| China will not accept US theft to implement Tik Tok |
Chinese government media have described the United States as a rogue state and the potential sale of Microsoft's social tik-tok app as a theft, saying that Beijing can defend itself if the deal succeeds.
Microsoft has announced plans to purchase Tik Tok apps in certain markets, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
President Donald Trump has commented on this as follows: It will be difficult to purchase only part of the app, but it still gives Microsoft CEO the green light.
Trump added that some big money must be paid into the US Treasury to make this deal possible.
Hu Xi Jin, editor-in-chief of the Chinese government-backed Global Times, described the move as overt theft, saying: President Trump is turning the great United States into a rogue state.
Washington criticized China's request to accuse Washington of collecting data on Americans and sending it to the Chinese government.
The Trump administration has threatened to ban Tok Tok, and Secretary of State (Mike Pompeo) said in an interview with Fox News: Before Microsoft announces plans to acquire Tok Tok, Trump will target the app to take action.
The Chinese newspaper, China Daily, highlighted the comments and urged potential US buyers to participate in the theft of certified Chinese technology.
In a review, the newspaper suggested that China could retaliate and that China would never accept theft from Chinese technology companies.
This article indicated that China has many options to respond if the US government takes the steps planned to anticipate the request, but it does not clarify how Beijing can respond.
Global Times wrote "Banning Tik Tok Reflects Washington Cheese", and Chinese newspapers used the article to accuse the United States of banning the application. Because he believes this poses a threat to American technology companies.
The article also mentioned a similar move to ban Chinese telecom equipment company Huawei from the United States.
Global Times said that these companies gave the American elite a sense of the crisis, which indicates that the large Chinese companies are able to achieve a leading position in the world in the field of technology.
In the ongoing tensions between the world's two largest economies, the United States has spoken of opposing Chinese technology companies. Some commentators have referred to the relationship as "the new Cold War", and technology has always been an important component of the conflict between the two countries. .
