THANK YOU. ALL THESE INDIVIDUALS WORK OR ARE AFFILIATED WITH THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY AND ARE AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS AT BYTEDANCE, A COMPANY WHERE YOU PREVIOUSLY SERVED AS THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, AND WHERE YOU REGULARLY COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR CEO. TIKTOK HAS TOLD US THAT YOU ARE NOT SHARING DATA WITH THE CCP, WHAT LEAKED AUDIO FROM WITHIN TIKTOK HAS PROVEN OTHERWISE. TIKTOK TOLD US THAT YOU WERE NOT TRACKING THE GEOLOCATION OF AMERICAN CITIZENS. YOU ARE. TIKTOK TOLD US YOU WERE NOT SPYING ON JOURNALISTS. YOU WERE. IN YOUR TESTIMONY, YOU STATE THAT BYTEDANCE IS NOT BEHOLDEN TO THE CCP. AGAIN, EACH OF THE INDIVIDUALS I LISTED ARE AFFILIATED WITH THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY INCLUDING SONG COOPING, WHO WAS REPORTED TO BE THE COMMUNIST PARTY SECRETARY OF BIDEN'S, AND HAS CALLED FOR THE -- TO TAKE THE LEAD ACROSS ALL PARTY LINES TO ENSURE THAT ALGORITHM IS ENFORCED BY, QUOTE, CORRECT POLITICAL DIRECTION. JUST THIS MORNING, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL REPORTED THAT THE CCP IS OPPOSED TO A FORCED SALE OF TIKTOK BY BYTEDANCE, QUOTING A CCP SPOKESMAN AS SAYING THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT WOULD MAKE A DECISION REGARDING ANY SALE OF TIKTOK. SO THE CCP BELIEVES THEY HAVE THE FINAL SAY OVER YOUR COMPANY. I HAVE ZERO CONFIDENCE IN YOUR ASSERTION THAT BIDEN AND TIKTOK ARE NOT BEHOLDEN TO THE CCP. NEXT QUESTION. HEATING CONTENT IS A WAY OF PROMOTING AND MODERATING CONTENT. IN YOUR CURRENT OR PREVIOUS POSITIONS WITHIN CHINESE COMPANIES, HAVE EMPLOYEES ENGAGED IN HEATING CONTENT FOR USERS OUTSIDE OF CHINA? YES, OR NO.
