Hua Zhang, a commentator on China.com, talks about "rules" and "order", while he works secretly as a bandit.A few days ago, the United States once again threatened ByteDance to sell TikTok, which showed the usual trick of taking advantage of others and the ugly face of hegemonism in the United States.On January 2, Mike Gallagher, an American Republican politician who is about to become the chairman of the "China Special Committee" of the House of Representatives, made a bizarre remark in an interview with the media, saying that TikTok, a subsidiary of the Chinese enterprise ByteDance, is a "digital fentanyl" and an "addictive drug" that the Chinese government has fed Americans, and the United States should "ban" it.What a strange thing! From paper media to television stations, from television stations to online media, and from traditional online media to today's mobile social media, the United States, with its technological advantages, is a pioneer or even leader in every media revolution.Before the birth of TikTok, the United States had social media giants such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and Twitter.If we say that we are poisoning the minds of young people, it is these American companies that bear the brunt.In fact, in the American society without supervision, toxic content such as drugs, religious extremist ideas, sexual crimes and racial discrimination has indeed been widely disseminated through American social media for many years, inducing young people to go astray.The American media has reported this for a long time, but it has not been paid enough attention by the American government.How come these long neglected problems suddenly become important when Chinese enterprises come? Has it become the "original sin" of Chinese companies? Another remark by Gallagher gives the answer.He said that he was "open" to selling TikTok to American companies, but "the details of the transaction determine the success or failure".Coincidentally, a few days ago, the Wall Street Journal of the United States quoted insiders as saying that, out of concern about TikTok's "security problems", some officials of the Committee on Foreign Investment (CFIUS) of the United States are trying to force the app to sell its American business to ensure that "China cannot use the app for spying and political influence".After discrediting Chinese enterprises for several times, the US government finally tried to be extremely impotent.The so-called "Internet addiction" and "national security" are just excuses of the US side.Their real purpose is to buy and sell, and transfer the assets and brands belonging to Chinese companies to American companies.This is not the first time TikTok faces the risk of being forced to sell.In August 2020, then US President Trump signed an executive order requiring ByteDance to divest TikTok's business in the US within 90 days.Trump declared at that time that the company may take actions that "threaten the national security of the United States".Subsequently, ByteDance sued the US government.Although the current President Biden lifted the ban on TikTok a year later, he also asked the US Department of Commerce to evaluate applications related to "foreign competitors" and "take action as appropriate".This is also the foreshadowing for the US side to make a comeback and take action against TikTok again.Aiming at the ability of suppressing, crowding out, even deliberately framing and persecuting foreign enterprises with the intention of dismembering and acquiring their assets,
