社評0314    美國國會正對抖音宣戰




美國國會正對抖音宣戰


國會眾議院以352對65票通過要抖音去中資化法案 ,規定大陸母公司在六個月內如果不退出抖音在美國之經營, 那麽美國就將禁止這個應用程式 。


這個國際版之抖音在美國1.5億人口使用, 其母公司是中國大陸字節跳動之全資子公司。 美國政界人士普遍認為它受制於大陸之母公司, 影響國家安全, 這項法案將送往參議院審議 ,是否通過還是未定之天。


抖音是否繼續存在正在全美掀起一場政界和使用者之大戰, 這批大部份之使用者是年輕人 ,抖音已經是他們生活中之一部分,更有些是賴於謀生之工具。


在目前中美兩國關係䧟於低潮之時, 我們目睹國際版抖音公司年輕總裁周受資在國會受「審」之場景, 令人印象深刻。 


值此美國大選掀起熱潮, 川普和拜登之選戰可能就因為抖音之前途決定許多年青人之選票。 


The U.S. Congress Is Declaring “War” On TikTok


The House of Representatives passed a bill on Wednesday with a vote of 352-65 to force TikTok’s parent company to either sell the hugely popular video app, or have it banned in the United States. 


This move will escalate the relationship between Beijing and Washington over the control of technologies that could affect national security. In America, TikTok has more than 1.5 billion users and most of them are young people. Many politicians believe that the  data will affect our national security. The bill will move to the Senate for consideration on whether it will be passed or not.


Today TikTok has become a part of the daily life of many young people, and now even some of them depend on it for making a living. 


At the time when the relationship between China and the U.S. is at 

a very low point, we have witnessed the young CEO of TikTok Shou Zi Chew being treated as if “standing on trial” on Capitol Hill.  


The presidential election is coming. This will clearly become one of the political issues and directly related to the young voters who will choose to vote.
