Current affairs perspective
There is nothing in the world, and the United States is disturbed.
Byte -by -line Tiktok's operation in the United States is smooth and smooth. However, the US government inserts a bar horizontally in the name of national security, either selling it to American companies or stopping operations in the United States.What is even more paradoxical is that the US government is still being made in this strong buying and sale.
This obviously violates market principles and has become a political operation, or the United States' means of gaming on China.Who said that the United States is a market economy, and Tiktok has the right to compete in the market in the United States. It is not forced by the US government, and it is not slandered by Facebook.
Although Tiktok hires Americans, the server is not in China, and it is a bitter explanation and public relations activities, but everything is embarrassed; even through litigation methods, it cannot change President Trump's ultimatum: either before September 20, eitherSell to American companies, either walk away from the United States.
Of course, Tiktok chose a middle route mdash; MDASH; cooperation with the Oracle of Trump.Nevertheless, Trump still said that he was not satisfied with such cooperation because the US government did not benefit from it.
For example, the blackmail drama that does not give sugar without giving sugar is essentially a bullying game of anti -wisdom.As part of the systematic pressure on the Chinese, the US plunder pressure against TIKTOK is actually very horizontal, and the result is the result of self -damaging and self -deprivation.After all, TIKTOK has more than 80 million young users in the United States. These young Americans have no Tiktok, a popular social video tool, and will pass the anger into Trump and affect the US election.
It should be noted that in 2016, Trump won Hillary because Trump used Twitter to attract the support of the younger generation.Now Trump is fighting against Tiktok and is enemy with young people.Even if Trump has won the re -election, he lacks young people's support in the second term and will encounter more trouble.
Entering the US election in the fierce stage, the two parties of the donkey continued to fight, and strengthening the attack on China has also become the consensus between the two parties.This is always the case for attacking China to grab votes. This year's election has a stronger political drama.
Tiktok's unfortunate shot into the United States is not only the frustration of Chinese high -tech companies to expand the global market, but also the embarrassment of the US market and the humiliation of the US government.Tiktok was forced to sell it, and the national credit was damaged.As for who bought it, they are eating Tiktok's tofu.Therefore, whether Microsoft or Oracle is either, they participated in Tiktok's market transactions, which became less glorious because of the political color of the US government.
What is even more ironic is that both Microsoft or Oracle emphasizes that they are security partners, with the so -called national security political blackmail with the US government.But in fact, such a buyer's declaration still uses the US government to promote transactions that meet their own interests.Microsoft's withdrawal is not necessarily a good thing. Lost a business that lacks morality, but avoids the original sin of Microsoft's trading.
TIKTOK is very embarrassed and does not sell themselves. Its American business and global business are affected.However, it is not necessary to sell it. Tiktok's global business may usher in a similar bone effect. Other countries ask Tiktok to sell themselves according to samples.
The United States provides a bad example of the world, making technology globalization and capital globalization a joke.Byte beating as an enterprise, selling TIKTOK is helpless, and can also reduce damage to a certain extent.Therefore, the choice of enterprises is understandable.However, under the intervention of American power, especially under the strength of the United States, China is also helping bytes to beat in accordance with the law.
Recently, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Commerce jointly announced the latest version of China prohibiting export restrictions on export technology catalogs, deleting four technical entries for prohibited exports; five technical entries that restrict exports were deleted;; Control points and technical parameters modify 21 technical entries.The practical significance of the directory is that whether it is byte beating or other companies, when export technology, it must also meet the requirements of China and go through the approval of relevant Chinese departments.In short, technology exports cannot harm China's national interests.
This means that if TIKTOK has technical entries that are prohibited and restricted by the directory, the byte beating does not have the right to sell to foreign companies at will.The timely intervention of national power has made TIKTOK sales more complicated, but on the other hand, it makes this behavior that is not independent of the market entity.The United States forced Tiktok to sell it in the name of national security, while China drinks this unfair transaction for national security reasons.Let the market transactions return to the market, and let the game of great powers be given to the country's power. Such a transaction is fair, and such a game is equal.
TIKTOK chooses to cooperate with Oracle instead of the so -called selling body. It seems that there is a dual meaning of investing in the United States and avoiding the export review of Chinese technology exports.However, such operations may not be able to light both sides.As long as Sino -US relations are not ease, unequal marriage of Chinese and American technology companies will collide with unpredictable sparks.
