Ban on TikTok: China warns US amid pressures on app

As the US moves to legally ban TikTok across the country amid the House of Representatives passing a bill, China issued a warning about barring the ByteDance-owned platform saying it “come back to bite”.
US House of Representatives Wednesday passed a bill seeking to ban the video application. In the second phase, the bill will now move to the Senate for a vote.
AFP reported Wednesday quoting the Chinese foreign ministry as saying: “Although the United States has never found evidence that TikTok threatens US national security, it has not stopped suppressing TikTok.”
If the ban is imposed, the application will be removed from all the app stores across the country unless the parent company ByteDance sells its ownership.
“This kind of bullying behaviour that cannot win in fair competition disrupts companies’ normal business activity, damages the confidence of international investors in the investment environment, and damages the normal international economic and trade order,” the spokesperson Wang Webin stated.
