It also puts President Biden’s China policy under a new spotlight as China’s economic power continues to grow — and the Biden administration continues to take a decidedly softer approach than its predecessor. (The New York Times has not independently verified BuzzFeed’s reporting.) 关于中国拥有的视频应用TikTok是否将美国人的个人信息暴露给北京，BuzzFeed的一篇爆炸性报道引发了更多问题。随着中国经济实力的持续增长，拜登总统的中国政策也受到新的关注——而拜登政府还在使用明显比前任更为温和的做法。（《纽约时报》尚未独立证实BuzzFeed的报道。） Here’s a quick TikTok recap. During Donald Trump’s presidency, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., which reviews outside investments with national security in mind, opened an investigation into TikTok. Trump used its results to issue an executive order forcing ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent, to divest the company. That is what led TikTok to strike a deal to sell to Oracle and Walmart. But when Biden took office, he did not enforce the divestment order — and ByteDance didn’t sell. Concerns about China’s access to personal information stored by TikTok, though, remained. Earlier this year, TikTok was working on a deal to store its data on Oracle servers to please regulators, and the BuzzFeed article says such a deal is still in the works. 下面是TikTok事件的简要回顾。在特朗普总统任内，出于国家安全考虑，审查外部投资的美国外国投资委员会对TikTok展开了调查。特朗普利用调查结果发布了一项行政命令，迫使TikTok的中国母公司字节跳动剥离该公司。TikTok为此与甲骨文和沃尔玛达成了出售协议。但当拜登上任后，他没有执行撤资令——字节跳动也没有出售TikTok。但对于中国获取TikTok存储的个人信息的担忧仍然存在。今年早些时候，TikTok正在努力达成一项协议，将数据存储在甲骨文的服务器上，以取悦监管机构。BuzzFeed的文章称，该交易仍在进行中。 Chinese engineers had access to data on Americans as recently as this year, BuzzFeed reports. “Everything is seen in China,” a member of TikTok’s trust and safety department reportedly said in a meeting last September, and U.S. employees had to ask their Chinese colleagues to explain how data from U.S. users was flowing. The article also cites concerns by experts that, whatever measures ByteDance puts in place, China could still force it to hand over data. It hasn’t hesitated to push tech companies around in recent years. 据BuzzFeed报道，就在今年，中国的工程师还能接触到美国人的数据。据报道，TikTok的信任与安全部门的一名成员在去年9月的一次会议上说，“一切都能在中国看到”，美国员工不得不要求中国同事解释美国用户的数据是如何流动的。文中还引用专家的担忧，他们认为无论字节跳动采取何种措施，中国仍有可能迫使其交出数据。近年来，中国一直毫不犹豫地对科技公司发号施令。 The deal with Oracle is supposed to be the solution. Shortly before BuzzFeed published its article, TikTok announced that it was moving all the data from its American users through servers controlled by Oracle. But it also said it would still store its own backups of that information. And TikTok itself has acknowledged the risk that employees in China might get access to data stored in the U.S. TikTok said in a blog post on Friday that it was “working closely with Oracle to develop data management protocols that Oracle will audit and manage to give users even more peace of mind.” It also outlined other operational changes, including a new department to solely manage U.S. data. 与甲骨文的交易被视为解决方案。就在BuzzFeed发表文章前不久，TikTok宣布，它正在通过甲骨文控制的服务器转移美国用户的所有数据。但该公司也表示，仍会存储自己的信息备份。TikTok自己也承认，中国员工有可能访问存储在美国的数据，这样的风险是存在的。TikTok在周五的一篇博客文章中表示，它正在“与甲骨文密切合作，制定数据管理协议，甲骨文将审核和管理这些协议，让用户更加放心”。声明还概述了其他运营变化，包括成立一个专门管理美国数据的部门。 The article raises questions about Biden’s approach to TikTok and Chinese deal-making. “Not following through with a TikTok ban was a huge mistake” on the part of the U.S., said Palmer Luckey, the founder of Oculus. More broadly, U.S. regulatory scrutiny seems to have helped minimize further Chinese investment in the country, but despite warnings that regulators might look again at a score of past investments, they have taken little apparent action. And while Congress is threatening to crack down on U.S. companies’ investments in China, it is far from certain a bill will pass. For Biden, the timing of the BuzzFeed story is awkward, given that he is also weighing a rollback of another remnant of Trump’s tough-on-China era: tariffs on Chinese goods. With midterm elections ahead, will he risk rattling the youth vote by taking another look at TikTok? 对于TikTok和中国交易的处理，BuzzFeed的文章对拜登提出了质疑。Oculus的创始人帕尔默·勒基说，美国方面“没有跟进TikTok禁令是一个巨大的错误”。更广泛地说，美国监管机构的审查似乎有助于最大限度地减少中国在美国的进一步投资。不过，尽管有人警告，监管机构可能会重新审视过去的一些投资，但他们几乎没有采取明显的行动。虽然国会威胁要打击美国公司在中国的投资，但还远不能确定是否会通过一项法案。对拜登来说，BuzzFeed报道的时机有些尴尬，因为他还在考虑收回特朗普对中国强硬时代的另一个遗留问题：对中国商品征收关税。在中期选举即将到来之际，他是否会冒着激怒年轻选民的风险，再次盯上TikTok？ 本文节译自时报交易录(DealBook)新闻电邮。 翻译：纽约时报中文网 点击查看本文英文版。 相关报道TikTok是如何让你上瘾的2021年12月10日 TikTok考验拜登对中国科技公司立场2021年1月18日 TikTok事件暴露美国对华战略短视2020年9月22日 别被TikTok蒙蔽了中国的软实力野心2020年9月21日 最受欢迎中国新研究显示奥密克戎重症率低，重启清零必要性争论 珍宝海鲜舫在南海沉没，曾承载香港一个时代的记忆 中国楼市转冷，刺激措施能否重新唤起购房热情？ 中国电动车电池供应链亮起强迫劳动红灯 中国第三艘航母“福建舰”下水，习近平迎来军事里程碑 《花香园的女儿们》：1949年夏，难以跨越的海峡 拜登在TikTok和中国的问题上犯错了吗？ 通胀走向顽固，数百万美国人面临经济“悬崖” 亚裔美国人为何成为种族主义暴力的攻击对象 中国“天眼”真的发现疑似地外文明信号了吗？ 国际 中国 商业与经济 镜头 科技 科学 健康 教育 文化 风尚 旅游 房地产 观点与评论 免费下载 纽约时报中文网 iOS 和 Android App 点击下载iOS App点击下载Android App点击下载Android APK © 2022 The New York Times Company.
