CloseUS Senator Tom Cotton repeatedly asked Shou Zi Chew, the CEO of Chinese-owned social media app TikTok, about his links to the Chinese Communist Party, despite Mr Chew repeatedly asserting that he is Singaporean at a hearing in Washington DC on Wednesday.

In this minute-long exchange, Mr Cotton asks Mr Chew about his citizenship, passport and whether he is a member of the CCP, to which he replies "Senator, I'm Singaporean. No."

TikTok is owned by Chinese company ByteDance.

Mr Chew denies his company has ever shared or received a request to share US users' data with the Chinese government.
