Beijing, September 18 (Xinhua) — Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson He Yadong stated on Thursday that the country's position on the social media platform TikTok remains consistent. He added that China will never seek to conclude any agreement that undermines its principles, the interests of companies, or international fairness and justice.
He Yadong made the statement at a regular departmental briefing, responding to a question about the social network TikTok.
"China's position on TikTok remains consistent. We consistently oppose the politicization, instrumentalization, and weaponization of technology, as well as trade and economic issues," the official representative emphasized.
He Yadong noted that from September 14 to 15, Chinese and American delegations held consultations on trade and economic issues in Madrid, Spain. Based on the important consensus reached by the two heads of state during their telephone conversation, the parties reached a basic framework agreement on the appropriate resolution of TikTok-related issues through cooperation, reducing investment barriers, and promoting relevant trade and economic cooperation.
The Chinese government fully respects the will of enterprises and supports them in conducting equal commercial negotiations based on market principles, He Yadong emphasized, adding that Chinese authorities will consider and make decisions on TikTok-related issues in accordance with the law, including in such areas as technology exports and the transfer of intellectual property rights.
The official representative of the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China called on the American side, in accordance with the agreements reached by both sides, to ensure an open, fair, just, and non-discriminatory business environment for the continued operation of Chinese enterprises, including TikTok, in the United States, thereby promoting the stable, healthy, and sustainable development of China-US trade and economic relations.
