Xinhua International News Review: "Hunting" TikTok, another "peak" of American "Pirate Economics"

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 28: "Hunting" TikTok, another "peak" of American "pirate economics", Xinhua News Agency reporter Han Bing, the Federal District Court of the District of Columbia, ruled on the 27th that the implementation of the U.S.
government's administrative order to remove TikTok, an Internet short video social networking platform, from the U.S.
mobile application store was suspended.
This is a relatively objective decision of the United States District Court.
Recently, the fact that TikTok was overtly suppressed and coerced by the US government exposed the US government's hegemony behavior of power supremacy and extortion to the world again.
The American "Pirate Economics" is also the "peak" of its work.
Its mean means and explicit manipulation are heinous.
From coercing TikTok to transact with relevant US enterprises to forcing TikTok to get off the shelf, the US side has always been under the guise of "national security".
However, the facts have proved that the so-called "national security" threat is completely a blatant lie that some American politicians have lied for political self-interest.
It is a political manipulation that disregards the facts and is deceptive.
In recent days, even American public opinion has pointed out that the US side's accusations against TikTok have never been confirmed by any evidence.
Barry Diller, an American media tycoon, said frankly that the US side's response to TikTok was unreasonable from any perspective.
Even officials from Germany and other US allies have made it clear that they have not found any signs that TikTok poses a threat to national security.
However, the US side is unreasonable and willful, brandishing the stick of economic hegemony and wantonly "hunting" TikTok.
This fully reveals that some people in the United States believe in the philosophy that power is paramount and the logic of acting is the law of the jungle.
Their bullying style shows the American "Pirate Economics" vividly.
The United States adheres to the principles of fair competition and market economy, and has long dressed itself as a defender of fair competition and market economy.
Today, the TikTok incident fully demonstrates the true face of the US side's adherence to "double standards", and makes the world fully understand the hypocrisy of the US side.
The calculation of the US side is that when it is in the leading position, it will be the so-called fair competition, and the market will be the the final say of which wins or loses;
When they are likely to be surpassed or lose their absolute advantage, they should offer various flags, use the national machinery, interfere and suppress competitors in all directions, and even plunder technology and brands wantonly, taking advantage of them by unscrupulous means.
From the past suppression of the Japanese semiconductor industry to the dismemberment of Alstom, a representative enterprise in the French manufacturing industry, to the current targeting of Huawei, TikTok and other Chinese enterprises in the field of communications and the Internet, the American side's "modern pirates" have been exposed.
TikTok transaction under US coercion is by no means a pure commercial transaction.
All parties concerned should be alert to the trap, rhythm and step by step pressure set by the US side.
China will also continue to take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
The human race has entered the 21st century, and the era does not allow the American "pirate economics" to act recklessly.
The "modern pirates" who advocate unilateral hegemony are no longer in the "jungle era" of the jungle, and no force has the power to dominate development.
Self respect and practice
