The United States Senate passed legislation on Tuesday requiring widely used social media app TikTok to be divested from its Chinese parent company ByteDance or be shut out of the US market, a move that Beijing has previously denounced strongly.▲US flag and TikTok logo are seen through broken glass in this illustration taken March 20, 2024. [Photo/Agencies]Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin didn't provide further comment on the bill at Wednesday's daily news conference."I and my colleagues and the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce have previously made clear China's principled position," he told reporters.The legislation is an updated version of a bill that the US House of Representatives approved in March. At the time, Wang slammed the bill, saying that the move "puts the US on the opposite side of the principle of fair competition and international trade rules".He called the passage of the bill an attempt to "try every means to snatch from others all things that are good"
