New York: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the United States is looking at banning Chinese social media apps, including TikTok.
"I don't want to get out in front of the President (Donald Trump), but it's something we're looking at," Pompeo said.
Pompeo also said that the United States has to take a different path with regard to China.
Meanwhile, the popular short video app TikTok said it is stopping working in Hong Kong due to recent events. The move by TikTok, owned by China-based ByteDance, came as Facebook, Google and Twitter put a hold on requests by Hong Kong's government or police force for information on users.
