr Chew really shows what it takes to be a CEO.
I feel mr Chew is too much of a nice guy, he should learn how to debate to face these brood of vipers
This hearing just showed the whole world how uneducated, unprofessional, unethical, undignified.uncivilised the American lawmakers are. If this is the level of their lawmakers, what's the average American person like? And worse, they are not even embarrassed 😮
respect by me for your analysis... they no give Mr Shou a chance to say anything bruh
funy huh?😮💨😡😤
every time someone on our side talks Mr. Chew looks younger and younger and more relatable.
I really like CEO Tiktok because he can answer very good and controls emotion. Some questions is out of touch.🤭
Instead of questioning why guns are not banned in US, they question TikTok?
Seriously?
SHES FROM FLORIDA IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING
“ Hey Mr. TikTok, if I deleted cookies on my browser, will my computer get hungry?” --> This one LMAO!! 🤣🤣
Is it a hearing? Seems liked a court room without a judge for me with those either "Yes" or "No" questions 😅. Shou Chew should just bring a bunch of lawyers and let them handling all this jokers...
Our Congress is at such a low level, it’s embarrassing to watch!
This time they really uno reversal reversal and xia sway themselves
The poor fellow, he probably thought congress people were professional or grown up, or something. That look on his face when he realised he was in a congress of skeksies.
The True Face of American Peoples 🤣
Best bit is the audience don’t think the questions are ridiculous. So everyone is in agreement not just the questioner
US users only contribute to 15% of the entire Tiktok user base.
He definitely can convince his boss to just pull out of the US.
I still don't understand why companies need to gather and sell data for advertisers...
I haven't seen an ad in over 20 years...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

When you make Tiktok look like a good thing, you know you damn fucked up
This the facebook privacy thing all over again.
Shame on these politicians they had no interest about what he had to say.
Such an unfair and biased questions.
They wanted to make a mockery out of him.

Very well explained Mr Sushii. Very well. 👍🏻

Thank You for the video. When you are invited to a Congressional Hearing or any Select Committee Hearing, you are dead meat. They who seat in a group on elevated platform, means, winner. You seated down below, alone at times, shall be the loser, way before any questions asked, the room set-up visually, is telling. It cannot, and will not, be the other way. You appear before them for a hearing of which all questions asked are tailor for a yes or no answer. Say no and you are lying or evading, say yes and you are guilty of wrongdoing. The question asked by Chairwoman to a foreign employee about China Government policy, even a Chinese citizen could not answer, is just such. Do they know it? Definitely.
He will become the next Jack Ma 😂😂😂
the hearing kinda feels like an old SNL skit
A more profound question should be asked when these people can be so rude and arrogant? Even if they know there are cameras and the whole thing will be watched by millions on the internet, and they just don't care? Cause they know we can do nothing about it. But I can assure you one thing here: they won't let anybody talk to them in the way they speak to this CEO; I mean, literally none of them, they know what they are doing; this is not a fair hearing, but some politician scheme.
