"How unsure of itself can the world’s top superpower be to fear a young people’s favorite app like that?" Mao asked. "The U.S. has been over-stretching the concept of national security and abusing state power to suppress foreign companies." Director Shalanda Young instructed federal agencies on Monday to develop a plan to delete TikTok from all government devices and systems within 30 days, according to a memo obtained by FOX Business.

"We firmly oppose those wrong actions," Mao said of the act. "The U.S. government should respect the principles of market economy and fair competition, stop suppressing the companies and provide an open, fair and non-discriminatory environment for foreign companies in the U.S."Shalanda Young, director of the Office of Management and Budget nominee for President Biden, speaks during a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee confirmation hearing on Feb.
