TikTok's future in the US is uncertain as Chinese officials consider a proposal to address concerns over the app's data collection and security practices.

The proposal, which has been submitted to the Chinese government, aims to address concerns over TikTok's data collection practices and its ties to the Chinese Communist Party. The proposal would require TikTok to establish a new headquarters in the US and to appoint a new CEO who is not affiliated with the Chinese government.

The proposal has been met with skepticism by some US lawmakers, who have expressed concerns over TikTok's data collection practices and its potential ties to the Chinese government. However, others have welcomed the proposal as a step in the right direction towards addressing concerns over TikTok's security practices.

TikTok has faced increasing scrutiny over its data collection practices and its ties to the Chinese government. In 2020, the US government banned TikTok from being used on government-issued devices due to concerns over its data collection practices. Since then, TikTok has faced numerous lawsuits and investigations over its data collection practices.

The proposal is seen as a major development in the ongoing saga over TikTok's future in the US. While it is unclear whether the proposal will be accepted by the Chinese government, it is clear that TikTok's future in the US is uncertain.
