On Monday, Canada announced it was joining the US in banning TikTok from all government-issued mobile devices.
Congress and more than half of US states have bannedTikTok is used by two-thirds of American teenagers but there is concern in Washington that China could use its legal and regulatory powers to obtain private user data or to push misinformation or narratives favouring China.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson, Mao Ning, said the US government was"overstretching the concept of national security and abusing state power to suppress other countries' companies". On Washington's insecurities, Ms Ning said:"How unsure of itself can the US, the world's top superpower, be to fear a young person's favourite app to such a degree?"
