India banned TikTok (without the option to divest) and everything was fine. And they didn't limit the ban to TikTok:

"TikTok wasn’t a one-off case. Today, India has banned over 500 Chinese apps to date." [1]

If ByteDance won't sell, let them shutdown. It is truly baffling to me that anyone would defend a company's right to operate freely in the U.S. when it is controlled by a brutal autocracy that is also an emerging adversary.
