Thanks very much. Since the National Intelligence Law of the PRC (2017) requires active cooperation with intelligence agencies by "all organizations and citizens" it does suggest, at the very least, that the Chinese government faces no legal hurdles (compared with Western nations) in accessing private information from Chinese-owned companies. "Article 7: All organizations and citizens shall support, assist, and cooperate with national intelligence efforts in accordance with law, and shall protect national intelligence work secrets they are aware of. Article 10: As necessary for their work, national intelligence work institutions are to use the necessary means, tactics, and channels to carry out intelligence efforts, domestically and abroad." Though TikTok has obviously been singled out for political reasons, Chinese law (and practice) does suggest that any argument that a corporation with Chinese ownership, incorporated elsewhere, isn't subject to the intelligence law doesn't seem very persuasive. That's not an argument for banning any Chinese owned company (Volvo?), but it might be an argument for banning information technology like Tiktok, no? The EEU does seem to be ahead of the U.S. in addressing the problem.
