NEW: researchers say #TikTok screen time predicts level of pro-#China views on key topics.
Why? They say #TikTok boosts pro-#China content & actively suppress criticisms of China.
E.g. they find sensitive topics like #Taiwan, persecution of #Uyghurs & #Tibet are buried by pro-#CCP influencer content & irrelevant vids.
