September 23, 2020The tug-of-war between the US and China continues over the use in the US of the popular Chinese mobile app Tik Tok which had denounced the Trump administration for having banned, since 20 September, the download of the popular app for security reasons .



China has no reason to give the green light to the "dirty" agreement between TikTok, Oracle and Walmart, "based on abuse and extortion".

This is the opinion of the China Daily newspaper, expressed in an editorial on today's edition, which is added to a similar opinion expressed yesterday by another Chinese newspaper, the tabloid Global Times, but with much harsher tones.



“What the United States did to TikTok is almost the same as a gangster forcing a legitimate company into an unreasonable and unfair deal,” is the editorial's premise.

The video-sharing app may continue to operate in the US, according to what has emerged so far, but TikTok "is preparing to lose not only control of the group, but also the key technologies it created and owns, which would be detrimental. for the long-term development of the company ".



The China Daily then accuses the United States of having "trapped from the beginning" to the agreement, with the aim of taking control of the app.

"China has no reason to give the green light to this agreement, which is dirty and unfair and based on abuse and extortion", is the conclusion of the English-language newspaper.

"If the United States gets what it wants, it will continue to do the same with other foreign groups. Giving in to the unreasonable demands of the United States would spell doom for ByteDance," the Chinese group that runs TikTok.  



Yesterday during the UN General Assembly at the UN Headquarters for the 75th anniversary of the United Nations, in front of the main world leaders in a video conference, President Trump once again pointed the finger at China in a fiery speech "We have engaged a courageous battle against the invisible enemy, the Chinese virus "," we must hold responsible the nation that unleashed this scourge in the world: China ".

And he went further: "In the early days of the virus, Beijing closed travel within it, instead allowing flights to go out and infect the world."
