Many young TikTok users are so desperate to keep the app around that they launched a movement called "saveTikTok" on social media.

TikTok star Griffin Johnson tweeted on Saturday that it had given him "a lot of friends and memories that I will forever be thankful for".

TikTok明星博主格里芬·約翰遜8月1日發佈推文稱，TikTok帶給他太多朋友和回憶，他將永遠感激這一平臺。

TikTok CEO Kevin Mayer said in a blog post on Wednesday that the reason his company was under scrutiny was because of its Chinese origins.

TikTok首席執行官凱文·梅耶爾在7月29日發佈的一則博文中稱，TikTok面臨審查是因爲它有“中國血統”。

Under the grand framework of China-US strategic gaming, the rise of TikTok is symbolic of the challenge to US dominance in information technology, said Shen Yi, professor and director of the Research Institution of Global Cyberspace Governance at Fudan University in Shanghai.

上海復旦大學網絡空間國際治理研究基地主任沈逸教授稱，在中美戰略博弈的大框架下，TikTok崛起代表了中國正對美國在信息技術領域的優勢發起挑戰，這可能引起白宮的狂怒。

"This is likely to cause fury in the White House," he said. Shen said TikTok's success, especially its popularity among the younger generation of American users, stands to showcase a true China to local audiences and could help destroy the "evil China image" that the Trump administration has long been fabricating. "This is a fight for supremacy over discourse and ideology."

沈逸表示，TikTok的成功，尤其是在美國年輕一代中流行，將給當地受衆展示真實的中國，這可能幫助打破特朗普政府長期以來捏造的邪惡中國的形象，這是一場話語權和意識形態領域的戰爭。
