At least according to their website, it seems like US data does not leave US data warehouses: https://usds.tiktok.com/our-approach-to-keeping-u-s-data-sec...

I don’t know the details of course but if China wants the data there are umpteen companies who engage in data brokerage and can get the info they want.

I’m not for or against this bill, but it seems like really the issue is data collection in general, which obviously the Congress has no interest in regulating.
