They don't want to protect, they want exclusivity.

Meanwhile in the EU: TikTok, five other Chinese firms hit by EU privacy complaints
-
Chinese companies are in a catch 22 in Europe because Chinese law is completely incompatible with EU privacy laws.
And American companies are one executive order away from being in the same situation.

Err... Not to throw a wrench into things but, yeah. They kinda sorta did.
-
"Kinda sorta" is definitely the best way to put it.
-
security is totally different from privacy

Executive order isn't a law though.
That EO is also focused on commercial security, not citizen privacy:
The sweeping directive, signed Thursday, covers a range of topics including securing federal communications networks against foreign snoops, issuing tougher sanctions for ransomware gangs, requiring software providers to develop more secure products, and using AI to boost America's cyber defense capabilities, among others.

I think the issue is that TiKtok is just as bad as all the other social media and they are owned by a foreign adversary.
Foreign adversaries (ie China, Russia and America) use social media for influence campaigns on each other and therefore their social media platforms can't be trusted. This is why Chinese people similarly can't use Google or Facebook

Good job, this is exactly the understanding and framing that the Council on Foreign Relations wants you to have 💯
-
But China is not part of 14 eyes. So for citizens it is better that China has it than their own government.
-
Russia does that without (US-)foreign social media. Same difference.
