Normally you don't expect any non-standard political pressure when you take a job
This article is from October 2019. Given Trump's feelings about China I feel like he shouldn't have been surprised by the forced sale https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/25/tech/tiktok-national-security/index.html
I guess that’s what happens when the president of your country acts like the mafia
Like or dislike Trump, TicTok is controlled by the CCP and banning them is the right thing to do, along with Huawei

So many countries presidents are acting the mafia apparently - no offense to possible CCP members on here but Tiktok illegally gathering and sharing data is documented fact. Even google -GOOGLE Is accusing them of violating their data collecting practices Why a highly thought of Disney exec agreed to Join a company controlled by CCP, who knows????? https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/53266068

It is pretty obvious that a deal is close and there is no place for him. So he quit. That’s my take.
