00:00 Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:04 President Biden has signed the TikTok isolation bill into law,
00:09 which stipulates that TikTok will be cut off from Chinese companies within a nine-month period,
00:15 otherwise it may be blocked in the United States.
00:17 TikTok also issued a statement immediately,
00:19 saying that users can rest assured that TikTok will continue to exist in the United States,
00:22 and that it will take legal measures to fight back to the end,
00:26 and that it will win with confidence.
00:28 Although TikTok has issued a statement,
00:30 will TikTok soon disappear in the United States?
00:33 It has become a hot topic.
00:35 The 14-year TikTok dispute is an important battle between the United States and China
00:39 in the Internet and technology war.
00:43 President Biden signed a $9.5 billion foreign aid bill yesterday.
00:49 In addition to ensuring that the United States will continue to provide military aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan,
00:55 it also includes content that requires TikTok's US business to be isolated from Chinese parent companies.
01:01 According to the regulations, TikTok will be cut off from parent companies within a nine-month period,
01:10 otherwise TikTok will be banned in the United States,
01:12 and 170 million American users will be affected.
01:16 Although the US government is targeting TikTok everywhere,
01:20 President Biden's campaign team officially joined TikTok on this year's Super Late Night.
01:28 Biden also avoided traditional TV interviews,
01:30 and instead spread political information through TikTok,
01:33 hoping to gain more young voters' support before the November presidential election.
01:38 Even if Biden signs the bill,
01:40 his campaign team said they would continue to use TikTok,
01:44 and try to work with influential people through TikTok
01:48 to gain as much exposure as possible.
01:50 As for the bill Biden signed,
01:52 TikTok also issued a statement that
01:55 the US is using important foreign and humanitarian aid funds
02:00 to deprive 1.7 million Americans of freedom of speech,
02:03 destroy 7 million companies,
02:05 and shut down a platform that contributes $2.4 billion to the US economy every year.
02:11 TikTok CEO Jay Chou also posted a video saying,
02:14 "Don't worry, they're not going anywhere."
02:18 After President Biden signed the bill yesterday
02:20 to ban TikTok from using short video apps in the US,
02:24 TikTok CEO Jay Chou was furious.
02:27 In a video posted on TikTok, he pointed out that
02:29 this is not just a ban on TikTok,
02:31 but also a bill that deprives TikTok users of the right to speak.
02:35 He emphasized that TikTok will continue to stay,
02:37 and fight for the rights of 1.7 million American users on the platform.
02:40 They're not going anywhere.
02:42 Rest assured, we aren't going anywhere.
02:44 We are confident and we will keep fighting for your rights in the courts.
02:48 The facts and the constitution are on our side,
02:52 and we expect to prevail again.
02:54 Although TikTok is banned from being used,
02:57 White House Press Secretary Pierre said
02:59 the US government is not trying to ban TikTok,
03:01 but rather hoping that the platform can be acquired by Americans
03:04 and no longer be controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.
03:07 We do not want to see a ban.
03:09 This is not about a ban.
03:10 This is about divestment, selling, being sold.
03:13 This is about our national security.
03:15 This is not concerns about Americans using TikTok.
03:18 This is about PRC ownership, right?
03:20 This is about the control of TikTok.
