This week we are highlighting a WeChat blog article written in response to last week's congressional hearing on TikTok.

As Robert Wu of BAiGUAN explains in this English language analysis, in all likelihood the article is attributable to Professor Zuǒ Xiǎodòng (左晓栋) of the University of Science and Technology of China (中国科学技术大学), who is "a top policy advisor on data security."

We are providing BAiGUAN's English summary for accessibility, but strongly encourage you to read the original Chinese piece. It gives immediate insight into how an important segment of the Chinese data security world views the US approach to TikTok, their sense of the gravity of the situation, and how China might respond in the future.
