BEIJING - The United States ambassador to China said on March 15 that Beijing’s position on a potential TikTok ban in the United States was “supremely ironic”, given the ruling Communist Party’s censorship of online platforms within its borders.that would force the wildly popular short-video app to break with its Chinese parent company or face a nationwide ban.
“They won’t even let TikTok be available to 1.4 billion Chinese,” he said in response to a question about the avenues for American public diplomacy in China. Many Western platforms, including Google, Facebook and Instagram, are blocked from operating in the country. Some Western governments have voiced concern about TikTok’s soaring popularity, alleging that the app’s ownership makes it subservient to Beijing – a claim TikTok denies.
