The United States’ “bullying” of Chinese tech companies was a consequence of Washington’s zero-sum vision of “American first” and left China no choice but “submission or mortal combat in the tech realm”, the state-backed paper said in an editorial. Microsoft Corp said on Monday it was in talks with ByteDance to buy parts of TikTok after U.S. President Donald Trump reversed course on a plan to ban the app on national security grounds and gave the firms 45 days to strike a deal.
The Global Times newspaper, which is also government-backed, said U.S. treatment of ByteDance and Huawei Technologies [HWT.UL], now on a U.S. trade blacklist, was indicative of U.S. efforts to separate its economy from China’s.
Well did you know China has already been banning ALL US social media? Even Google? Who's the bad one? Both. So do not come to conclusions when you've not studied what's happening. At least the US is willing to pay to buy it from China.
China Then don’t sell it.
dont have to sell, just ban em
The Cold War is over. We’re already experiencing Hight Tech War and humans will be the major victims. G5 Tech combined with Quantum Computing = No more sovereignty, total control of humanity by AI... There are no time for hesitation...
We also have tech companies like Tesla, Microsoft, Apple making great money there, that's how free market works and must be sustained
Regardless of what Beijing does with Western Tiktok I cannot blame the Chinese saying it's theft, because it is Don't let yourself get played by random leaders with pp size issues Microsoft no matter which camp The other side is now Beijing knows how intellectual theft feels
Said the biggest thief of western technology. China should immediately ban Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and all US social media app in China.
China It's a robbery, not theft.

Its funny, china is so opposed to theft now after decades of perpetrating trillions of dollars of IP theft from the developed world via state sponsored industrial espionage.🤭

Tiktok short stopped a Trump rally. Pass it on
This is laughable. At least here, the robbers are leaving $$, even if underpaid, unlike the Chinese government's approach to US tech firms. 'Theft' is spot on when it comes to the Chinese government.
Is the US acting just like China does most times with foreign companies!
CCP is paper tiger
The thing is Chinese companies and the government are intertwined. Company owners are also ccp members; they would not be able to grow businesses in China without the support of the ccp and thus they have to do whatever the ccp tells them to do.
Like by accusing Apple stole Siri from China? Lol
Interesting..n scary at the same time. Think about it.
That could really be damaging. China is the world's single largest consumer. Just, if they decide all American business in China must be sold to Chinese owners. It will be dope.
All Tik Tok did was copy off of Vine and others. They're not special at all. Like most Chinese products, the idea was stolen from the west in the first place. They have no real skills of their own.
Just ban it and move on.
Can Microsoft Can't Build Up New.!
oh c'mon tell me about what decision the ccp is going to carry out 😃😃U.S.A. is so scary now
Why didn't they disclose at least one out of twenty
TikTok doesn't have to sell. They can just close down and leave the U.S. just as Google left China because of Chinese regulations.
Just ban it. Simple and clear.
Look at the picture below - TikTok parent company signing contract with the CCP's security propaganda department. Do you want the CCP knows your user info on TikTok?
Lol! US arbitrarily wants to ban TIkTok operation in US, Microsoft just miracle showing up for the deal! Plz , everyone knows US dirty biz
There is no data that Tik-Tok is a data security threat. Trump is mad because Tom-Tok was used to screw up his Oklahoma rally
Come on, it is not a theft. It is called extortion or robbery by the mafia.
fuckchina
But why are they saying this its supposed to be owned my a company in China and the company said the Chinese government has nothing to do with the company so it proves that Trump was right again and china government is involved with Tick Tock and they had access to your accounts
Reuters is the voice of CCP China
Go after “Zoom” also.
It should be closed down completely.
Before you know it they will ban services like Google, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter in their own country! Oh wait..
I think it's not negotiable
tiktok_us should react with ..SO WHAT to the banned.. and keeps it without selling. Is there anything people in white house office would do with good intention to china or chinese companies?
So what If TIKTOK app is not sold and kept as it is and it is later banned, Things will change and technology will also find a solution. Why trust a crazy racist guy in the white house to negotiate a deal. He wants it but dont give in. So tiktok_us should stay with china
Hahha right on schedule for a correction
I stand with China because it's their app THEY shouldn't accept other American company to pay their app!White PEOPLE want to rule this world and they want to prevent everything, which is unacceptable!! There are 7 billion people on this earth!! White PEOPLE aren't the only color
You can erase that on Google cloud too.
Just remove that from Google cloud and take home.
To hell with tik tok it's an un usable spyware peice of trash.
Someone said that there is no connection between Tiktok and the Chinese regime. These people were definitely trying to mislead users.
TikTok is finished.
It is called reciprocity. It hurts doesn't
I can't disagree it is theft, blackmail and theft, and now he wants his share of the pie.
👏 👍
I think if the US decide to cut them off the internet its curtains China. you need to start behaving!
Hey , disgusting China STEALS EVERYTHING. THEY OWE US BILLIONS from what they have Stolen from the U.S, and you know it. TICTOK, another way to Track us. Get rid of them.
tictok
Without Wall Street all Chinese companies are NOTHING. Check out the case of Luckin Coffee and you all will know who is the real thief and what they are aiming.
Sure, they are touchy about THEIR intellectual property. They have pirated everyone else's. I guess the rules only matter when they are on their side.
In retaliation, China should steal Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and let their 1.4 billion people use American social media apps for free.
China let me introduce you to capitalism... suck it
This is shame for us
But China netizen army start to blame/ attack Tiktok leader Zhang Yiming? So now attack is equal to support?
More like robbery.
Not steal, dude. It's robbery and extorts. Every company should understand that the US isn't a free market at all, their president can take your company at any time with the excuse of national security. A pirate nation.
That’s not your decision at all.
To be fair, China invented gun powder. Everyone seems to have copied them.
I’m just sitting here waiting to see if Tik Tok will continue to be Chinese malware or become US malware.
WWIII brought to you by 16 year old girls doing the renegade for simps
It's gonna get banned then, as simple as that.
US PEOPLE LOVE CCP's SURVEILLANCE APP SO MUCH. THEY CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT, THEY WANT NO PRIVACY.
Theft? Trump’s interview make it very clear - shameless robbery
US and some of its high tech companies are acting really disgusting and mean recently!
May I remind ‘Hollier than Thou’ Chinese, it was them who initiated and perfected the ‘Forced Technology Takeover’ scheme on NationalSecurity ground — when TsinghuaGroup was allowed to takeover HPNetwork division in China. POTUS should also act against Zoom & others ASAP!
thats fine then just ban them and its over.
Wow that is horrible
They really shouldn't steal from China. This is a disgrace and unprecedented.
