I’m Singaporean! TikTok CEO denies China ties

US Senator Tom Cotton repeatedly asked TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew about his links to the Chinese Communist Party, despite Mr Shou repeatedly asserting that he is Singaporean at a hearing in Washington DC on Wednesday.

In this minute-long exchange, Mr Cotton asks Mr Chew about his citizenship, passport and whether he is a member of the CCP, to which he replies “Senator, I’m Singaporean. No.”
