Ties not just to “a company in China”, but directly to the Chinese government.

For better or worse, and how other US platforms operate, Tik Tok is controlled by a hostile (to the US) nation state.

Keep in mind that China also blocks many US company products/platforms for their own reasons, so this is not at all a surprise.
