BEIJING — Beijing warned on Wednesday (March 13) that a proposed ban on Chinese-owned video-sharing app TikTok would "inevitably come back to bite the United States".
The TikTok logo is displayed on signage outside TikTok social media app company offices in Culver City, California, on March 16, 2023.
The US House of Representatives is set to vote later Wednesday on a bill that would force the app to cut ties with its Chinese owner or get banned in the US. "This kind of bullying behaviour that cannot win in fair competition disrupts companies' normal business activity, damages the confidence of international investors in the investment environment, and damages the normal international economic and trade order," he added.The vote is likely to occur at 10am and is expected to pass overwhelmingly in a rare moment of bipartisanship in politically divided Washington.
