THE US administration has vowed to "take action" in a matter of days against Chinese software companies that it perceives as a risk to security, in a sign that Washington is set to broaden its offensive beyond the video-sharing app TikTok, reported London's Financial Times.
ByteDance, the Chinese owner of TikTok, is racing to save the app's US operations with a plea to the administration to allow it to sell the unit to Microsoft.
Comments from US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo suggested that additional action against a wider range of Chinese technology companies would follow.
"These Chinese software companies doing business in the United States, whether it's TikTok or WeChat ¡ª there are countless more . . . are feeding data directly to the Chinese Communist Party, their national security apparatus," Mr Pompeo told Fox News.
