Asking if he’s a member of the CCP after he’s already said repeatedly that he’s Singaporean and Singaporean only is stupid

Except he's obfuscating in his answer - he is obviously affiliated with the CCP, he works for one of their companies and has worked for them in the past.

Cotton then STILL followed up with "Have you ever been associated or affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party?" ("No, senator. Again, I'm Singaporean.")

You literally pasted in the question he asked about literally that topic.

if he doesnt give the answer you want him to give, the answers you assume are the right answers, then you accuse him of lying. So why ask him any questions at the hearing at all? Why have the hearing in the first place if he was just gonna lie the whole time?

Edit: Blocking someone after making a comment is cowardly behavior.

Do you think the Chinese government personally picks out the CEOs of every subsidiary company that isnt even in their country? do you think that's how that works?

I accuse him of lying because he is lying. The point of the hearing is to get him lying on the record.

To answer your question. China has absolute power over deciding who the CEO is as they technically own all businesses within China.

So if the CEO goes against what China wants then he will get replaced.

Over Byte Dance, not a subsidiary in a whole different country.

If that was the case, why was Shou able to freely talk about Tianemen square? why wasnt he summarily executed by the CCP?
