The United States should stop making groundless allegations against Chinese companies including TikTok and give them a level playing field, the Chinese Ambassador to the United States, Cui Tiankai has said, Xinhua reports. "Very often we hear complaints here that we don't give a level playing field to American companies. But more and more, I believe we should complain Chinese companies are not having a level playing field here," he said. "It's not fair to make such allegations without giving any evidence and to accuse China of not giving American companies a level playing field while at the same time they themselves are denying Chinese companies such a level playing field. A similar executive order has also been issued for WeChat, a messaging and social media app owned by China's Tencent.
