Pompeo says people should only download the popular video app if they want their private information in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.

TikTok is owned by Beijing-based Byte-Dance, though the app has previously said it operates separately from them.

TikTok claims its data centers are located outside China and not subject to Chinese law.
