    Unfortunately it doesn’t appear to be, I’ve listened to a bit (Cotton’s testimony starts around 2:20:50 in the linked video, citizenship bullshit comes up around 2:23:45) and Cotton asks the TikTok CEO what nation he’s a citizen of, if he’s ever applied for Chinese citizenship, does he have a Singaporean passport, does he have any other passports, if his wife and children are American citizens, if he’s ever applied for American citzenship, if hes ever been a member of the Chinese communist party, and if he’s ever been associated or affiliated with the Chinese communist party, before launching off into questions about the Tiananmen Square massacre and the genocide of Uyghurs, but no mention of Japan or Korea that I heard

    Still pretty jaw dropping racism by Cotton to ask the Asian guy over and over and over whether he’s an agent of the Chinese Communist Party but never ask anyone else up there about that
