The legislation received wide bipartisan support, with both Republicans and Democrats showing an eagerness to appear tough on China.

The House on Wednesday passed a bill with broad bipartisan support that would force TikTok’s Chinese owner to either sell the hugely popular video app or be banned in the United States.
