“It is critical that this country not use apps that are made in China, or that can take our data and go to servers in China,” said White House trade adviser Peter Navarro.

The US government will go after more Chinese-made apps following earlier crackdowns on TikTok and WeChat, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said, as short video sensation TikTok heads toward a forced sale of its US operations.

“And that’s really the policy position underlying why we have gone after TikTok and WeChat, and there will be others because China … is basically going out around the world trying to acquire technology and influence.” Amid an escalating trade and tech stand-off between Beijing and Washington, US President Donald Trump issued executive orders last month banning unspecified transactions with TikTok-owner ByteDance and WeChat’s parent company Tencent Holdings.

Why China’s new tech export rules add to US TikTok sale uncertaintyZhao Lijian, a spokesman for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, criticised recent US actions in a statement on Monday, saying that they were “tricks of economic bullying and political manipulation that the US played on non-American companies”.
