"The difference between TikTok and WeChat and FB/Google/Twitter is obvious: the former are to some degree controlled by China and the latter are private entities."
I think that difference is not that wide as people believe. Throwing money into advertising on any platform will get you close or beyond ideological subversion or active measures.
All you have to do is look at the radicalization and the polarization of left and right in the US and you will see you don't need a state controlled entity at all.
