📱 TikTok's future got a fresh spin! At a recent press briefing, He Yadong from the Chinese mainland's Ministry of Commerce made it crystal clear: no deal will ever come at the cost of core principles, corporate interests or global fairness.
🎯 What’s the scoop? Over Sept 14–15 in Madrid, economic and trade teams from the Chinese mainland and the U.S. met (guided by a recent phone call between the two heads of state) and sketched out a basic plan to tackle TikTok issues together:
- 🤝 More collaboration on data security and governance
- 🚧 Lowering investment barriers
- 🌏 Promoting wider economic and trade cooperation
He Yadong highlighted that the Chinese mainland government fully respects companies’ decisions and backs fair, market-driven negotiations. Any TikTok-related moves—from tech exports to IP rights—will undergo a proper legal review.
Now, the Chinese mainland is urging the U.S. to keep its market open, fair and non-discriminatory so Chinese mainland firms—TikTok included—can keep innovating and delivering that FYP magic without hitting roadblocks. The goal? A stable, healthy and sustainable vibe in China-U.S. economic ties.
For young tech buffs scrolling on the MRT in Singapore or vibing at a kopi shop in Jakarta, this means smoother app updates and more transparent data moves—no politics, just pure digital fun. 🚀
