US PRESIDENT Donald Trump signed executive orders banning TikTok and the social-media app WeChat today, escalating the crackdown on Chinese-developed technology.
Song-and-dance app TikTok said it was “shocked” by the ban and would be taking legal action against it.
It would pursue all avenues to ensure that “the rule of law is not discarded,” it said, noting it had engaged with the US government “in good faith” for over a year over Washington’s accusations that it poses a national-security threat.
