    You won’t just stop the maintenance if TikTok didn’t exist. It’s not like all China cares about is data.

    Your question was “why would China get data from TikTok when they can just buy it from Meta”. If China didn’t get the data from ByteDance, ByteDance still incurs the maintenance fee. So no, that is not the expense of getting the data.
