Unbelievable results!! This has been an incredible experience from day one with mr Charles @Charles_forex09 at InSTA.. This wasn't my first time trading but honestly I didn’t know what to expect when I first joined. After much loss. God walked me through the entire process from start to finish, which was a HUGE plus! They made the entire process so easy and hassle-free! I’m very impressed! Go to him @Charles_forex09 at IG I will definitely be referring him to you all.🥰🥰

It's been 10 years since Google withdrew from the Chinese market, I am surprised to see this American journalist stigmatizes China for banning U.S. tech companies maliciously without showing any credible proof. For your information, companies like Google and Facebook refused to comply with Chinese laws to censor certain information/message/post that contains sexual content, heresies, extreme ideas or terror and therefore shut down by the Chinese government. There are legal bases to support this series of government actions. On the other hand, Trump's mad actions toward WeChat and TikTok is by no means a "justified retaliation" to China. It's an absurd accusation sugarcoated by the so-called national security threat and a pure distraction made to cover his failure to control the coronavirus and the recent economic malaise. Don't be fooled and do your own research before buying his nonsense.

When China does this, it's evil and despotism. When US does this, it's for the safety of the ppl. Talking about double standard lol

Logically putting it.. China does not allow the social media companies of America to make money in China…but wants their social media companies to make money in America.. just logically putting it!!

Can we say that the new technology we don't have is a national security issue?
So we have to force every good foreign business sell to US.

China bans Facebook and Google because they refuse to abide by the laws of China. But the Tiktok strickly follows the laws of US. US still bans it. So US is not ture democracy….

When a country bans your stuff and you don't ban their stuff, the competition is one sided. Nothing to do with whether you're a dictatorship or not.
The Chinese have had it too good for too long.

i can still see it at the app store so all they did was ban wechat

Personally I don’t care for Tik Tok I never used it and none of my friends and family have it. i seen to many people do stupid things for the unsatisfied thirst for “likes”
I know a ton of you are going to hate me saying this. But I hope Wechat stays since my parents are chinese and they use the app to talk to families and old geezer friends back in Macau and Hong Kong. Also my parents are basically cavemen when it comes to technology…they don’t care for FaceTime nor know how to text. It took me almost forever to try to figure Wechat’s stupid security requirements on the first try.

Common CNBC. If China is banning American companies and will not face the same retaliation in the USA then it is clearly taking advantage, it is not that hard to understand. So from a Chinese perspective, the USA is seen to be weak. They do not care about moral issues, they only care about money which they can steal from the USA.
