According to CCTV News, on August 8, local time, the official website of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs released the comments on the US ban on TikTok by Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zakharova.
The commentary stated that Washington’s recent order to ban TikTok is to protect the dominance of the US Internet giant and violates the rules of the World Trade Organization. The actions against TikTok are “another example of the US’s unfair competition for dominance in the information field”.

The commentary stated that the U.S. has taken unreasonable restrictive actions against social media TikTok and violated U.S. international obligations, including ensuring the free and widespread dissemination of all forms of information, ensuring that audiences freely choose information sources, and promoting relevant cooperation in this field. .
The comment also stated that based on unconfirmed accusations, the United States prohibited its citizens from using TikTok under the Chinese company “ByteDance”, and then forced “ByteDance” to sell TikTok to a US company. This is another example of the improper economic competition that the United States is striving for dominance in the international information space. The commentary emphasized that the actions of the US authorities violated the basic principles of a free market economy and violated the rules of the WTO. They tried to justify their wanton suppression of Chinese competitors and intended to annex them on the grounds of safeguarding national security. This scheme is extremely brazen.
NTN House learned that Zakharova also urged the United States to consider whether its “method to maintain the monopoly of US Internet giants” is consistent with “democratic values” and international law.
