What is the strategy here? Why does banning ByteDance from having offices in Canada do anything?
Could it be the start of a series of legislation to make it impossible to operate the app which would be more palatable to the public than a ban?
1: Ban presence in the country
2: Add data provision requirements that personal information be stored in the country.
3: TikTok can’t meet requirements? Well that’s on them, guess they can’t operate here.

> What is the strategy here
1. Show the current government is doing something after the CSE said the Canadian government has been breached by China's MSS [0]
2. A response to China for breaching Canada's systems.
3. A way to get a quick win to make bipartisan China hawks across the border in the US happy.
