China has asked the United States to solve their TikTok disagreement through calm and respectful talks. Both countries will meet next week in Madrid, Spain, to discuss the future of the popular social media app.
The U.S. government wants TikTok to be sold to a non-Chinese company or face a ban in the United States. The deadline for this decision is September 17, after President Donald Trump extended it several times. The reason for this is that U.S. officials are worried about national security linked to the app, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance.
China’s Commerce Ministry said it is important for both countries to work together based on mutual respect and fair discussions. Beijing believes that solving the issue through dialogue will help both sides keep good business relations and allow companies like TikTok to operate fairly in the U.S.
In the upcoming meeting, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will meet Chinese leaders, including Vice Premier He Lifeng, to talk about TikTok and other economic and trade issues.
For millions of TikTok users around the world, the result of this meeting will be important. Will the app stay, or will it be forced to leave the U.S.? The world is watching as these two major powers try to find a peaceful solution.
