Republican Tom Cotton hounded TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew, who is Singaporean, over his citizenship and ties to the Chinese government.

Sen. Tom Cotton: “Have you ever been a member of the Chinese Communist Party?”

Shou Zi Chew: “Senator, I’m Singaporean. No.”

Sen. Tom Cotton: “Have you ever been associated or affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party?”

Shou Zi Chew: “No, Senator. Again, I’m Singaporean.”

Cotton and Republican colleagues have called for TikTok to be banned, claiming it is a “spy app for the Chinese Communist Party.”
