US bill would ban TikTok from app stores unless ByteDance divests it
美国拟立法迫使字节跳动从TikTok退股
Republican and Democratic lawmakers have introduced legislation that would ban app stores from distributing TikTok unless ByteDance, its Chinese owner, divests control of the popular video-sharing platform.
美国共和党和民主党议员已提出立法，规定除非TikTok的中国所有者字节跳动(ByteDance)放弃对这个热门视频分享平台的控制权，否则将禁止TikTok在各应用商店上架。
The bipartisan bill from Mike Gallagher, the Republican chair of the House China committee, his Democratic counterpart Raja Krishnamoorthi and 17 lawmakers would give ByteDance 165 days to divest TikTok to avoid the app from being banned.
众议院中国委员会的共和党籍主席迈克•加拉格尔(Mike Gallagher)、该委员会中级别最高的民主党人拉贾•克里希纳穆尔蒂(Raja Krishnamoorthi)以及17名议员提出的这个得到两党支持的法案，将要求字节跳动在165天内从TikTok退股，否则TikTok将被禁。
The measure could have implications for the US election. President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign has started using the video streaming service to try to connect with young voters, even though the White House previously backed a bill that would have given the commerce department the authority to ban apps such as TikTok.
这一举措可能对美国大选产生影响。乔•拜登(Joe Biden)总统的连任竞选活动已经开始使用TikTok以试图与年轻选民拉近关系，尽管白宫此前曾支持一项法案，该法案将赋予美国商务部封禁TikTok等应用的权力。
