Source: The new executive order of the Global Times reviews more extensively.The future risks still cannot be ignored.Our reporter Ni Haoli Qiaoyi, the Biden government of the United States, announced on the 9th that the ban on TikTok, WeChat and other Chinese applications would be abolished and replaced by a new executive order for more extensive security review of foreign software.A number of insiders interviewed by the Global Times on the 10th said that Biden's act of completely abolishing the previous government's administrative order is rare, but the US government's containment of Chinese enterprises will not stop, the US side will still "leave a hand" on Chinese enterprises, and the new order may be more extensive in the review of Chinese enterprises.Next, Chinese enterprises may have a hard fight to fight in the United States."A positive step in the right direction" On the 9th local time, US President Biden signed an executive order to revoke the ban on TikTok, WeChat, Alipay, QQ Wallet and other Chinese software applications imposed by former President Trump during his tenure.Instead, a new executive order requires the US Department of Commerce to evaluate applications related to "foreign competitors" and "take action as appropriate".As of the press release of the Global Times, none of the Chinese companies involved in Biden's executive order had made a public response.Gao Feng, a spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce of China, said at the press conference on the afternoon of the 10th that Biden's revocation of the previous government's relevant administrative orders against TikTok, WeChat and other Chinese applications was a positive step in the right direction.After the release of Biden's administrative order to lift TikTok and WeChat, Yingzhuo Law Firm, founded by American Chinese lawyers, said on the WeChat official account that this meant that in the past nearly a year, the WeChat ban war led by the WeChat Users' Federation of the United States had won.On August 6, 2020, Trump issued a ban on WeChat and TikTok for threatening the national security of the United States.On August 14 of the same year, Trump required BTB to sell or divest the company's TikTok business in the United States within 90 days.On August 21, five Chinese lawyers in the United States established the WeChat Users Federation of the United States to sue Trump for his administrative order against WeChat.Later, TikTok also announced that it would formally prosecute the US government of Truman.Later, the federal courts in San Francisco and Washington respectively suspended the Trump government's injunctions against WeChat and TikTok.Lawyer Zhu Keliang, founder of the WeChat Users Federation of the United States, said in an interview with the Global Times on the 10th that the Biden government's decision to abolish the ban was correct, and that Chinese in the United States realized their original intention of protecting everyone's free use of WeChat through legal proceedings.Hu Qimu, the chief researcher of Sinosteel Economic Research Institute, also said that Biden's actions protected the commercial interests of TikTok's American partners to a certain extent and ensured their support for TikTok.More worries about the new executive order? In the decree published on the White House website, more space was used to explain Biden's new executive order, which authorized the Ministry of Commerce and other departments to conduct a more extensive review of applications operated abroad.Reuters said the order instructed the US Department of Commerce to "continuously assess" the security of any "key infrastructure or digital economy in the US
