TIKTOK TUSSLE shows the uneven ECONOMIC DECOUPLING increase between the U.S. & CHINA (BLOG 2)

 Just last month the craze over TikTok increased. But this is what President Trump thas taken this is a national security threat and Chinese companies ownership. On Saturday the President talked about a deal with Walmart and Oracle which included partnering up with TikTok in a new U.S. controlled company. The commerce team abruptly then announced on Friday that they would ban both Tiktok as well as WeChat another Chinese Application. But the Federal Judge later issued a temporary injunction which blocked the WeChat ban meaning that both of the Apps are still working in the U.S.

Chinas Foreign Ministry groused that is was a showcase of Washington's hideous agenda of robbery and economic bullying. The U.S. and China have not been on good terms either. the Chinese government put out a new global data in order to be able to outflank their rival's (U.S) Initiative. The Chinese Ambassador quit the his post in Beijing who preferred to help Trump in his reelection bid. 

Two of the largest economies in the world are fighting against each other and are drifting apart in ever situation be in technological or Industrial. Do you think it may lead to a nuclear war in the future if things get worse between the two countries.

The two countries have been at each other's throats for a while now, and will continue to do so. China is emerging as a strong economic country that threatens the USA's position as the world power. Therefore, USA will continue to impose tariffs to halt the economic progress in China. I do not believe that this would lead to a nuclear war. A nuclear war would be a mutually assured destruction and will not benefit either country.

Google, which is American, is restricted in China because of "communism", and the Chinese government controls the level of information accessible to its people. So Trump doesn't want Chinese apps to take advantage of the US market as well. Now, there are many questions that arise and I think there are many other reasons which are making Trump take such actions/decisions. On the other hand, the two countries have had a handful of conflicts and those were mainly economical. It is a trade war between the two super powers. I think that a nuclear war might be a reach. I do believe it could happen but the probability of that is very low due to the remnants of WWII.
