Officials are currently reviewing Chinese apps' security risks
The White House is reviewing the national security risks posed by Chinese apps such as TikTok, WeChat, and more, and could take action on them within weeks, said Chief of Staff Mark Meadows on Wednesday, July 15.
The comment comes about a week after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed in an interview that the United States is “looking at” banning Chinese social media apps such as TikTok and urged citizens to uninstall the apps if they don’t want their “private information in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.”
“TikTok is led by an American CEO, with hundreds of employees and key leaders across safety, security, product, and public policy here in the U.S.,” the spokesperson added. “We have no higher priority than promoting a safe and secure app experience for our users. We have never provided user data to the Chinese government, nor would we do so if asked.”
