India has already barred the wildly popular TikTok app over national security and privacy concerns while other countries are reportedly mulling similar measures. "With respect to Chinese apps on people's cell phones, I can assure you the United States will get this one right too," he said. "The Chinese Communist Party's destruction of free Hong Kong continues," Pompeo said in a sharply worded statement. Pompeo condemned what he called the "latest assaults on the rights and freedoms of the people of Hong Kong."
