I disagree with the premise. Supposedly, Carr continues to run Trump's agenda, but then it would banning TikTok for the reason that the social network was used to organise anti-Trump activities during the last elections.

Trump's most clever political tactic is to be a hypocrite and exceptionally effective liar: his agenda is always a superposition of contradictory claims. Even the GOP couldn't keep up and decided to forgo any semblance of a political platform for 2020 [1].
Despite the lies, there's a few consistent policy themes that emerged from his presidency. Notably, is a broad, across-the-board, blanket opposition to everything China. This includes decidedly not Chinese things, such as racism and condoning violence against Asian Americans [2] It also extends to economic opposition at all costs.
*Here* is the central truth behind Carr's statement. It's a continuation of the Republican party's current strong anti-Chinese policy.
