US: Tensions between the United States and China continue to simmer with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saying Monday that Washington was “certainly looking at” banning Chinese social media apps including Tik Tok.
“I don’t want to get out in front of the President (Donald Trump), but it’s something we’re looking at,” Pompeo said in an interview with Fox News.
The development comes a few days after India announced it was boycotting 59 Chinese mobile apps following a deadly clash between China and India, resulting in at least 20 soldiers of the latter getting killed.
China, last week, expressed strong concern over India’s ban of Chinese mobile apps.
