Residents in Shanghai criticized the U.S. on Friday for targeting TikTok, after the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a bill this week that would give the short video app's Chinese owner, ByteDance, about six months to divest the U.S. assets or face a ban.

U.S. officials have criticized TikTok's security and privacy, suggesting user data might be shared with Beijing, sparking national security concerns.

TikTok, used by about 170 million Americans, has said the firm has never shared, or received a request to share, U.S. user data with the Chinese government.

If passed by the Senate in its current form and signed into law by U.S. President Joe Biden, the bill would give ByteDance about six months to divest its U.S. assets.

It is unclear whether China would approve any sale or if TikTok's U.S. assets could be divested in six months.
