Tiktok has been in the news frequently recently, also because of the renewed dispute between China and the United States. According to U.S. official media reports, in the fierce moment when TikTok is forced to be sold or banned in the United States, the performance of TikTok executives is crucial, because Zhou Shouzi went to Capitol Hill to testify, and he is no longer just a technology service company. Life and death are also staged one after another at a time when international competition is becoming increasingly fierce.
China’s Ministry of Commerce Spokesperson Shu Jueting gave a positive answer to this incident. Ignoring the products and services themselves, ignoring the wishes of the company, and forcing the sale of TikTok will seriously damage the country, including China. Investors from various countries have confidence in investing in the United States. If the United States indeed takes actions that restrict the fair development of multinational companies, China will firmly oppose it.
Although ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, is from China, it has gradually developed into a multinational enterprise. Regarding the most accused information security issue in the United States, he said, “More than 150 million Americans like our platform” and TikTok promised that “it will put safety – especially the safety of teenagers – first” – quoted from the Global Times .
