TikTok in the firing line after Chinese balloon was shot down
China has hit back at the U.S. after officials shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina.
Washington says it was being used to monitor strategic sites.
But Beijing rejects this – claiming the balloon was a civilian airship used to monitor the weather.
The incident is just the latest in a long line of diplomatic disputes between the two countries.
Now, TikTok could be banned in the U.S. in the wake of the incident.
Republicans are now pushing for Washington to distance itself from the Beijing-based app. #trending #featured
