> Many of the concessions the government asked of TikTok look eerily similar to the surveillance tactics critics have accused Chinese officials of abusing.

I support a domestic ban on TikTok, and this is embarrassing. You're not supposed to be worse than the country you say is spying on your citizens. This undermines any moral authority they could claim, and makes their argument look like: "we want to ban you because we can't stand anyone doing a better job spying on Americans than us".
