China accused the US of piracy

A day after the US Congress passed a draft law banning TikTok in the country, Beijing promised to take the necessary measures to respond.

According to the report of AFP, meanwhile, the head of the TikTok platform, Xu Zixiu, confirmed that he is defending his program and asked the 170 million Americans who are users of this program to hear his voice.

Shu Zixiu wrote to netizens: “We will not stop defending you and will continue to do everything in our power, including using our legal rights to protect this wonderful platform we have built with you. .

China promised to take all necessary measures to protect the interests of its companies abroad and accused Washington of following the logic of bandits.

The spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said that Beijing will take all necessary measures to resolutely protect its legitimate rights and interests.

Wang Wenbin, the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in response to a question about the approval of the bill to ban TikTok in the United States: When someone sees something good in another person and tries to take it for himself, this is definitely the logic of bandits. The approval of this draft law puts the United States in front of the principles of fair competition and international economic and commercial rules.

This law puts 300,000 jobs in the United States at risk and, in particular, threatens to deprive the small companies associated with TikTok of billions of dollars in revenue.

A number of US officials claim that the short and entertaining video platform allows Beijing to spy on citizens. The company has repeatedly denied handing over information to Chinese authorities and confirmed that it would deny any such potential request.
