They basically do, as revealed by Snowden documents when the US forced American companies like AT&T, Microsoft, or Google to let them spy on their users. I don't even think Tik Tok stores their user data in China servers, it's in Texas or Virginia or Singapore.

Well then yeah maybe the EU should ban them. Thats up to them, but I would totally understand it if they did.

As for TikTok’s user data, it doesn’t matter where it’s geographically stored. ByteDance has unfettered access to the data regardless, which means the CCP has unfettered access to it.
