黑马跃出 | 甲骨文将成为TikToK“可信技术提供商”

9月14日，美国财政部长姆努钦接受媒体采访时称，TikTok最终解决方案的截止日期是9月20日，目前两个程序正在进行，一个是美国CFIUS（美国外国投资委员会）对TikTok的审查，另一个是基于总统行政令的国家安全审查。

姆努钦称，财政部在周末接到提案，甲骨文作为TikTok可信赖的数据安全合规合作伙伴，代表解决美国国家安全问题。TikTok将继续把美国作为总部，并为美国创造2万个工作岗位。

值得注意的是，姆努钦谈到的解决方案，是甲骨文作为数据合规伙伴，类似苹果在中国由云上贵州进行数据合规的方案，并不涉及之前特朗普提到的要求TikTok出售，也不涉及TikTok的核心技术转让。

姆努钦称，本周，美国财政部将会和CFIUS委员会一起审查相关方案，并向美国总统提出审查建议。

甲骨文对外公告证实，它已经与TikTok母公司字节跳动达成协议，成为其“可信技术提供商”，但该协议仍需美国政府批准。这意味着，TikTok美国业务不再出售。

此前，美国财政部长姆努钦14日接受媒体采访时称，财政部在周末接到提案，甲骨文作为TikTok可信赖的数据安全合规合作伙伴，代表解决美国国家安全问题。方案若达成，甲骨文将为TikTok提供云上服务，类似苹果在中国由云上贵州进行数据合规的方案，并不涉及之前特朗普提到的要求TikTok出售，也不涉及TikTok的核心技术转让。

此外，据媒体报道，TikTok和美国企业的合作不仅限于甲骨文，还包括沃尔玛：“和沃尔玛的合作主要是电子商务方向。”

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Monday that the Trump administration will review a proposal received over the weekend from Oracle Corp to make short video app TikTok a U.S.-headquartered company this week.

It is notable that the plan Secretary Mnuchin talked about is Oracle as a "trusted technology partner" to TikTok, a role similar to China's Guizhou-Cloud Big Data Company to Apple Inc - a plan of the latter for data compliance in China.

Based on information released so far, the deal does not involve the sale of TikTok's U.S. operations as pushed by President Donald Trump, nor does it involve TikTok's core technology transfer, such as algorithms. 

"We have a lot of confidence in both Microsoft and Oracle, they've chosen Oracle, we'll be reviewing it with their technical teams and our technical teams to see if they can make the representations" to keep data on American phones safe, Mnuchin told CNBC television.

Mnuchin said that September 20 is the final deadline for the deal. Two investigations into TikTok will be carried out: one is a review conducted by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), and the other is a national security review based on Trump's executive order earlier. 

He added that the U.S. Treasury Department will review relevant plans with the CFIUS committee and make recommendations to the U.S. President.

Additionally, Mnuchin said that the Oracle deal includes a suggestion to create TikTok Global as a new company, continuing to use the United States as its headquarters and creating 20,000 jobs for the country. 

Oracle confirms Mnuchin's statement that it is part of the proposal submitted by ByteDance to the Treasury Department over the weekend, in which Oracle will serve as the trusted technology provider. 

Oracle has important ties to Trump's administration. Former Oracle co-CEO Safra Catz was a member of Trump's transition team, and his successor Larry Ellison hosted a fundraising event for Trump's election campaign at one of his California homes earlier this year, according to CNBC. 

ByteDance Ltd., the parent company of TikTok, declined to comment on the deal by the time of writing. 

Earlier, sources told CGTN that 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.
