As China and US continue to lock horns over TIK Tok, Beijing on Monday accused the Trump administration of abusing national power by trying to ban TikTok, as a federal court gave the video app's US operations a stay of execution. A US government order had sought to ban new downloads of the Chinese-owned app but allow use of TikTok until November 12 when all use would be blocked. President Donald Trump claims the popular app poses a national security threat and harvests data for Beijing, allegations that it denies. ByteDance has begun discussing a complex transfer of ownership to Silicon Valley giant Oracle.
