TikTok refusing to sell to US companies proves it was being used as an Intelligence asset

As TikTok is set to soon be banned in the US due to ByteDance not being willing to sell the US part of TikTok to an American company all but proves that it was being used as an intelligence asset by foreign powers.

I know the CEO of ByteDance is Singaporean and all, but still the fact that they have refused multiple offers to buy the platform when they know a revenue stream would be being lost shows ulterior motive.

Why would a company when faced with the option of lose a revenue source completely, or make a pretty penny off of a disappearing revenue choose to just lose revenue? I just can’t believe that a company based in China that somehow isn’t in bed with the CCP wouldn’t make that decision. Anyway, that is my two cents.
