McCarthy says he expects US House will pass legislation to address TikTok

u.s. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Friday he thinks lawmakers will pass bipartisan legislation to address concerns raised by Chinese-owned short video app TikTok and called the testimony of the company's CEO "very concerning."

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew appeared before a U.S. House Committee for about five hours Thursday and grilled by lawmakers from both parties about national security and other concerns about the app used by 150 million Americans. "Here's a CEO that can't tell you that China's not spying on the data," McCarthy said.
