Exclusive: TikTok's Chinese owner offers to forego stake to clinch U.S. deal - sources

Mate remote access can work if there is network connectivity. Are you a network engineer? I am. Data can be isolated in US Servers and compliance standards can be put in place.

What LOL. How do you think TT currently accesses their user database in the US and its backup in Singapore- by manually plugging into them? There is NO compliance standard that will stop an owner/admin from sharing their personal access to their databases. If the Chinese govt demands it, TT will have to give its personal access protocols to the Chinese govt.

It's because the US wants to limit Chinese economic competition. The US gov has never proved that Tik Tok constitutes a national security threat or sends user data directly back to China (indeed even security experts admit this). It is just a matter of the US wanting to maintain its tech lead over China and finding a legal excuse to do so. I am American and I can see this ... nothing wrong with this approach but just know what the real reason behind this is. The US wants to maintain technological edge over China and if they can do so this way, then that is good.

Hence the reason why the US banned it/forced its sale

US wrong, US bad, US lies against an innocent China, and the kicker is - Tick Tok video platform is a technological edge US wants to grab.

Followed up by the ultimate statement- I am American and I can see this

Dude, The US govt has nothing on your insights into mother china's intentions.

It's about having no recourse to granting access to the CCP when they order it.

US government does the same all the time using "national security" excuse. Moreover, US invested billions wiretapping and listening in worldwide mobile conversations. So what US is complaining about has iota of credibility. You need to get real.

Not sure what kind of "American" you are, more like an ABCD. Definitely not a sane one.

So Microsoft must now pay a Trump tax ?

Yeah, I see you are confused about the differences in two cases. With the CCP situation, a Chinese company has no recourse, has to give up complete and unbinding access to all user data and information upon demand vs. what we do, where it has to go to court, and a case has to be made per user basis.

Zheng Renfei lost his fight against the US.

You must be very proud that a country+allies won one company? Today the hottest news in China is a genius graduate is hired by Huawei with $300,000/year salary.

If CCP failed to control the covid-19 like US did, Chinese could have overthrown it already. US is a low human right country.

This is only beginning, and a great start at hitting out on core technology provider.

You don't know what the CCP has done and you know they don't tell you what happens in others parts of the country, how many really died, and they keep hiding their numbers. china has a 'reputation at all costs' over human rights and that's always been your record

But, you are right, this virus your CCP purposefully unleashed on the world, we (nations that matter, world's industries) won't forget.

Another blame game. Why other countries can control the spread while you can't? More like you are incompetent and try find a scapegoat. No wonder some countries are good for nothing.

Are you freaking kidding me. I use VPN and my English is not too bad. Do you think you know something that I don't know? The difference between us is I know which part of all information is fake news. One of the reasons why US failed in Covid-19 is too much fake information in your country. And most Americans couldn't tell which one is fake.

It's not start. We saw your bottom line already. US has thrown all its cards out except dollar SWFIT system. Which will backfire US itself if it is used. And Huawei will be fine.

Yeah, that can look a bit odd to someone because you don't have the benefit of reading in context and my past conversations with him.

But my friend, I have noticed a rather ugly trend in my limited interactions with you so far, and when I read your comments about America here, to others in general. You have a mean streak and disdain for America that comes out strongly in your words, and in a majority of your comments, when you write about our people, culture, and government. It goes far beyond democratic dissension; and into more of a visceral reaction when you proscribe the evilest of intentions to us. I was wondering if this anger toward us, is in part, that you were perhaps forcibly moved to the US by your parents, and are finding it difficult to adjust to our culture?

I'm sorry if that's the reason for your impression about us and honestly hope you find good friends and family to help you along. I know Bangladesh to be a conservative Muslim country, and that itself can be a tough transition into a society like us. Finally, you got one thing right_ I'm a quirky American.

We are not blaming you for the levels of spread in the US. Trump is to blame for the levels of spread. BUT we are absolutely blaming you for intentionally spreading this virus. For lying about early findings, lying about it not being able to transmit human to human. Allowing your citizens to travel all over the world when you knew it would spread and spread at a tremendous pace. And then disallowing the world's leading virus researchers and doctors access to critical information about COVID. Hoarding of medical PPE for the purpose of driving up its prices in the world. Then sending faulty and bad equipment to cheat countries out of their money. This will not be forgotten.

IF the UN gets a real investigation where China is open and transparent, we will know what you exactly did to put the world in danger. In some ways, it may help you being transparent but one should never hold their breath when it comes to the CCP.

This callous disregard for humans and the world community is NOT a first from the CCP. You've done it repeatedly with every potential deadly virus coming from China. Arresting and threatening the good people of China when they try to bring attention to it. Like that doctor, threatened, told to hush up, destroy samples, and who ultimately died of COVID saving Chinese lives.

BUT I want to be clear, I don't blame the Chinese citizens because you have no control over vast spaces of your lives from cradle to grave under the CCP. Their incorrigible behavior, unforgivable actions in spreading this globally is not your fault. Reparations will be demanded in one form or another.
