白宫和国会正在处理来自各种中国社交媒体应用程序的国家安全风险，而不仅仅是TikTok。
-
商务部长吉娜-雷蒙多说，国家安全问题 “不仅仅限于TikTok”，美国手机上由中国支持的公司引起了隐私、数据和错误信息的担忧。
-
雷蒙多是乔-拜登总统内阁中推动应对来自北京日益增长的经济和战略威胁的高级官员之一。
-
商务部正带头向美国半导体行业投资约520亿美元，该行业被视为国家安全的关键资源。
-
雷蒙多还表示，政府正在仔细审查对中国某些行业的对外投资，以应对意外的后果。
-
国会的多项提案试图在美国限制TikTok，包括一项授权拜登禁止该应用程序的法案。
-
该公司在美国的业务也受到由财政部领导的美国外国投资委员会（CFIUS）的审查。
-
雷蒙多说，“通过一项法律来禁止一家公司不是处理这个问题的方法”，他提到了对言论自由和它在年轻选民中受欢迎的担忧。
-
在国内方面，雷蒙多说，美国首席执行官们最担心的是缺乏具有必要技能的工人。
-
雷蒙多还列举了首席执行官对几个问题的担忧，包括更高的利率、中国、俄罗斯对乌克兰的入侵和气候变化。

The White House and Congress are addressing national-security risks from various Chinese social-media apps, beyond just TikTok.
-
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said national-security concerns “aren’t just limited to TikTok” and that Chinese-backed companies on American phones raise privacy, data and misinformation concerns.
-
Raimondo is among top officials in President Joe Biden’s cabinet driving efforts to counter rising economic and strategic threats from Beijing.
-
The Department of Commerce is leading the way in investing about $52bn into the US semiconductor industry, which is seen as a key national-security resource.
-
Raimondo also said the administration is carefully scrutinising outbound investment into certain industries in China to counter unintended consequences.
-
Multiple proposals in Congress seek to limit TikTok in the US, including a bill that would authorise Biden to ban the app.
-
The company’s operations in the US are also under scrutiny by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US (CFIUS), which is led by the Treasury Department.
-
Raimondo said "passing a law to ban a single company is not the way to deal with this issue”, citing concerns about freedom of speech and its popularity with young voters.
-
On the domestic front, Raimondo said the top concern among US chief executives is a lack of workers with the necessary skills.
-
Raimondo also cited CEO worries over several issues, including higher interest rates, China, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and climate change.
