Beijing has been a little quiet as TikTok, the first application created in China’s domestic tech industry, battles for its place in the US.
The controversy over whether Washington will outlaw TikTok because it has been a long time coming up regarding worries about Beijing’s foundation of   and its parent company, ByteDance, has been raging for centuries.  , In the past, Chinese officials have n’t shied from harsh , rhetoric voicing opposition.  , But then, as a ban seems more possible than ever to get hold, Beijing is holding its cards close to the stomach.
In the decades since preceding remarks that prompted the removal of TikTok from ByteDance have been refuted by spokespeople for China’s foreign ministry have withdrawn requests for comment. Specifically, a March speech from government officials promising that China will firmly “protect its legitimate rights and interests.”
However, it would be premature to view the new silence as any kind of an indicator that Beijing did take this lying down. United States companies with exposure to the country’s second-largest business, from Apple to Tesla, may prepare for money punches if a tit-for-tat develops.
And it would be foolish for policymakers to underestimate the might Beijing might use in response to what it has originally labeled as cruel “bullying.”  ,
For TikTok, a high-stakes DC Circuit Court experiencing last month did not go well. The chances of it halting a ban , plunged from 70 per cent to 30 per share, according to Bloomberg Intelligence researchers. And if it fails to win this court fight, the , danger of undoing that lost is , 10 per share.
