from the language of the now-signed bill/law [1]:

  (4) FOREIGN ADVERSARY COUNTRY.—The term “foreign adversary country” means a country specified in section 4872(d)(2) of title 10, United States Code.
10 USC 4872(d)(2) [2]:

  (2) Covered nation.—The term “covered nation” means—
      (A) the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea;
      (B) the People’s Republic of China;
      (C) the Russian Federation; and
      (D) the Islamic Republic of Iran.
in other words—the law is and will continue to be express about which "foreign adversary countries" cannot operate and/or control ByteDance.
