TikTok has become the latest Chinese company to be dragged into Washington’s technology war with Beijing. But just why does the US government believe it is unsafe and how do its actions compare to other apps operating in the current market?
In a world fighting against a common enemy, the coronavirus, we do not need another distraction that will increase the pile of deaths.
Most European countries don’t want to get involved in the middle of a new Cold War between Donald Trump and China for a couple of reasons.
Following Pompeo’s announcement which declared most of China’s maritime in the South China Sea as “completely unlawful,” Washington has launched an “unprecedented” propaganda assault in South East Asian countries against Beijing.
There is a consensus in the U.S. that it must focus on and respond more effectively to the challenges posed by a growing China, regarding the country as its primary strategic competitor.
Though competition is inevitable, deepening cooperation is the best way to develop China-US relations in the future. Both peoples should keep in mind that only the good China-US relations will benefit China, the US and naturally the whole world.
The nature of this bill has little to do with any alleged “compassion” toward an “oppressed minority,” but rather is a matter of pure politics and an integral part of a consistent policy of containing China.
It is not only building a cold wall between the US and China, but also pushing the two countries into a cold war. Trump’s China strategy is simply short- sighted and un-strategic.
Should President Trump follow through on his threat to pull funding from the WHO in the midst of a global pandemic, the international reputation of the United States will suffer significantly indeed. For many, it will serve only to reinforce the idea that America is no longer the global leader it used to be.
All available evidence shows that the novel coronavirus is natural in origin and not man-made.
If Navarro is angry that China is opening up faster than America, then it’s no wonder he thinks trade is a zero-sum game.
I never thought that I would become just a statistic, sacrificed as a bargaining chip in a tit-for-tat campaign between two countries.
