The UK government told TikTok the "strictly confidential" name of the UK's next ambassador to China before the appointment was confirmed, Business Insider reported citing documents. UK's DIT asked a senior TikTok official to be "discreet" about Caroline Wilson's selection as Britain's representative to China. UK lawmakers have said the government now has "serious questions" to answer over this.
