China may be playing a significant role in the anti-Israel protests by using TikTok to foment division on college campuses.
Gordon Chang, a senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute and vocal critic of the Communist Party of China, said the adversary’s actions are an "act of war" as it uses the "curation algorithm of TikTok" to instigate protests.
"We know of the Hamas videos on that platform [TikTok] – 96.5% of them support the terrorist group. And this echoes what China did in 2020," Chang said.
