But yawn and meh.... they were pushing Democrats so that is okay!
Forbes discovered TikTok accounts controlled by Chinese state media that accumulated tens of millions of views before the midterm elections, on videos that often criticized specific politicians and sought to undermine trust in American institutions. https://t.co/FfwKVK9e2W pic.twitter.com/94RUNMkZvb

To be clear, it is literally impossible for Russia to have ever interfered in the manner that China can based on the fact that Russia does not own something like TikTok. They barely own a clock that goes tick and tock, much less the seventh largest social media application in the world.
But you will not find anyone interested in undermining Chinese interference or demanding that the 2022 election was "stolen" because of foreign interference. Reality here folks. International interference is here to stay and there is nothing we can do about it. Well except complain that the Russians did it (even when our two plus years of investigating didn't actually prove anything).
But somehow a platform like Twitter (about half the size of TikTok) is on the radar of our politicians. Not because there is ANY proof of Twitter pushing disinformation, but because it is not willing to simply push the liberal narrative ahead of everything else.
