At the White House press conference on the 3rd, President Trump not only blatantly threatened that TikTok must sell to the United States before September 15, but also made an excuse for this forced buying and selling.According to the British Guardian, Trump said at the press conference that he believed that Microsoft or other companies, after completing the transaction with TikTok, must pay a large part of the money to the US Treasury, and implied that the US government was the "landlord" of this Chinese application platform.The Guardian reported that Trump suggested that the US government was the "landlord" of Chinese social media applications.After threatening to "ban TikTok", Trump said on the 2nd that Microsoft or other US companies must acquire TikTok before September 15.At the press conference on the 3rd, Trump blatantly threatened that TikTok must be sold to the United States before September 15, or it must be closed, and a considerable part of the transaction money must be handed over to the US Treasury."It's like landlord and tenant.If we don't rent (the place), the tenant will not have value.To some extent, we are a leasing relationship.It is we who make this great success possible." Trump said, "TikTok has achieved great success, but a large part of it is in this country." Trump also said that the US government should obtain funds from this transaction: "No matter what the number is, it will come from this transaction." "Nobody will think of this except me," he added."But that's what I think.It's fair." In recent days, the United States government, together with business tycoons, threatened and forced TikTok to attract international attention.German news television pointed out on the 3rd that the TikTok incident is another symbol of American economic power.Enterprises in Germany, France and many other European countries have also been investigated by the United States.Russian media and scholars suggested that Russia follow the "experience" of the United States and ban American social media operating in Russia.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on the 3rd that the US side has generalized the concept of national security, made a "presumption of guilt" against relevant enterprises and threatened them without any evidence.This violates the principles of market economy, exposes the hypocrisy and typical double standards of the US side in maintaining fairness and freedom, and violates the principles of openness, transparency and non discrimination of the WTO.China firmly opposes this.
