TikTok: never give up exploring any possibility

Article | Who could have imagined that Li Yao, a reporter of Financial National Weekly, had also encountered a series of ban pressures from the US market.
At the beginning of July, the Trump government announced that TikTok would be banned, because some American politicians believed that TikTok was at risk of "threatening national security" and "interfering in the American election".
In the face of such criticism, TikTok, who is mainly engaged in entertainment and leisure, may have ten thousand words of "making things out of nothing" in his heart.
But at the request of the White House, TikTok's parent company, Byte Beat, started to negotiate with Microsoft on the acquisition of TikTok.
One wave is not flat, another wave rises.
On the afternoon of July 29, Eastern Time, Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook attended the congressional antitrust hearing, during which Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, tried to describe his company as a "successful American story", but now it is "threatened" by China's social media applications, especially TikTok in the United States.
In addition, he tried to play up the "danger" of Chinese technology companies dominating the network field.
The data supporting Zuckerberg's description may be that TikTok has only entered the US market for more than two years.
It has broken through the competition with the major social giants in the United States.
The download volume has climbed to more than 165 million times along the way.
In the United States, 65 million to 80 million active users share videos every month.
In addition, according to US survey data, TikTok users over 18 years old spent up to 858 minutes of browsing each month, which means that a single user watched for more than 14 hours each month.
After the news that the Trump government would ban TikTok, a large number of young Americans launched the Twitter topic of "saving TikTok" (# SaveTiktok).
Some TikTok users also recorded videos, saying that if Trump really implemented the "ban", they would appear in the White House to confront Trump.
Even Claudia Conway, the 15-year-old daughter of U.S.
White House adviser Kelian Conway, joined in the "revenge" action.
With regard to the US side's practice of hyping up TikTok security issues and suppressing TikTok, at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on July 30, Beijing time, Wang Wenbin, a spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that the Chinese government has always required Chinese enterprises to conduct foreign economic cooperation on the basis of law and compliance.
Without any evidence, the US side made a presumption of guilt against Chinese enterprises and threatened them, exposing the hypocrisy of the US side's so-called maintenance of fairness and freedom, violating the principles of openness, transparency and non discrimination of the WTO, and not conducive to the interests of the American people and enterprises.
At 23:47 on August 2, Byte Beat released an update on its official account on the front page today, responded to a series of recent news, and named Facebook for plagiarism and defamation.
As the proposed acquirer of TikTok, Microsoft also released a statement on its official website on August 2, US Eastern Time, saying that after CEO Nelson Mandela had a dialogue with President Trump of the United States, Microsoft was ready to continue to promote the negotiation of purchasing TikTok's US business.
