We’re covering testimony by TikTok’s C.E.O. before U.S. lawmakers and the reconstruction of Ukraine. Shou Chew testified yesterday before the House Energy and Commerce Committee.Haiyun Jiang/The New York Times TikTok under fire in Washington TikTok has come to represent the growing divide between the U.S. and China over tech leadership and national security. The app, which has 150 million users in the U.S., has become a battleground in a technological cold war between the two countries, and yesterday U.S. lawmakers [blasted Shou Chew, TikTok’s chief executive, for more than five hours](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl_0kWP4QEAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMDMvMjMvdGVjaG5vbG9neS90aWt0b2staGVhcmluZy1jb25ncmVzcy1jaGluYS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJhZV8yMDIzMDMyNCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD04ODQ5MSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWFzaWEtcGFjaWZpYy1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMjg1ODYmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmQcFsQcZBKyBz5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).

He told lawmakers about TikTok’s plan to store American users’ data on U.S. soil and said the app didn’t censor posts at China’s behest. But his testimony [did not appear to calm lawmakers’ fears](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl_0kWP4RCAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tL2xpdmUvMjAyMy8wMy8yMy90ZWNobm9sb2d5L3Rpa3Rvay1oZWFyaW5nLWNvbmdyZXNzL3Rpa3Rva3MtY2VvLWZhaWxlZC10by1yZWR1Y2UtbWFueS1sYXdtYWtlcnMtY29uY2VybnM_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmFlXzIwMjMwMzI0Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTg4NDkxJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtYXNpYS1wYWNpZmljLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyODU4NiZzbWlkPXVybC1zaGFyZSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZBwWxBxkErIHPlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). The risks: China’s authoritarian government has sweeping control over tech companies and their data. ByteDance employees have obtained American users’ private data and [spied on journalists](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl_0kWP4QDAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMDMvMTcvdXMvcG9saXRpY3MvdGlrLXRvay1zcHlpbmctanVzdGljZS1kZXB0Lmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmFlXzIwMjMwMzI0Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTg4NDkxJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtYXNpYS1wYWNpZmljLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyODU4NiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZBwWxBxkErIHPlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). But U.S. officials have not declassified any evidence demonstrating a current risk of TikTok’s handing data from users’ phones to the Chinese government. What’s next: The threat of a ban looms if ByteDance refuses to sell the app. Yesterday, China said it would [oppose U.S. efforts to force a sale](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl_0kWP4QMAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMDMvMjMvYnVzaW5lc3MvY2hpbmEtZm9yY2VkLXNhbGUtdGlrdG9rLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmFlXzIwMjMwMzI0Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTg4NDkxJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtYXNpYS1wYWNpZmljLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyODU4NiZzbWlkPXVybC1zaGFyZSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZBwWxBxkErIHPlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA).

The World Bank figure is a substantial increase from its $349 billion estimate in September. Since then, Russia has stepped up attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure.
