    Yes it is an “assumption” with Chinese companies, but the broken part is where US companies have been caught selling private information not only to 3rd parties but also to the US government. This TikTok evidence still needed to see cross-examination in court as the person stating it, was an ex-employee. We can’t say it has not happened, but I prefer to judge after something is actual court evidence.
