The Chinese Communist Party\u2019s flagship newspaper, the Global Times, touted President Biden and his campaign\u2019s use of TikTok, and critiqued the \u2018deep hypocrisy\u2019 of America\u2019s politicians who call the social media platform a national security threat.<\/p>\n

The opinion article in the CCP\u2019s state media said that Biden\u2019s campaign use of TikTok \u2018highlights the unjust suppression\u2019 and \u2018proves the hype nonsense.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018As a social media app that has been heavily portrayed by the US as a \u2018national security threat,\u2019 TikTok being used by Biden\u2019s campaign highlights the unjust suppression of TikTok by American politicians and proves the hype nonsense,\u2019 the article said.<\/p>\n

The Global Times argued that the short-form video social media platform has become a \u2018necessary means\u2019 for American politicians to reach young voters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Citing a 2023 survey report by the Pew Research Center, the Global Times said that about one-third (32 percent) of young Americans aged 18 to 29 say they regularly get their news from TikTok.<\/p>\n

The CCP newspaper said that American politicians are \u2018very self-contradictory when it comes to TikTok.\u2019<\/p>\n

The article argued that the Biden campaign\u2019s use of TikTok proves that the social media platform is not a national security threat and proves the \u2018deep hypocrisy\u2019 of American politicians.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018In the end, we are witnessing that Washington\u2019s behavior toward TikTok is unacceptable to the public and society, so politicians have to choose to compromise for votes,\u2019 Li Haidong, a professor at the China Foreign Affairs University, told the Global Times.<\/p>\n

Jake Denton, a research associate at the Heritage Foundation\u2019s Tech Policy Center, told Fox News Digital that Biden\u2019s \u2018hunger for votes has blinded him to the national security threats\u2019 posed by TikTok.<\/p>\n

\u2018Once again, President Biden\u2019s insatiable hunger for votes has blinded him to the national security threats facing America,\u2019 Denton said. \u2018By choosing to use TikTok for his reelection campaign, he is callously disregarding warnings from both parties and national security experts that this Chinese-controlled technology imperils our national security through invasive data gathering and its ties to the CCP.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018We cannot let one man\u2019s thirst for social media virality and votes endanger our country,\u2019 Denton said. \u2018The President must put America before his personal electoral interests, immediately delete TikTok, and join the bipartisan efforts to ban the app from operating on American soil.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Biden campaign\u2019s TikTok video sparked outrage after the administration banned the Chinese-owned app from federal devices over security concerns.<\/p>\n

Last February, the administration set a 30-day deadline for government agencies to purge the app from federal devices.<\/p>\n

The social media platform, owned by Chinese company ByteDance, is popular among younger Americans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Biden previously joined forces with TikTok influencers amid his re-election run, and the Democratic National Committee also joined the platform.<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s campaign joining the Beijing-based social media platform could present unique security risks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Most notably, the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s cybersecurity law allows government authorities to access companies\u2019 data.<\/p>\n

TikTok and the White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n
