China on Thursday urged the United States (US) to stop their "unreasonable suppression" of TikTok, after Washington gave the popular video-sharing app an ultimatum to part ways with its Chinese owners or face a US ban.
It came as the United Kingdom (UK) announced a security ban on the video app on government devices, in line with action by Washington and Brussels.
