Yes?

> While banning TikTok is not fair to me, saying Google isn't banned in China is lying.

No. You are lying or you are dense. Google operated in china til 2010 or so. It tried to foment a color revolution in china like google did throughout north africa, middle east, ukraine, etc. So china instituted more stringent laws to reign in google. Google chose to leave china because the laws would prevent them from spying and destabilizing china.

So you could call it "banned" if you like, but it isn't "banning" in the same sense as tiktok being banned.
