Here’s the latest at the end of Thursday. TikTok’s C.E.O., Shou Chew, struggled to cast the app as entirely independent from China.Haiyun Jiang/The New York Times 1. Lawmakers lambasted TikTok’s chief executive about the platform’s ties to China. The members of a House panel questioning Shou Chew, the video app’s C.E.O., appeared unconvinced by his insistence that American user data would be out of reach of the Chinese government. In an often scathing five-hour hearing today, the lawmakers [accused TikTok of threatening U.S. national security and harming adolescents](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl_1GGP0TlaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vbGl2ZS8yMDIzLzAzLzIzL3RlY2hub2xvZ3kvdGlrdG9rLWhlYXJpbmctY29uZ3Jlc3M_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyMzAzMjMmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9ODg0OTUmbmw9ZXZlbmluZy1icmllZmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTI4NTkzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkCYbMHGTLzUaLUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). Republican and Democratic lawmakers repeatedly asked Chew if TikTok — which is owned by Chinese internet giant ByteDance and used by 150 million Americans — was spying on Americans on behalf of the Chinese government. Chew insisted that a program that would [store the data of American users on domestic servers](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl_1GGP4QSAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tL2xpdmUvMjAyMy8wMy8yMy90ZWNobm9sb2d5L3Rpa3Rvay1oZWFyaW5nLWNvbmdyZXNzL3doYXQtaXMtdGlrdG9rcy1wcm9qZWN0LXRleGFzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjMwMzIzJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTg4NDk1Jm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyODU5MyZzbWlkPXVybC1zaGFyZSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZAmGzBxky81Gi1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) would protect their information, but the Biden administration has rejected the proposal. The popular app has become a battleground in a technological cold war, with American threats of a TikTok ban in some ways mirroring how China has long blocked many American platforms.

New York City has spent millions converting upscale hotels into migrant shelters. In order to provide temporary housing for some of the 50,000 migrants who have arrived on buses from the southern border since last spring, city officials have [renovated about 100 hotels and office buildings](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl_1GGP0ToaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMy8yMy9ueXJlZ2lvbi9ueWMtaG90ZWxzLWhvbWVsZXNzLXNoZWx0ZXJzLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyMzAzMjMmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9ODg0OTUmbmw9ZXZlbmluZy1icmllZmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTI4NTkzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkCYbMHGTLzUaLUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). The effort may ultimately cost as much as $4 billion over the next two years and could result in cuts to city services, the mayor has warned. The effort has been a kind of boon for hotels, some of which have struggled even as the pandemic has waned. In October, the city signed a $40 million contract to buy out all 1,300 rooms of the Row NYC hotel until mid-April, making it the first of several Midtown hotels that now solely house migrant families.

The prevalence was roughly 4 percent in boys and 1 percent in girls. The rise does not necessarily mean that autism has become more common among children, and could be due to increased awareness and screening. It was especially sharp among Black, Hispanic, and Asian or Pacific Islander children; for the first time, autism was significantly more prevalent among 8-year-olds in these groups than in white children. In other health news, colon cancer is rising among younger adults.
