Allene Jue used to vote in a simple, rapid manner -- scan the names on the ballot and pick the Asian sounding names.

Chew’s sees him football games, visiting and London, Nashville hot chicken, or boating on a lake, often with generic captions. (“Love the outdoors!”) Users have noticed: “Bro the TikTok ceo with 41 likes,” one person commented on his video of the outdoors. “Shout out to this small creator,” another wrote.

Chew is expected to make the case to the American people that selling TikTok to a U.S. company would not address national security concerns. A sale would face other obstacles. Few companies could ...
