That makes no sense on the face of it.

First of all the ban comes from the legislative, who made a law and the judiciary who decided it applied in this case.

Secondly the executive might ignore their duty to enforce rulings for a while, sure, but that's not a long term solution, and not a big achievement.

Thirdly even Biden's executive was not enforcing the ban, apparently fearing the optics. Now we have gone from Biden's executive not enforcing the ban to Trump's executive not enforcing the ban. So there was no effective change.

Tiktok is just doing some political maneuvers here. They were the ones denying access for the last 24h for the optics. Not out of respect for the court's decision.

It's literally just China destablizing the US, same as it's been for years. It doesn't have to make sense. Weeee 🙃

China or America just shooting itself in the foot with Trump?

Little of column A, little of column B. China's going to throw fuel on the already burning fire wherever they can.
