  • Microsoft's Extensive Ties to Beijing Could Muddy Tiktok Discussions, Experts
    In this photo illustration, a mobile phone featuring the TikTok app is displayed next to the Microsoft logo on Aug. 3, 2020 in New York City. (Cindy Ord/Getty Images) NATIONAL SECURITY Microsoft’s Extensive Ties to Beijing Could Muddy TikTok Discussions, Experts Say BY BOWEN XIAO August 10, 2020 Updated: August 10, 2020 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The future of TikTok is increasingly in the crosshairs as the app faces a ​ ​ September ban from the United States unless its parent company sells it to Microsoft or another U.S. company. But Microsoft’s decades-long ties to Beijing could muddy the waters. The video-sharing app, which is wildly popular among American teens, has come under bipartisan scrutiny over national security and privacy concerns in relation to its ownership. TikTok, which was acquired by Beijing-based ByteDance Technology Co. in 2017, is estimated to have tens of millions of active users in the United States. The crux of the concern is that under a 2017 national intelligence law, Chinese companies are required to provide their data to the ruling communist party. While some experts are optimistic that a Microsoft purchase will bring an end to alleged backdoor data mining, others say the company’s own extensive ties with Beijing are a cause for concern. President Donald Trump has recently taken a firm stance on Chinese apps. On Aug. 6 he issued executive orders that ban transactions with TikTok and social ​ ​ media app WeChat after Sept 20. The orders also ban transactions with ByteDance and WeChat’s parent company, Tencent Holdings. As the potential reality of a full-fledged ban approaches, smaller scale restrictions are already taking place.
