I've always wondered what would happen if ByteDance sells TikTok for $5 to a US Citizen who frequently visits China for lavish vacations, and that US Citizen decide to keep all the algorithms the same.

If China has an ulterior motive with TIkTok, can't they just find a US Citizen to carry out their ulterior motive?

No. The bill is quite specific about that.
