Is the Chinese Communist Party a Risk?

The Chinese Communist Party may have the ability through the parent company of TikTok to actually shape narratives, suppress, lift, shape what we see on a daily basis. There's a significant amount of risk exposure we have here. The CCP doesn't own CBS, to my knowledge. For Elon Musk, I know you know him. And last question here on this: Putin plays the egos of big men, gives them a sense that they can play a role, but in reality, they're just direct transmitters of messages from Vladimir Putin. Is it really that? Are adversaries using business icons to further their foreign policy? Why yes, that's happened before.
