The U.S. is launching a series of sanctions against Chinese technology companies. Recently, President Trump announced an order demanding ByteDance divest all assets used to support the operation of TikTok in the U.S. and destroy all data obtained and derived from TikTok users in the U.S within 90 days.

On August 14, U.S. President Trump announced the latest executive order regarding TikTok. President Trump emphasized that credible evidence shows that the parent company of TikTok, ByteDance Ltd., threatens to impair the national security of the United States. The executive order states that any transaction resulting in the acquisition by ByteDance of Musical.ly and the ownership by ByteDance of any interest in Musical.​ly in the U.S., whether affected directly or indirectly through ByteDance, are prohibited.

Jin Chun, a former engineer at Huawei Research Institute in Nanjing, said: “Sanctioning TikTok across the board, and divesting and separating TikTok from ByteDance Ltd. will become a model for Trump administration to follow when dealing with Chinese companies with similar criminal actions in the future.”

On August 6, President Trump signed executive orders banning any U.S. individual and entity from making transactions with ByteDance Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd. after 45 days. The executive order stated that WeChat and TikTok obtain private personal information to censor content, monitor, and propagate and spread disinformation on behalf of the CCP.

Jin further indicated that through big data, the CCP is capable of not only stealing confidential information, but also influencing U.S. elections and controlling critical infrastructure like the electricity grid. Therefore, the White House must shut down these Chinese technology companies.

Tian Yuan also mentioned that although this move done by the Trump administration will create a short-term inconvenience to some Asian-Americans, it is beneficial not only to U.S. national security, but also in cutting off the CCP’s brainwashing and control over Chinese-Americans.

The Epoch Times reported that President Trump’s executive order demonstrates the determination and the willingness of the White House to remove Beijing’s control of TikTok in the United States. If Bytedance Ltd. is unable to divest within the deadline, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United Stateshas the power to execute the order.
