China News Service, Beijing, September 17th, title: Enlightenment from Tiktok's "Third Plan"

  China News Agency reporter tensor

  When Tiktok was forced to sell on September 15th, it unexpectedly came up with a third plan other than "sell or close".

While many observers criticized this plan, the US government said that it "dislikes" the plan, adding further variables to Tiktok's future.

  Many commentators believe that the third way proposed by Tiktok is a "relatively optimal" "multi-win" solution, which neither yields to coercion and coercion, preserves the core technology of the enterprise, and also responds to the so-called national security proposed by the US government. Concern.

However, from the current point of view, this plan still has great variables.

The author believes that no matter what the final outcome of this plan is, its emergence is very enlightening and meaningful.

  First of all, this plan itself embodies the correct posture of a multinational company that embraces globalization-to work hard to safeguard its own interests in accordance with laws and regulations, and to actively seek a win-win solution for all parties.

There have been three major waves of world globalization, and multinational corporations have always been brave at the forefront.

Survival of the fittest is the only magic weapon for the evergreen foundation of these multinational companies.

But at the same time, seeking survival and development in this larger position, always sticking to oneself, pioneering and innovating, and even leading new trends, is the secret of the winner.

  Tiktok, as an American registered company rooted in the Chinese parent company, is an important part of a global company. It is a responsibility and obligation to adapt to local laws and regulations. At the same time, her actions and attitudes also represent the global image of the parent company.

In the face of the unfair hunting and forced sales by the US government, whether it can stick to its own reasonable interests and value pursuit and propose a relatively fair plan to open the situation is not only a severe test of the vitality and viability of its global company, but also a possible global challenge. An important revelation for other companies that the power has squandered.

  This time, Tiktok's solution has persisted, compromised, eased the tension, and provided a new way out for all parties. This in itself is a manifestation of the global values ​​of this company.

  Today, globalization is facing a major adjustment stage of upgrading and upgrading. The problems faced by the prophetly cold and warm Chinese global companies are not limited to production, sales, competition, local integration, legal compliance, and the life and death situation of being burnt by the political framework. .

At critical moments, how global companies respond to resolution, especially the solution path they choose, will have an important impact on the shaping of a new type of globalization.

  Second, although this incident occurred in a company, it has important implications for the current world.

A world-wide uproar of a government's open hunt for companies, but it can be transformed into a multi-win solution, and it also makes people realize that there is a third way out of the game between great powers.

  The outside world believes that the turning point of the Tiktok incident should be the Chinese government's adjustment and release of the "China's Export Prohibited and Restricted Export Technology Catalog", which provided strong support for this global company to seek a turnaround and reversed the situation.

Indeed, in this incident, the Chinese government is committed to safeguarding the core interests of the country and enterprises, while giving enterprises space to deal with problems, and providing necessary support and care for the development of enterprises, even if Tiktok is a company registered in the United States.

This reflects the Chinese government's deep understanding and support for globalization, and its positive and pragmatic attitude towards globalized companies.

  At the same time, the release of this plan also allows the outside world to see the power of rationality in the United States.

Tiktok can mediate such a situation in the U.S. political and business circles that meets the interests of all parties, and it is inseparable from the vigorous promotion of the management behind it.

On the one hand, it reflects that under globalization, the capital interests of all countries are closely linked to each other and cooperate to save themselves under the current domestic political environment in the United States; on the other hand, despite the tremendous pressure, they can finally come up with a reasonable and beneficial relative that accommodates the concerns of all parties. The fair plan also reflects that fair and free trade is still the mainstream public opinion in the United States.

  It can be seen from the efforts of all parties that China and the United States still have a solid foundation for deepening cooperation and exchanges, and there has always been room and ability to resolve conflicts between China and the United States.

The win-win cooperation with the United States that China has always advocated is entirely possible. As long as everyone is willing to show courage and sincerity, the wisdom and ability to solve problems will only increase.

The so-called "Thucydides trap" between China and the United States may have a third path to surpass.

  Third, Tiktok's third option is indeed an "antidote" for the current realization.

In today's increasingly tense game between China and the United States, under the atmosphere of more and more one-or-for-all teams, it is undoubtedly a recognition for more people who look at the incident from the perspective of "jade fragmentation" or "tiles". The impact of knowledge.

Some people are accustomed to using the simplified conclusion of "who wins" to see the repeated moves between China and the United States, including this game between Chinese-originated companies and the world's largest government.

As everyone knows, in today's degree of economic globalization, countries no longer have a clear antagonism in economic interests. There is only a difference in the degree of harm suffered in the conflict between various countries.

Only when we have a deep understanding of the nature of economic globalization in today's world that all prosperity and loss will cause damage, will it be possible to make choices that are truly beneficial to maintaining globalization in the presence of extreme environments.

  On the 17th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin reiterated China’s position in response to the Tiktok transaction issue, urging the United States to respect the principles of market economy and fair competition, abide by international economic and trade rules, and stop politicizing normal economic and trade cooperation in order to serve foreign companies in the United States. Investment operations provide an open, fair, just, and non-discriminatory business environment.

  Perhaps, under the current increasingly severe situation, this plan will finally disappear like a meteor.

But its emergence has revealed a way out for the world that is increasingly falling into an either-or mood.

  Is this "way out" just as a revelation, or can it really become a realistic path?

Now it depends on the choice of the US government.
