Hongde International is reported that in recent times, U.S. politicians have repeatedly used "national security" and other excuses to suppress and restrict TikTok.
U.S. politicians: Selling to U.S. companies prevents TikTok from being completely banned in the U. S.
According to a report by the Financial Times on January 2, Republican Representative Mike Gallagher of the U.S. Congress said that the sale of TikTok, a social media company owned by China ByteDance, to a U.S. company would prevent the company from being completely banned in the United States. use.
Gallagher said on the 1st local time that the bill would allow TikTok to be sold to an American company, calling it a "viable solution".
House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy said Gallagher would be appointed to head a new "China select committee" to push Washington to take a tougher stance on Beijing when the new Congress is sworn in as House speaker this week.
Gallagher, a former Marine intelligence officer, has become one of the main China hawks on Capitol Hill since he was first elected to Congress in 2016, the Financial Times said.
At the end of December 2022, according to Reuters, the executive branch of the U.S. House of Representatives notified all members and staff on December 27 local time that the TikTok application must be removed from official devices.
The House executive branch's move mimics a bill already passed in the U.S. Congress that bans the use of TikTok apps on devices issued by the U.S. government, the report said. The bill will take effect when President Biden signs it into law.
Earlier, several states in the United States, including Alabama, Utah, Tennessee and Oklahoma, have announced that TikTok has been banned on state government devices or networks.
According to Reuters, the chief administrative officer of the House of Representatives claimed in a message sent to all members and staff on the 27th local time that "due to some security issues", TikTok is considered "high-risk" and must be removed from all devices managed by the House of Representatives. Remove the app.
The report also said that the message sent to staff also said that anyone using TikTok on their devices will be contacted to delete the app and prohibit re-downloading in the future.
In addition, Mike Gallagher (Mike Gallagher), the Republican politician who is about to become chairman of the House of Representatives "China Special Committee", put a big hat of "digital fentanyl" on TikTok in a recent interview with the US media, saying that the app was an "addictive drug" fed by the Chinese government to Americans ".
Judging from CNN's report, Gallagher threw out this statement in an interview with NBC (NBC). He called TikTok "highly addictive" and "highly disruptive" and would have a "toxic" effect on long-term users of the app-especially "young American men and women".
He also highlighted the so-called "connection" between the social app, developed by China's "ByteDance" company, and the Chinese government, thus arguing that the United States should "block" TikTok to prevent the Chinese government from "beautifying" China through TikTok propaganda or gaining access to the "privacy" of Americans ".
However, CNN pointed out that there is no evidence to prove Gallagher's allegations against TikTok.
In response to the US remarks, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said at a regular press conference as early as November 16 that it has become a common practice of the US government to spread false information and use it as an excuse to suppress relevant Chinese enterprises. China firmly opposes this. The United States should adopt a responsible approach and earnestly respect and abide by fair, open and non-discriminatory international rules.
In addition to TikTok, the United States recently announced that 36 Chinese companies will be included in the trade blacklist.
The U.S. Department of Commerce issued an announcement on December 15, announcing the inclusion of 36 Chinese entities in the "entity list", including advanced memory chip company Changjiang Storage and its Japanese subsidiary, lithography machine manufacturer Shanghai Microelectronics, artificial intelligence chip company Cambrian, etc.
Without permission, U.S. companies are not allowed to supply U.S. goods, technology and services to listed companies. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) stated that the U.S. Department of Commerce adopts the principle of "presumed refusal" for most entities in the "Entity List", that is, in principle, it refuses to approve the license. Being included in the list means that the company enters the "blacklist". It is impossible to obtain the items and technologies listed in the "Export Administration Regulations" from the United States.
A spokesman for China's Ministry of Commerce said on December 16 that the US side's frequent inclusion of Chinese enterprises in the "entity list" interferes with the normal economic and trade exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and American enterprises, violates market laws, undermines market rules and international economic and trade order, affects the stability of the global industrial chain and supply chain, and harms the interests of global peaceful development. China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and institutions.
However, while the US Department of Commerce "hacked" 36 Chinese entities, it removed another 25 Chinese companies from the "unverified list.
According to Reuters, the removal from the "unverified list" means that US exporters do not need to undergo additional investigations before supplying relevant Chinese companies.
In response, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said that he had taken note of the US move and China welcomed it. The US move shows that the two sides can resolve specific relations through communication on the basis of mutual respect. (WeChat Public Number: Hongde International Freight, Global Easy GO)
