House lawmakers voted Wednesday to compel Chinese Communist Party-tied ByteDance to sell off TikTok within six months or face the popular social media app being banned in the US — amid elevated national security concerns and despite full-throated protests from fervent fans.

The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act passed the House, 352-65, easily overcoming the two-thirds requirement.

The bill now heads to the Senate, where its path is unclear — though it did receive a bipartisan boost from the top two lawmakers on the chamber’s intelligence committee.

If the bill becomes law, ByteDance would be required to spin off TikTok within 180 days. If that does not happen, companies like Google and Apple will be restricted from offering US-based web hosting or making TikTok available in app stores.

Additionally, the bill authorizes the Biden administration to prohibit apps linked to four adversary nations: China, Iran, North Korea and Russia. To ban those apps, government agencies must agree on the threat and must make evidence available to Congress.

More than 100 million Americans are estimated to use TikTok regularly, and the company has fought hard against the legislation, calling it a “total ban” in all but name.

“The government is attempting to strip 170 million Americans of their Constitutional right to free expression,” TikTok said in a statement last week.

“This will damage millions of businesses, deny artists an audience, and destroy the livelihoods of countless creators across the country.”

“Beijing’s unelected government has at different times spoken out against U.S. proposals to restrict or restructure TikTok,” Sean King, senior vice president at Park Strategists political consulting firm, explained to The Post.

“But that’s a little rich considering the People’s Republic of China itself outright bans Facebook, Twitter and heavily censors its own Internet providers.”

Despite that, Beijing lashed out at US lawmakers for considering the TikTok measure.

“In recent years, though the United States has never found any evidence of TikTok posing a threat to US national security, it has never stopped going after TikTok,” said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin.

President Biden, who signed a law in 2022 prohibiting TikTok on government devices except for certain law enforcement-related reasons, has indicated he will sign the bill if it passes the Senate.

“In recent years, though the United States has never found any evidence of TikTok posing a threat to US national security, it has never stopped going after TikTok,” said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin.

“We are united in our concern about the national security threat posed by TikTok — a platform with enormous power to influence and divide Americans whose parent company ByteDance remains legally required to do the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party,” Senate intelligence committee chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.) and vice chairman Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said in a joint statement.

“We were encouraged by today’s strong bipartisan vote in the House of Representatives,” Warner and Rubio added, “and look forward to working together to get this bill passed through the Senate and signed into law.”

The measure was proposed Reps. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.), the top Republican and Democrat on the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. The pair cited Beijing’s laws which stipulate that “all organizations and citizens shall support, assist, and cooperate with national intelligence efforts.”

In particular, national security experts are concerned about China gaining access to TikTok user browsing history, biometric identifiers, location data and more.

“You wouldn’t allow a radio tower owned by the Chinese to be put up right in the middle of Washington, DC, and then allow it to just put out Chinese propaganda,” Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) said before the vote.

“That’s exactly what TikTok can be used for because millions of Americans are addicted to it,” he added. “China can absolutely manipulate those algorithms.”

“Today we’re sending a message to the CCP that we are going to deflate the 140 million spy balloons that they have installed on American phones,” crowed Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-Iowa) from the House floor.
