China has warned that a proposed ban on TikTok would “come back to bite” the United States, ahead of a congressional vote that could lead to the app being banned.
The bill in the House of Representatives would force the Chinese-owned app to sever ties with China or become unavailable in the US. Officials in the United States have long expressed concern about TikTok, citing potential national security risks.
Ahead of Wednesday’s vote, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin accused the US of “suppressing TikTok” despite the fact that it “never found evidence that TikTok threatens national security.”
