Topics
David Brancaccio: 我认为TikTok的案例表明,在某些时候,受欢迎程度甚至可以凌驾于法律之上。尽管美国颁布了一项旨在限制其运营的法律,但TikTok一次又一次地获得了延期。这反映出TikTok在美国社会和经济中扮演的重要角色,以及完全禁止它可能带来的复杂后果。 Kimberly Adams: 我了解到,最初,美国政府对TikTok的安全风险非常重视,特别是考虑到它是一家中国公司,可能受到中国政府的影响。然而,随着时间的推移,政府的关注点似乎发生了变化,更多地转向了商业利益和实际影响。这可能与TikTok在美国的广泛使用及其对经济的贡献有关。 Kenton Teba: 我认为,特朗普政府对TikTok的态度转变,反映出国家安全考量与商业现实之间的权衡。最初,政府可能更倾向于从国家安全的角度出发,但后来,他们可能意识到完全禁止TikTok会对经济和就业产生负面影响。因此,政府开始寻求一种既能解决安全问题,又能维护商业利益的解决方案。 Dylan Smith: 我认为,市场对TikTok的态度反映出人们对TikTok最终命运的预期。最初,当政府威胁要禁止TikTok时,品牌投资有所减少。但随着延期的出现,人们逐渐相信TikTok不会被完全禁止,因此投资也恢复了。这表明,市场对TikTok的长期前景持乐观态度,并认为它将继续在美国运营。 Hillary Brasseth: 我观察到,字节跳动在华盛顿的游说活动显著增加,这表明他们正在积极争取政府的支持,以维持其在美国的运营。通过增加游说支出,字节跳动试图影响政策制定者,让他们相信TikTok对美国经济和社会有益,并且可以解决安全问题。到目前为止,这些努力似乎取得了一些成功,因为TikTok已经多次获得延期。

Shownotes Transcript

A bipartisan law slated to kick in in January would have required TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the app to an American company or be banned. But the Trump administration delayed the law's implementation for a third time this week. We'll unpack how we got here and chart the app's path forward. Plus: how one U.S. shoemaker is planning to shift the balance from imports to domestic production.
