美 "틱톡은 中 트로이 목마...사용자 데이터 수집 수단"

We begin with some breaking news tonight. The fate of TikTok could fall into the hands of the next administration. President-elect Trump today asking the Supreme Court to push back the deadline for a possible ban on the CCP-linked platform. Some of Trump's attorneys said Trump will, quote, negotiate a resolution to save the platform while addressing the national security concerns. Earlier this year, Congress passed a bipartisan bill that would force TikTok to divest from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, or else face a ban in the U.S. market. Lawmakers and national security experts said the app could serve as the Trojan horse for China to harvest American user data. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear TikTok's challenges to the law next month. But as of now, the social media platform will be dropped from app stores on January 19, which is one day before Trump's inauguration. The U.S. condemns the Hong Kong government over issuing arrest warrants for pro-democracy activists living abroad. The State Department is calling on Hong Kong to stop using its so-called national security laws to silence dissidents. NDD's Jason Blair reports. The United States condemns six new arrest warrants and bounties issued by the Hong Kong government targeting pro-democracy activists in other countries. In a statement, the U.S. Department of State says the U.S. rejects the Hong Kong government's efforts to intimidate and silence people who choose to make the U.S. their home. The department says the extra-territorial application of Hong Kong's national security law is a form of transnational repression that threatens U.S. sovereignty and the human rights and fundamental freedoms of people all over the world. These actions demonstrate Hong Kong authorities disregard for international norms and for the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful Since 2020, the Chinese Communist Party, or CCP, has imposed a national security law in Hong Kong. The city was previously a colony of the U.K. until it was returned to China under the Sino-British Declaration. The national security law has given Beijing extensive control to crack down on dissent and erode Hong Kong's previous freedoms. Reporting in Washington, D.C., Jason Blair, NTD News.
