The pressure continues! The US Senate passed a bill banning the use of TikTok on government equipment

[Soo Yanqi, reporter of Global Network] According to the latest news from Axios News, the Guardian and other media on the 15th, the US Senate voted to pass the bill on Wednesday (15th) local time, prohibiting US federal government personnel from using TikTok on government issued equipment.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly responded to the US's recent unreasonable behavior of suppressing Chinese enterprises such as TikTok with "national security concerns".
China firmly opposes the US's usual practice of suppressing Chinese enterprises on the pretext of false information.
The screenshot of Axios News reported that the bill needs to be passed by the House of Representatives and then submitted to President Biden for approval.
The Guardian said that this was the latest move by the United States to crack down on Chinese companies when they were worried about their "national security risks".
TikTok data picture According to a previous report by NBC, on the 13th local time, several members of the United States from both parties proposed a bill in the House of Representatives and the Senate in an attempt to push the President of the United States to impose a ban on TikTok and other social media companies "from countries of concern" and prevent them from operating in the United States.
In addition, the comprehensive US media reported that since December, seven states, including Alabama, Utah, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas, Maryland and South Carolina, have announced that TikTok has been banned from state government equipment or networks.
For some time, the United States has been suppressing TikTok in the name of "national security".
Former President Trump of the United States issued an executive order in 2020 prohibiting TikTok from operating in the United States, but he lost in a series of court proceedings against the measure.
The current President Biden revoked Trump's series of executive orders in June last year and ordered the Ministry of Commerce to review the security problems caused by relevant applications.
According to Reuters, TikTok completed the migration of data information from American users to Oracle's servers in June this year, so as to address the concerns of American regulators about data integrity.
However, Brendan Carr, a member of the Federal Communications Commission, suggested that CFIUS take action to ban TikTok on the 1st of last month.
Mao Ning, spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, made a firm response to the unreasonable behavior of the US side to suppress Chinese enterprises such as TikTok with "national security concerns" at a regular press conference on November 16.
Mao Ning said that spreading false information and using it as an excuse to suppress Chinese enterprises has become a common practice of the US government, which China firmly opposes.
The United States should take a responsible approach and earnestly respect and abide by fair, open and non discriminatory international rules.
