Beijing [China], September 20 (ANI): China's Ministry of Commerce said on Saturday that China's position on the TikTok issue in the US is clear, emphasising the Chinese government's respect for the will of enterprises, Xinhua reported. The ministry highlighted that the country welcomes companies to conduct business negotiations in line with market rules to reach solutions that comply with Chinese laws and regulations and balance interests of all parties. US President Donald Trump spent a great chunk of this week touting a TikTok 'deal' with China, but experts say it is far from finalised after both sides shared details of his phone call with President Xi Jinping. The two leaders spoke by phone on Friday, their first call in three months, but there was no announcement of the sale of the popular social media app that has 170 million US users, as per Al Jazeera. Any hammering out of a bigger trade deal on the multiple other issues, including US access to rare earth metals and China's purchase of Russian oil and access to US semiconductor chips, will have to wait for the two leaders to meet, experts say, Al Jazeera reported.
