In my opinion, this Mr Nice Man did extremely well in front of that big group of pirates, gangsters and beasts!

He did okay, but could have been more direct. By elaborating his answers, he could come across as evasive and also provided more bullets for the old fogeys to shoot him with. Those boomers don't get it anyway.

The agenda was already set and cast in stone, the writer still expects him to persuade and gain the trust of those monkeys? Too naive

Too much in grace and little in substance. He should have just shoot and rebut strongly the congressmen. After all he has China behind him and also he won't be able to convince them.

As I had said, he is not Mark Suckyourbird, who is the FOUNDER of FB
Mark has a heavy stake if FB gets banned
But any MBA-graduate running any company as a CEO only has so much at stake and he obviously takes instructions from his paymasters
Nothing he could do except dont screw up and keep saying he is a Sinkie, not a Chinese, that's all and hope they get frightened by his nationality
If he had said he is an American, maybe the verdict would be different
By the way, from my experience, they will not ban TT
TT is NOT Huawei, it poses no security risk, data or no data, just empty threats
It does not serve them well to ban TT and they hv everything to lose to their own American Tiktokers by doing so
Performance wise, I would say he did so-so and as the cybersecurity as well as the compliance head as well besides the bottomline of TT in America, he did not far that well when asked about the security of the data so on and so forth
He could and should explode their brains with dense knowledge of security so much so they will not dare to ask stewpig or silly questions if they do not understand his technical hardcore explanations, but instead he told them he has to defer to the technical engineers to answer those questions
This is to me, was the LOST OPPORTUNITY
You see, in the land of the blind, he is the one-eyed man and he is THE KING

Having watched the video clip, I think Chew did pretty well, but he was often interrupted when giving his answers, very unfair for the congressmen to cut him off so abruptly......

to prove the CEO is trueful and right

They only wanted him to answer YES or NO nia lah.
Those clowns think they set rules for the world.

As a CEO of TikTok, Mr Chew is entitled to a certain number of shares, and this could work out to a few million dollars, how can he forfeit that.....................

the premise is to shoot down, even if he can talk till bird come down to his hand also no used.
just let it be. at least he has proven that he has courage to face up to pressure.
think he actually did quite well for that.
