China hints at retaliation after US President Biden signs Taiwan, TikTok legislation

China hinted on Monday that it could retaliate after U.S. President Joe Biden signed into law legislation to boost Taiwan’s defences and seeks to get TikTok’s Chinese owner to divest from the social media platform.
Biden signed the legislation on a military aid package on Wednesday, with most of the money going to Ukraine to help it fend off Russia’s invasion and to Israel. He also signed a separate bill tied to the aid legislation that bans TikTok in the United States if its Chinese owner ByteDance fails to divest the app over the next nine months to a year.
