我们都不卖 | 字节跳动正探索不出售TikTok美国业务的解决方案

微软公司9月13日发声明称：“字节跳动公司今天告诉我们，不会向微软出售TikTok的美国业务。”

微软公司称：“相信我们的提议有利于TikTok用户，同时保护国家安全利益。要做到这点，我们必须做出重大改变，以确保服务符合安全、隐私、在线安全和打击虚假信息的最高标准。我们也在8月份的声明中明确了这些原则。期待看到（TikTok在美服务）在这些重要领域的发展。”

9月14日外交部例行记者会上，有记者就字节跳动公司不会向微软出售TikTok（抖音国际版）业务一事提问。

外交部发言人汪文斌表示，中方已多次就TikTok问题阐明立场。TikTok在美遭遇“围猎”， 是典型的政府胁迫交易。美国个别政客，一方面鼓吹要实现公平、对等，构建所谓的“清洁网络”，另一方面却又在拿不出任何证据的情况下，泛化国家安全概念，滥用国家力量，对某一领域取得领先优势的非美国企业，进行无理打压和百般胁迫。这充分暴露了美方某些政客强取豪夺的真实用意和经济霸凌的丑陋面目。中方对此坚决反对，我们将坚定支持相关企业维护自身合法权益，坚定维护国际经贸规则。

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. 

据《华尔街日报》周日援引知情人士消息称，世界第二大软件公司甲骨文（Oracle）在此轮和微软公司竞标收购TikTok中占据上风，甲骨文或被宣布成为TikTok在美国的“信任技术合作伙伴”，但交易可能不会以直接出售的方式进行。

但据知情人士告诉CGTN记者，字节跳动也不会将TikTok的美国业务出售给甲骨文。

截至发稿，TikTok母公司字节跳动未就此事发表评论。

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《南华早报》13日报道，有消息人士透露，字节跳动不会向美国买家出售或转让TikTok的算法源代码，但TikTok美国技术团队可以开发新算法。

这类操作就好比，框架可以出售，但核心业务不能。

此前9月9日，美国《华尔街日报》援引消息称，字节跳动正在与美国政府协商，设法避免全盘出售TikTok在美国业务。

8月底，中国发布了一份修订后的《中国禁止出口限制出口技术目录》，这意味着字节跳动必须获得中国政府的许可，才能继续将TikTok出售给美国的公司。

字节跳动在人工智能领域拥有许多前沿技术，其中一些技术可能与商务部调整后的目录密切相关。

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. 

对外经济贸易大学国际经贸学院博士生导师崔凡对CGTN记者表示：“新增加的第21条关于'基于数据分析的个性化信息推送服务技术‘和第18条关于‘人工智能交互界面技术’可能与字节跳动此轮收购有关。”

专家表示，这是典型的技术服务出口。“如果字节跳动计划出口相关技术，它应该通过审批程序。”崔说，“科技公司在国际业务上的快速发展依赖于其强大的国内技术支持，继而转向海外公司提供最新的核心算法服务。”

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，特朗普政府对TikTok提出了行政禁令。“我们不会轻易起诉政府”， TikTok公司在博客中声明。“但是，我们别无选择，只能采取法律行动来维护自己的权利。”

由于特朗普政府推动出售TikTok在美业务，TikTok公司的结构发生了一系列变化。TikTok首席执行官凯文·梅耶尔(Kevin Mayer)在短暂上任后，即提出了离职。

字节跳动CEO张一鸣表示：“公司正在迅速行动，探索不出售TikTok美国业务的办法。”

他说，“我可以向你们保证，我们正在寻求符合用户、创造者、合作伙伴和员工利益的解决方案。”

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.
