America and China face-to-face, China will not allow Microsoft to buy TickTok at any cost

China's official newspaper China Daily said in an editorial on Tuesday that the Chinese government would not approve the purchase of TikTok by Microsoft Corp. China will not accept the US takeover. If he is forced to sell, he can take action against Washington. This is by far the strongest defence by Beijing for Byte Dance Limited and its viral videos. Significantly, US President Donald Trump has threatened to ban TikTok by saying that the deal to sell it to Microsoft or another US company should be done before 15^th September. Major government media such as the Global Times have been quoted as saying that the process is similar to officially sanctioned theft. China Daily said that China would by no means accept antics such as forcibly buying a Chinese IT company. If the administration executes its planned loot and robbery, there are many ways to respond to it.

 

BiteDance has become the world's largest startup thanks to TikTok's success abroad. US lawmakers accused it of posing a threat to national security by vacuuming data. Trump now wants to acquire the valuable assets of ByteDance, potentially through Microsoft, by adding TikTok to the US entity list. If this does not happen, then American companies like Apple Inc. and Google may also be forced to remove the app from their app stores. America's actions are being viewed in a different way. Some people are calling this a hoax with free speech and capitalism. Some people are justifying it for taming political hostility and its IT industry. Trump on Monday insisted several times that any sale of TikTok's US campaigns would require the US to pay enough. Hu Xi Jin, editor-in-chief of the Global Times of the People's Daily of the Communist Party, tweeted that it was an open robbery.

 

It is not yet clear what approach China can take. The Global Times wrote that China has limited capacity to protect its companies. China's foreign ministry has previously criticized Washington for double standards in attempting to ban TikTok. But when asked about the latest developments in a press briefing on Monday, a spokesperson said that we also do not comment on specific business activities of the companies concerned.
