The hearing witnessed

several absurd moments,

notably when US Senator

Tom Cotton repeatedly

insinuated TikTok CEO Mr.

Chew’s alleged involvement

with the Chinese

Communist Party, despite

Mr. Chew’s assertions about

his Singaporean nationality.

Cotton then shifted to questioning Mr.

Chew about the infamous 1989

Tiananmen massacre; a series of

student-led protests that ended with a

violent military intervention costing

hundreds to thousands civilian lives.

Chew characterised this massacre as “a

massive protest” thereby omitting the

subsequent casualties on the pro-

democracy activists, leading to

controversy and scrutiny over his

choice of words.
