If you count being forced to be sold to a western country to operate in that country like happened with tiktok as enshittification so you have this one.(I actually don’t even know if they got worse since I never used)
Definitely counts as enshittification, tiktok is considerably worse now. But it’s notable that it’s the sale of the company OUT of China that results in it. Would be quite interesting to see if this happens with anything that’s sold in future internally in China. I’m not even sure if such a sale would be accepted or go through, what barriers would happen internally with the structure etc.
