About this listen
In this episode, we break down TikTok’s role in China’s long-term global strategy, looking at how ByteDance’s rise is linked to China’s 2049 plan for global dominance. We explore how TikTok is more than just an entertainment app—it’s a geopolitical tool used to influence public opinion, shape political narratives, and manipulate global culture. The episode covers the massive data collection operation behind TikTok, the app’s ability to suppress dissenting voices, and the broader implications of its success for China’s ambitions. We also discuss the mental health and societal impacts of TikTok’s addictive design, as well as its role in creating new cultural norms, all while raising concerns about national security, data privacy, and global influence.
