On September 28, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference. A reporter from Deutsche Presse-Agentur asked: The German Minister of Culture and Media said in an interview yesterday that "Europe should follow the example of the United States on the TikTok issue. If a foreign country would use users' sensitive information, this is very dangerous for Europe's democratic process." He also stressed that Europe should keep TikTok's European business in the hands of Europeans. What is China's comment on this? In response, Guo Jiakun said: "China's position on the TikTok issue is consistent and clear."
