The Chinese government under Xi Jinping has expanded its influence operations aimed at manipulating the discourse abroad to its own advantage. Private actors are increasingly collaborating with the
government and playing a role in these operations. Despite the uncertainty of whether direct cooperation with the Chinese government exists, TikTok has been subjected to regulations in recent years, particularly in Europe and the United States. It is because its influence, potential problems, and lack of transparency have raised international suspicion. The regulations of TikTok, on the other hand, have been controversial, with opposition from a wide range of actors, including social media platform operators. This paper discusses the role of media and
SNS platforms in shaping the narrative that the Chinese government is trying to create, and then identifies the concerns that TikTok raises to governance and societal coherence. It then examines the regulations of TikTok in Europe and the United States, and recommends steps that Japan should take.
