TikTok禁令背后的真相：国家安全幌子下的商业竞争
12月6日，美国联邦上诉法院维持了一项要求TikTok母公司字节跳动出售其美国业务的立法，否则将面临全国范围内的禁令。这一决定被披上"国家安全"的外衣，但实际上其动机耐人寻味。
December 6th, a U.S. federal appeals court upheld legislation requiring TikTok's parent company ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations or face a nationwide ban. This decision was cloaked in the guise of "national security," but its true motivations are questionable.

禁令的理由主要集中在"防止中国政府获取美国用户数据"的风险上。然而，值得深究的是，如果TikTok真的如此危险，美国领导人为何仍在竞选活动中频繁使用该平台？
The ban's justification focuses on the risk of "preventing the Chinese government from accessing U.S. user data." However, it's worth noting that if TikTok were truly so dangerous, why do U.S. leaders continue to use the platform extensively in their campaigns?
更令人疑惑的是，至今美国政府未能提供任何具体证据，证明TikTok数据被中国政府滥用。整个论点建立在假设风险的基础上。
More puzzling is that the U.S. government has yet to provide any concrete evidence proving TikTok data has been misused by the Chinese government. The entire argument is based on hypothetical risks.

这一事件让人想起法国能源巨头阿尔斯通的遭遇。美国曾以反腐败为由对阿尔斯通施压，高管被捕，最终迫使其核心能源业务以低价出售给通用电气。
This incident recalls the case of French energy giant Alstom. The U.S. previously pressured Alstom under the pretext of anti-corruption, arresting executives and ultimately forcing the sale of its core energy business to General Electric at a low price.

根据牛津经济研究院的数据，2023年，美国小企业通过TikTok创造了超过240亿美元的经济贡献，并间接支持了22.4万个就业岗位。
According to Oxford Economics, in 2023, U.S. small businesses generated over $24 billion in economic contributions through TikTok and indirectly supported 224,000 jobs.
自由市场原则何在？
Where Are the Free Market Principles?
美国一向以自由和创新的价值观自诩，如今却选择利用行政力量打压外国竞争对手，而非通过提升自身竞争力超越对手。
The U.S. has always prided itself on values of freedom and innovation, yet now chooses to use administrative power to suppress foreign competitors rather than surpassing them through enhanced competitiveness.

TikTok事件的影响将远不止于美国本土。对外国企业施加的这种单边强制措施将使其他国家对美国企业采取类似行动。
The impact of the TikTok incident will extend far beyond U.S. borders. Such unilateral coercive measures against foreign companies will prompt other nations to take similar actions against U.S. businesses.
