Donald Trump expects to ban Alibaba and other Chinese firms in the US after the TikTok ban

US President Donald Trump has shown that he was hoping to ban other Chinese-owned organizations, including e-commerce giant Alibaba in the United States, days in the wake of signing an executive order targetting TikTok’s parent organization, ByteDance, an American TV channel detailed.

The improvement came after Trump gave an executive order on August 14, expecting ByteDance to strip its inclinations in video-sharing app TikTok’s activities in the US within 90 days.

“There is credible evidence that leads me to believe that ByteDance … might take action that threatens to impair the national security of the United States,” the US President said in the order.

The new order came after a previous executive order was signed by Trump. The past order could have constrained US-based app stores to quit circulating the TikTok app if ByteDance didn’t arrive at a deal to strip from it in 45 days.

Under the most recent order, ByteDance is relied upon to decimate every one of its copies of TikTok information appended to American clients.

Prior this month, US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said that the Trump administration is “working hard” to protect Americans from the dangers of “untrusted vendors”, for example, TikTok and WeChat, which it wants to remove from US app stores like those worked by Apple and Google.

US government officials have repeatedly censured TikTok, owned by Beijing-based startup ByteDance, of being a danger to national security as a result of its connections to the Chinese Communist Party.

China and the US are at loggerheads on a variety of issues including Hong Kong national security law, the South China Sea, coronavirus, and trade.

A month ago, India’s ministry of electronics and information technology (MEITY) banned 47 apps, which were variations and cloned copies of the 59 apps banned before in June.

These banned clones incorporate Tiktok Lite, Helo Lite, SHAREit Lite, BIGO LIVE Lite, and VFY Lite.

The 59 apps, the greater part of which were Chinese, had been banned by the Indian government taking into account the data accessible that they are occupied with activities which are “prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity and defence” of the nation.

The ban came amid the standoff between Indian and Chinese soldiers in eastern Ladakh.
