Tiktok 在美国：未来命运何去何从

Description

SBS Chinese interviewed Associated Prof. Xin Gu to discuss the recent TikTok ban in the US and the future of Chinese social media platforms outside of China. Gu discussed how the ban is based on concerns around TikTok's data collection and sharing practice, given its Chinese ownership. There are fears that TikTok could share user data with the Chinese government, raising national security concerns. The migration of American TikTok users to another Chinese social media platform Rednote (Xiaohongshu) sparks new revelations of intercultural communication and challenges for platforms to accommodate localisation and globalisation strategies simultaneously.
