我們都不賣 | 字節跳動正探索不出售TikTok美國業務的解決方案

微軟公司9月13日發聲明稱：“字節跳動公司今天告訴我們，不會向微軟出售TikTok的美國業務。”

微軟公司稱：“相信我們的提議有利於TikTok用戶，同時保護國家安全利益。要做到這點，我們必須做出重大改變，以確保服務符合安全、隱私、在線安全和打擊虛假信息的最高標準。我們也在8月份的聲明中明確了這些原則。期待看到（TikTok在美服務）在這些重要領域的發展。”

9月14日外交部例行記者會上，有記者就字節跳動公司不會向微軟出售TikTok（抖音國際版）業務一事提問。

外交部發言人汪文斌表示，中方已多次就TikTok問題闡明立場。TikTok在美遭遇“圍獵”， 是典型的政府脅迫交易。美國個別政客，一方面鼓吹要實現公平、對等，構建所謂的“清潔網絡”，另一方面卻又在拿不出任何證據的情況下，泛化國家安全概念，濫用國家力量，對某一領域取得領先優勢的非美國企業，進行無理打壓和百般脅迫。這充分暴露了美方某些政客強取豪奪的真實用意和經濟霸凌的醜陋面目。中方對此堅決反對，我們將堅定支持相關企業維護自身合法權益，堅定維護國際經貿規則。

ByteDance will not sell TikTok's U.S. operations to Microsoft or Oracle, nor will the company give the source code to any U.S. buyers, sources said. 

Microsoft on Sunday said ByteDance will not be selling TikTok's U.S. operations to the company. 

"ByteDance let us know today they would not be selling TikTok's U.S. operations to Microsoft. We are confident our proposal would have been good for TikTok's users, while protecting national security interests," Microsoft said in a statement.

The sources confirmed the statement. 

Another bidder for the wildly popular social media platform, Oracle, is reportedly gaining the upper hand as its negotiations for TikTok's U.S. operations have intensified in recent days, according to a Wall Street Journal report on Sunday citing people with knowledge of the matter. 

據《華爾街日報》週日援引知情人士消息稱，世界第二大軟件公司甲骨文（Oracle）在此輪和微軟公司競標收購TikTok中佔據上風，甲骨文或被宣佈成爲TikTok在美國的“信任技術合作夥伴”，但交易可能不會以直接出售的方式進行。

但據知情人士告訴CGTN記者，字節跳動也不會將TikTok的美國業務出售給甲骨文。

截至發稿，TikTok母公司字節跳動未就此事發表評論。

Another bidder for the wildly popular social media platform, Oracle, is reportedly gaining the upper hand as its negotiations for TikTok's U.S. operations have intensified in recent days, according to a Wall Street Journal report on Sunday citing people with knowledge of the matter. 

Oracle is going to be picked as TikTok's "trusted tech partner" in the U.S., the report said. 

However, CGTN has learned from sources that ByteDance will also not sell TikTok's U.S. operations to Oracle.

ByteDance has declined to comment on this matter by press time. 

另一方面，香港《南華早報》13日報道，有消息人士透露，字節跳動不會向美國買家出售或轉讓TikTok的算法源代碼，但TikTok美國技術團隊可以開發新算法。

這類操作就好比，框架可以出售，但核心業務不能。

此前9月9日，美國《華爾街日報》援引消息稱，字節跳動正在與美國政府協商，設法避免全盤出售TikTok在美國業務。

8月底，中國發布了一份修訂後的《中國禁止出口限制出口技術目錄》，這意味着字節跳動必須獲得中國政府的許可，才能繼續將TikTok出售給美國的公司。

字節跳動在人工智能領域擁有許多前沿技術，其中一些技術可能與商務部調整後的目錄密切相關。

U.S. President Donald Trump set a deadline last month for TikTok to be sold to a U.S. company by September 15 or face a ban, citing national security reasons. 

China released a revised catalog of technologies that are subject to export bans or restrictions at the end of August, which means that ByteDance may have to obtain a license from the government to proceed with TikTok's sale to an American company. 

對外經濟貿易大學國際經貿學院博士生導師崔凡對CGTN記者表示：“新增加的第21條關於'基於數據分析的個性化信息推送服務技術‘和第18條關於‘人工智能交互界面技術’可能與字節跳動此輪收購有關。”

專家表示，這是典型的技術服務出口。“如果字節跳動計劃出口相關技術，它應該通過審批程序。”崔說，“科技公司在國際業務上的快速發展依賴於其強大的國內技術支持，繼而轉向海外公司提供最新的核心算法服務。”

ByteDance boasts a number of cutting-edge technologies in artificial intelligence and other spheres, and some technologies may have a close bearing on the adjusted catalog. 

"The newly-added article 21 over 'personalized information push service technology based on data analysis' and article 18 about 'artificial intelligence interactive interface technology' may have something to do with ByteDance," said Cui Fan, a professor of international trade at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing. 

The expert said it is a typical technical service export. "If ByteDance plans to export-related technologies, it should go through the approval procedures," Cui said. "The company's rapid development in international business relies on its strong domestic technical support, and it continues to provide overseas companies with its latest core algorithm service." 

8月23日，特朗普政府對TikTok提出了行政禁令。“我們不會輕易起訴政府”， TikTok公司在博客中聲明。“但是，我們別無選擇，只能採取法律行動來維護自己的權利。”

由於特朗普政府推動出售TikTok在美業務，TikTok公司的結構發生了一系列變化。TikTok首席執行官凱文·梅耶爾(Kevin Mayer)在短暫上任後，即提出了離職。

字節跳動CEO張一鳴表示：“公司正在迅速行動，探索不出售TikTok美國業務的辦法。”

他說，“我可以向你們保證，我們正在尋求符合用戶、創造者、合作伙伴和員工利益的解決方案。”

TikTok filed a lawsuit following Trump's executive order. "We do not take suing the government lightly," TikTok said in a blog post. "However, we feel we have no choice but to take action to protect our rights." 

Prompted by a series of changes to the company's structure "as a result of the Trump administration's action to push for a sell-off of the U.S. business," TikTok CEO Kevin Mayer resigned just months after becoming chief executive of the Chinese video-sharing app. 

Zhang Yiming, chairman of ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, said the company is moving quickly to find solutions to the issues it faces globally. "I can assure you that we are developing solutions that will be in the interest of users, creators, partners, and employees," he said.
