TikTok ban revocation ‘positive step’: China

Beijing, June 10

A relieved China on Thursday welcomed the US move to drop the Trump-era executive orders to ban its popular apps TikTok and WeChat, saying it was a “positive step in the right direction”. The US should treat Chinese companies fairly and refrain from politicising trade issues, state-run CGTN quoted commerce ministry spokesperson Gao Feng as saying.

Respect principles of market economy

Asked for his reaction to the US move to lift the ban orders, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told a media briefing here on Thursday that the US should stop abusing state power to suppress Chinese firms. — PTI
