In a surprising turn of events, Donald Trump is getting the credit he deserves for what he said about China’s TikTok app when he was president. Senator Mark Warren (D-VA) is sounding the alarm that the popular app could pose digital security risks.

Warner was in Australia with local officials to talk about what the Epoch Times called a scary “technological domination that the Chinese regime is exerting over other countries.” He both sounded the alarm and said he regretted not giving the former president the credit he deserved.

“This is not something you would normally hear me say, but Donald Trump was right on TikTok years ago,” he said. “If your country uses Huawei, if your kids are on TikTok, if your population uses WeChat as a social media platform, the ability for China to have undue influence is, I think, a much greater challenge and a much more immediate threat than any kind of actual, armed conflict.”

Warner added: “China having this kind of technology domination in a number of countries ought to scare the heck out of us because we’ve seen the kind of Orwellian surveillance state they’ve already created within China.”
