A former executive at TikTok’s parent company ByteDance has claimed in court documents that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had access to TikTok data, despite the data being stored in the US. The allegations were made in a wrongful dismissal lawsuit which was filed in May in the San Francisco Superior Court.

Yes it is an "assumption" with Chinese companies, but the broken part is where US companies have been caught selling private information not only to 3rd parties but also to the US government. This TikTok evidence still needed to see cross-examination in court as the person stating it, was an ex-employee. We can't say it has not happened, but I prefer to judge after something is actual court evidence.
