Representative Jack Molinar, a Republican and chairman of the House select committee on China, stated that the committee will oversee the deal, which was approved on Thursday. He added that China cannot be allowed to militarize the algorithm's application, which would lead to the division and weakening of our country. Reuters reported on Friday that members of the U.S. House of Representatives said the deal, struck by TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, to create a joint venture where U.S. parties hold a majority stake, aimed at avoiding a ban on the app in the U.S., requires congressional scrutiny.
