The ban on TikTok and the scrutiny on Chinese tech companies reflect the unwelcome climate for Chinese companies trying to go global. Concealing Chinese associations is no longer effective, and the national origin of these companies matters more than technical details. Instead of focusing on the ban, attention should be given to the platform's content moderation issues, operational transparency, and algorithmic transparency.
