🌐 Trust is crumbling like a poorly timed TikTok trend—and the stakes couldn’t be higher. As geopolitical tensions escalate, platforms like TikTok are caught in the crossfire, exposing deeper cracks in international cooperation. 🚨
Why TikTok Matters
In an exclusive interview, Asia-Europe relations expert Cui Hongjian warns that the TikTok saga isn’t just about data privacy—it’s a symptom of a fractured global system. \"When major players abandon the rule of law, everyone loses,\" he says. The app’s fate could set a precedent for how nations navigate tech, trade, and trust.
A Call for New Rules
Cui argues that rebuilding consensus requires transparency and shared goals. \"We’re stuck in a zero-sum game,\" he notes, comparing today’s tensions to a \"high-stakes game of Among Us\" where suspicion overshadows collaboration. 🌍💡
