I don't really spend a lot of time reading news, for example, I haven't booked any newspapers in my whole life. I always read news on social media such as WeChat, and seldom look deep into it. However, recently an event drew my attention so tightly that I thought about it and followed it every day.
China's relationship with other countries is getting worse. Border problems with India make Chinese apps banned in India. And hostage crisis with Canada, 5G technology with Britain. The worst is going to be the huge trouble with America, more specifically, with Donald Trump. Trump was saying some bad words because China's reaction to the epidemic that happened recently has already infuriated Chinese people. He was trying to ban TikTok in America!
First of all, TikTok's parent company is a Chinese company. Second one, his reasons were ridiculous, he didn't have any laws that could support him. His reasons were for the safety of Americans and the security of the government. Obviously he didn't have any evidence to support that.
The reason he is doing it is because the users of TikTok pissed him off. When he was doing a campaign rally in a city, the tickets seemed to be sold out completely, but only half the people actually went. He found out that the users of TikTok communicate with each other to resist Trump. Of course he was mad about that. As a result, he said he is going to ban TikTok.
America is defined as the most democratic country in the world. But what I see is a man controlling the whole country. The people don't have any power. Videos I have been reading recently show that teenagers love the app more than any apps on their smartphones, they don't care about that private information Trump mentioned in his speeches. That are the people's true words. Trump isn't a good American if he doesn't listen to it, even though he isn't a good man either.
Let's say Trump is an American Hitler at the end of this passage. His purpose is to win the campaign. Therefore, he has to build his character among people. But this action against TikTok may cause dozens of his supporters to change their sides. So he may fail the bigger race.
All in all, TikTok needs to fight back.
