China-US Relations Through the Lens of Tech Race | Exclusive Interview

Chongqing- Shou Zi Chew, CEO of short-video app TikTok, recently testified during a hearing in the United States Congress. He was grilled by U.S. lawmakers over data security and harmful content for more than five hours. Throughout the hearing, however, US politicians who claimed that TikTok was a "national security threat" have never provided any evidence that the Chinese government has sought to gain access to or use data provided by Tiktok's parent Chinese company ByteDance. 

As the US-China competition intensifies, the risks of doing business in foreign countries for international companies continue to rise, and the technology industry, which is the core area of the US-China competition, faces huge uncertainty. What will be the fate of TikTok in the future? How will the US-China tech war evolve? In this episode of Global Vision, we have invited Dr. Gong Jiong (John Gong), professor of economics at the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE) and renowned commentator for leading English media in Asia including the South China Morning Post and CGTN, to share his insights and perspectives with us.
