Source: www.global.com [reported by www.global.com] According to Reuters, the executive branch of the US House of Representatives notified all members and staff on the 27th local time that TikTok applications must be deleted from official equipment.According to the report, the executive branch of the House of Representatives imitated a bill passed by the US Congress, which prohibits the use of TikTok applications on equipment issued by the US government.The relevant bill will take effect after President Biden of the United States signed it into law.Previously, several states in the United States, including Alabama, Utah, Tennessee and Oklahoma, have announced that TikTok is disabled on state government equipment or networks.According to Reuters, the Chief Executive Officer of the House of Representatives said in a message sent to all members and staff on the 27th local time, "because of some security problems," TikTok was considered "high-risk" and must delete the application from all equipment managed by the House of Representatives.The report also said that the information sent to the staff also said that anyone who used TikTok on their device would be contacted to delete the application and would be prohibited from downloading it again in the future.ByteDance has always denied that TikTok has data security problems.However, American politicians still frequently hype that TikTok has a so-called "national security" problem recently.On the 26th, the Wall Street Journal of the United States quoted sources familiar with the matter as saying that, out of concern about TikTok's "security problems", some officials of CFIUS are trying to make this app sell its American business to ensure that "China cannot use this app for spying and political influence".In this regard, the experts interviewed by the Global Times on the 27th believed that the problems TikTok faced mainly stemmed from Sino US relations, rather than commercial aspects.A series of recent developments show that the United States' difficulties with TikTok may be further intensified.As for the US's suppression of TikTok, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said on November 16 that it has become the US's usual practice to spread false information and use it as an excuse to suppress Chinese enterprises.China firmly opposes this and hopes that the US side will take a more responsible approach to earnestly respect and abide by fair, open and non discriminatory international rules.
