[Global Network Reporter Zhang Xiaoya] According to the latest news from British Reuters, a US judge blocked the ban on TikTok by the US Department of Commerce late on the 7th local time.

According to reports, this is the second American judge to prevent the Trump administration from implementing the TikTok ban.

  The ruling was made by Carl Nichols, a Washington, DC judge appointed by Trump last year.

Nichols said that the US Department of Commerce’s ban on TikTok “is likely to exceed” its legal authority, and “because it did not consider obvious alternatives, it (the Department of Commerce) acted arbitrary and capricious”.

To this end, the relevant ruling prohibits the Department of Commerce from imposing an injunction on the provision of data hosting, content delivery services and other technology transactions for TikTok in the United States.

  According to the report, Nichols also prevented the US Department of Commerce from banning Apple and Alphabet's Google App Store from providing the app to new users on September 27.

  Nichols is the second judge to block the TikTok ban.

On October 30, local time, Pennsylvania District Court Judge Wendy Beatstone stopped a U.S. Department of Commerce order originally scheduled to take effect on November 12.

Reuters reported at the time that Bitstone had issued a temporary injunction. During the trial of the case in court, the US Department of Commerce was not allowed to enforce the injunction prohibiting TikTok from providing data storage, content delivery and other technical transactions to TikTok's US business.

  In response to the US government’s suppression of Chinese technology companies including TikTok, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying once stated that the relevant US policies and attempts to take have nothing to do with national security, but the slaughter and bullying of Chinese companies. The essence of coercion and extortion is the government's coercion of the transaction. It is a blatant denial of the market economy and fair competition principles that the US has always advertised.

Hua Chunying emphasized that, in fact, for a period of time, the United States has generalized the concept of national security, abused national power, and carried out various disgraceful suppressions on specific Chinese companies without any real evidence. What has it shown to the world? Called naked bullying.

Some people in the United States call the US behavior a "digital gunboat" policy.

But the times are different. Today, China is capable of taking all necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
