WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 (Xinhua) - The United States should quit making baseless claims against Chinese organizations including TikTok and give them a level playing field, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai has said.
"I don't believe there's a proof that any organization is giving such data to the Chinese government. Individuals make these charges, yet they never show any proof," said Cui in light of the U.S. government's claims that TikTok may give its information to the Chinese government when he was going to the 2020 Aspen Security Forum on Aug. 4.
"All the time we hear objections here that we don't give a level playing field to American organizations. Be that as it may, to an ever increasing extent, I accept we ought to gripe Chinese organizations are not having a level playing field here," he said.
"There is such an extent of political mediation, government intercession into the market. There's such a victimization Chinese organization. These organizations are simply privately owned businesses," the envoy said.
"It's not reasonable for make such claims without giving any proof and to blame China for not giving American organizations a level playing field while simultaneously they themselves are denying Chinese organizations such a level playing field. This is incredibly unjustifiable," he said.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday gave a chief request restricting any U.S. exchanges with Chinese tech firm ByteDance, proprietor of TikTok, beginning in 45 days.
