Reuters mentioned that the statement he made on the 3rd was consistent with his earlier remarks. Last month, he said the Trump administration was considering banning apps that “could gather personal confidence and pose potential risks to national security.”
CNBC said that from Huawei to Bytedance, Washington is launching a campaign against Chinese technology giants.
Last month, U.S. President Trump signed an executive order requiring ByteDance to divest any tangible and intangible assets that enable TikTok to operate in the United States within 90 days, and gave Bytedance the well-worn reasons for its 2017 acquisition. The American video application Musical.ly is characterized as having the risk of “endangering national security”. As the ban deadline approaches, the details of the sale of TikTok’s business in the United States have attracted increasing attention. According to a Reuters report on the 2nd, potential buyers of TikTok are discussing four acquisition options with ByteDance, including excluding key algorithms from the acquisition.
However, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying previously stated that on the TikTok and Wechat issues, the relevant policies and measures attempted by the United States have nothing to do with national security, but are the slaughter, bullying and robbery of Chinese companies. , which is essentially a government-coerced transaction. China urges the United States to correct its mistakes and stop unreasonably suppressing Chinese companies. China's Ministry of Commerce spokesperson Gao Feng also responded to the United States' "blocking" of TikTok, saying that for a period of time, the United States has frequently used the so-called "national security" and "national emergencies" as excuses to restrict or even prohibit Chinese companies from carrying out normal investment and operations in the United States. activities, imposing transaction bans on Chinese companies on trumped-up charges, which has no factual and legal basis, seriously damages the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises, and seriously violates the basic principles of market economy.
It is worth noting that the day before Meadows made these remarks (on the 2nd), India's "Economic Times" reported on the evening of the 2nd that the Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology on that day "damaged India's sovereignty and territorial integrity. It announced the ban on 118 mobile apps developed by Chinese companies on the grounds that they threaten India’s defense, national security and public order. So far, the Indian government has banned 224 Chinese apps. In response, Gao Feng said at a regular press conference on September 3, "India has abused the concept of 'national security' and adopted discriminatory restrictive measures against Chinese companies, violating relevant WTO rules." He said that the Chinese government has always demanded that China Overseas companies abide by international rules and operate legally and compliantly. The relevant practices of India not only harm the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese investors and service providers, but also harm the interests of Indian consumers and the investment environment of India as an open economy.
