WORLDRETHINK: Twitter tour on August 7, 2020 - Is TikTok a national security concern?

#WR: Is TikTok a national security concern for US? From my point of view: Yes, it is! Why? Because this app in the Chinese hands is tool to capture strategy information about the behavior of the people and to indoctrinate the society according to the China's goals. #China #TikTok


#WR: From @WSJ: "President Trump issued a pair of executive orders that would impose new limits on Chinese social-media apps #TikTok and WeChat, escalating tensions with Beijing and effectively setting a 45-day deadline for an American company to purchase TikTok’s US operations.



#WR: The Chinese app TikTok is in the target of China-US tech war! "Trump’s executive orders, effective in 45 days, bar people subject to US jurisdiction from transactions with the China-based owners of TikTok and WeChat" #TikTok #WeChat #ChinaUS


#WR: From  @nytimes “Trump targets WeChat and TikTok, in sharp escalation with China.The government cited national security concerns in announcing sweeping restrictions on two popular Chinese social media networks, a move that is likely to be met with retaliation.” #TikTok #WeChat


#WR: From  @dwnews: ‘China is unlikely to accept an acquisition of TikTok's US operations by Microsoft and said it will prevent any deal forced by Trump. DW spoke with Rui Ma, a China tech expert, about a sale the Chinese see as "theft."’ #TikTok #China #PresidentTrump #Microsoft
