Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
US SECRETARY of State Mike Pompeo called for a harsher crackdown on Chinese technology on Wednesday, saying Chinese apps should be pulled from Google and Apple app stores.
President Donald Trump has already threatened to ban the Chinese-owned TikTok song and dance app, telling parent company ByteDance to sell off TikTok or see it outlawed in the US by September 15.
US academics say the legal basis for such a ban is unclear, but Mr Pompeo declared TikTok and messaging app WeChat “significant threats to the personal data of American citizens.”
