So if China would pay $100 a month to every teacher in the US to teach some subversive topic, would that also be ok?
The issue here isn't free speech, but control over what content is promoted, unless you think the CCP has the right to free speech in the US.
The moment EU will ban x/itter for the exact same reason it will be all about free speech again.

It would not be OK, but not because it is China. It would not be OK because it is not OK for anyone to do that.
Sorry, it is a free speech issue. TikTok is a gestalt product of the content on there.
Maybe Washington should figure out a way to make fewer "Foreign adversaries" so it doesn't have to subvert the fundamental rights of its citizens.
