On August 14th, US President Donald Trump issued another executive order in support of “free trade” and in assistance of “the invisible hand of the market.”
He ordered Chinese company ByteDance to divest from any US business within 90 days and to erase all data linked to TikTok, saying that both the company and its app are a threat to US national security.
An acquisition by ByteDance of Musical.ly is entirely prohibited, and it has nothing to do with anti-monopoly law, or anything of the sort, it’s just forbidden because it’s a Chinese company attempting to purchase a smaller, US one.
“The transaction resulting in the acquisition by ByteDance of Musical.ly, to the extent that Musical.ly or any of its assets is used in furtherance or support of, or relating to, Musical.ly’s activities in interstate commerce in the United States, is hereby prohibited, and ownership by ByteDance of any interest in Musical.ly in the United States, whether effected directly or indirectly through ByteDance, or through ByteDance’s subsidiaries, affiliates, or Chinese shareholders, is also prohibited.”
The Chinese company responded to the order, saying that TikTok is used by 100 million Americans because “it is their home for entertainment, self-expression, and connection,” adding that it would continue to “bring joy to families and meaningful careers to those who create on our platform for many years to come.”
On August 8th, Trump signed another executive order banning all US citizens from doing business with ByteDance after a grace period of 45 days. It also banned WeChat, saying it is also a threat to US national security.
Additionally, ByteDance was in negotiations with Microsoft which showed interest in purchasing the US side of the TikTok business.
Trump said he would support an effort by Microsoft Corp to buy TikTok’s American operations if the US government got a “substantial portion” of the proceeds, but has also said there are other interested potential buyers.
Asked if he was concerns that the sweeping bans on transactions with WeChat could prevent Apple Inc from selling iPhones in China, Trump did not express worry.
“I do what’s good in terms of the security of our country,” he told reporters.
A group of major US companies including Apple this week raised concerns about the potential negative implications on US firms from the TikTok and WeChat orders.
Regardless, national security needs to be protected, and also if any business deal is made the US government needs to have a cut out of it, in a reminiscence of the good old days when business owners paid mafia families on their streets to protect their business from being targeted … by the same mafia families.
MORE ON THE TOPIC:
the empire is desperate
the stupid cunts are dying like dogs in the streets and even tiny puppets like Belgium don’t take the lardass Americunt motherfucker losers seriously, do anyone really think that China gives a fuck anymore. Just look at the body language of the Chinese ambassador at the UNSC, they treat the Americunts like shit.
Crumbling Empire.
TIC TOC THE KIKES ARE DONE!
Crumbling, more like a dying rabid dog my friend. Even the Euro vassals are distancing themselves from a dying deadbeat Americunt losers. Even a few years ago, I would have never thought that tiny NATO puppets like Belgium would go their own way. They all understand the economic clout of China and where the world’s future lies.
Indeed, we are living in historic times.
Power has shifted to Eurasia and US decline is directly linked to its wrong priorities and militarisation. US fought losing wars while China developed its trade and industry and now it is too late for the west, Indian companies own most of UK industry.
Let’s get a basic fact right, the dumbass Americunt losers are in a losing fight to the death with the world’s only real superpower, CHINA, and as today’s UNSC vote and the utter humiliation of the lardass dumbass Americunt arseholes showed, Americunts are KAPUT! No people hate the Americunts more than the Chinese now.
Agree except that last sentence.
I normally base my comments on personal experience, I recently have spoken to a lot of Chinese students and professionals, and believe me they hate the Americuny arseholes with a passion, lot more than any other nationality. The Chinese are very smart and keep long term historical grudges and they have nothing but sheer contempt for the dumbass Americunt beggars. A lot of Chinese have suffered racist abuse in AmeriKKKa lately after the Pimpeovirus and the Chinese media is giving the Americunt racism stories very high profile and that has inflamed Chinese nationalism, they will destroy the Americunts.
Reparations for the Opium Wars have not yet been paid …
They are begging in the streets with 60% unemployment so I think that is not going to happen. The Zionist fanned endless lost wars and now this suicidal economic war with China has literally put them in the doghouse.

Crumbling U.S. Empire is perverting words, they do the exact opposite of what they say.
Soviet Union supported free trade more than the U.S. nowdays.
My only criticism of USSR was its inability to provide more and better consumer goods to its people. Soviets developed high quality weapons, but the barter trade goods like Moskvich cars and TV that they sent to India during the Congress years were of very poor quality.
Yeah, weapons were a priority, not only in quality but in numbers. Thankfully the Russian armed forces arent overbloated anymore. And they also develop civilian infrastructure and tech.
Now Russia is in a position to produce both. Russian quality of life is better than most western nations. Russian weapons that have been exported to India are far better bargain than anything western. Even Modi decided to stick with Russia.
I agree. Russia and India always had traditionally good relations.
The Congress Party and Nehru family laid the foundations of Indian-Russian friendship at a time US started arming its puppet Pakistan with anti-India and anti-Russia alliances like CENTO and SEATO. And even extremists like Modi have not been able to undermine them.
U.S. doesnt have allies or friends only vassals. Thats one should never bow to them. They arm various countries, factions, terrorists than start a war, the longer the better, thats main profit, the military industrial complex, even President Eisenhower has warned about them in the 50s, too bad nobody listened. They are totally out of control nowdays.
Better a US vassal than a Russian or Chinese vassal.
Russia and China has friends and allies not vassals. Yeah Im sure thats why the U.S. has to twist arms left and right to get what it wants…
Name one friend of each of the two.
India, Hungary, Czech Republic, Germany, South-Africa, Brazil, Belarussia, Armenia, Iraq…
Anctarctica not? Penguins are friendly too.
Skipper, Rico, Kowalsky, Privet are all GRU agents…
And your parents had the refrigerator full of meat for their good service. Btw did they teach you to listen through wall with a glass?
No, they arent Ukropnazis afterall…
Ahh they have big years I forgot, they don’t need glass to listen what neighbours are talking. Btw I guess it’s a bit boring now, doing it just to not get out of hand… oops ear.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug…
Better than casting to police political jokes of your neighbours.
Like ukrops doing it nowdays? Learnt from their CIA masters..”If you see something, say something…”
Jew commie hating non-jews and calling them nazis. Such a rare animal, nobody have seen such thing until now.
Indeed, Porkyshitko was the worst.
Don’t pretend you didn’t eat pork, you’re not any better than the rest of the goys.
Projecting much Shlomo?
Still the communism will never come back. You will have to work, unlike your parents.
Projecting again…
You have to work :)
Big words coming from you…
Nah, work is normal for everyone. Only for the hungarian communist jews, work sounds like hell.
You should know well trolling for a living high in Soros cocaine…

You call trolling for soros and CIA working? You are too funny ?
So you are not actually working?
I meant you…
No U
Truth hurts, try to handle it…
Speaking of ‘projecting’ heh

Optimism and happyness are choices :)
To a degree…

Ar least for the moment its not.
And for the rest of your life :)
We will see…
Stable boy missed my 20 inch bloody phalus and wants to have his soft anus crushed and prolapsed again? Bend over and spread it with your both hands so I can inpale your nasty brown eye like there is no tomorrow. Your foreskined weiner is dragged iside of yourself with the tornado of yor own backdoor flesh I pump with industrial capacity. You can’t feel your knees and anything else, but my 10.000 volts rug in your stink and you are happy now :) I’m glad we had this discution.
I see you took your cocaine again… Too bad…
Russian quality of life is better than most Western nations, only if you consider all Latin America like Honduras and Mexic… as Western nations.
Its also better than that of the U.S.
Vladimir Putin and his billionaire friends sure have a better life.
And the majority of Russians as well.
The majority of the foreskinned Russians
Indeed. Foreskin FTW.
TIC TOC TIME FOR KIKES!
it has been recently reported that many are being evicted in USA, including small enterprises—in USSr housing was guaranteed –incomes minimum 200 r monthly, rent no more than 40 r per month….corporate kleptocracy has not ignited the amerikan people, but the unwarranted police murder of a career criminal does..when USSR sold gas to Europe US did not complain—today the fear china/russia/iran/cuba/etc.
On the plus side I have seen a sudden flood of job openings from Bytedance outside the USA – I see some juicy opportunities in the job boards for enterprising I.T specialists looking for a job change in EU, ASEAN and other places. Time to dust off my resume’ …
You know a lot of highly educated Chinese students are coming home and they hate the Americunts with a passion. I spoke to a recent PhD, and she had a burning hatred of the Americunt racists and the incidents she had suffered.
A lot of these are employed at the FANGs in the US, they’re all heading straight back to Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent and others on the mainland, with huge salary jumps.
The Americans can copyright all the IP they want, but 99% of the true IP these people are going home with is stored between the ears and will never see the USPO …
“People = IP” .. No people, no IP.
At one stage a few years ago 80% of science, IT, medicine and engineering graduate students in Americunt universities were Chinese and Asians, and you are right now they have the brainpower. Americunts have literally fucked themselves. If you are unfortunate enough to even visit the Americunt failed shithole state, it seriously looks like a third world dump, the average car is rusted 20 years old, the roads are full of potholes and the people are rude shitheads. It is a pathetic shithole. No wonder anyone who can wants to get out. I have not seen more beggars in India even, it is quite sad to see cute children beg openly. This was San Francisco last week.

And to think just a few decades ago Asian people were told they could never excel in a western education system.
One by one these notions of inherent racial superiority (held by whoever!) are being destroyed to reveal the truth: All sentient beings are sacred and capable of intellectual greatness.
Anglo racism has been its undoing.
I’m sure the Indian version is better.
” Americunts have literally fucked themselves. ”
They had alot of help from the ZioJews and other leaches.
” You know a lot of highly educated Chinese students are coming home and they hate the Americunts with a passion. ”
Well thats good, they should’ve never been there in the first place.
The Americunts who break the toys of the neighbor’s children [tik tok & China] are paired with the guy who shot a 5-year-old boy because he trampled the grass on his lawn with the mini bicycle, from bottom to top the israeli colony in north america is riddled with shivers of self-destructive madness.
US is now in irreversible decline and it will only get worse each year.
We can just shift our Apple sale to our Allies India, Japan and Taiwan, and China cant do a shit about it. Because we do it for security reasons. Therefore there are nothing to worry about and Trump knows that.
Lets place bets to see if China ” folds ” on this. I bet yes.
Liberal idea comes from UK, anything coming from Albion is crap, suggesting there is anything wrong going against it is proof of silliness
