ABSTRACT

TikTok is a popular mobile video app used globally, which has aroused interests and disagreements among various stakeholders. However, in August 2020, President Donald Trump banned TikTok in the USA, relating to groundless national emergency claims. The executive order states that TikTok and its core technology will be banned within the next 45 days unless American companies take over the ownership before the due date. By using Critical Discourse Analysis, this paper examines international media’s attitude of TikTok, and the government’s expectation. Overall, international media’s stance toward the ownership of TikTok and its valuable algorithm varies, but TikTok user’s benefits are not concerned, and discrimination of the Chinese public and government still exists.
