As the US moves to legally ban TikTok across the country amid the House of Representatives passing a bill, China issued a warning about barring the ByteDance-owned platform saying it “come back to bite”.

US House of Representatives Wednesday passed a bill seeking to ban the video application. In the second phase, the bill will now move to the Senate for a vote.

Wednesday quoting the Chinese foreign ministry as saying: “Although the United States has never found evidence that TikTok threatens US national security, it has not stopped suppressing TikTok.”

If the ban is imposed, the application will be removed from all the app stores across the country unless the parent company ByteDance sells its ownership.

“This kind of bullying behaviour that cannot win in fair competition disrupts companies’ normal business activity, damages the confidence of international investors in the investment environment, and damages the normal international economic and trade order,” the spokesperson Wang Webin stated.

“In the end, this will inevitably come back to bite the US itself,” Wang continued.

On Monday former US president Donald Trump also did not favour shutting down TikTok as it would make Facebook “bigger”, terming Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook the “enemy of the people.”

Legislators in the US Congress are considering carrying out measures that would cause ByteDance to sell TikTok by September 30.

While talking about the security associated with the app, he said: “There’s a lot of good and there’s a lot of bad with the social media platform.”

“There are a lot of people on TikTok that love it. There are a lot of young kids on TikTok who will go crazy without it,” Donald Trump added.

The intelligence community in the US raised concerns about the platforms used against democracy and the country’s leadership.
