美众议院通过“剥离TikTok”法案，美国学者：40年前熟悉的味道

China Daily

导读美国参议院日前通过法案，要求TikTok“或卖或禁”。这充分体现了美国政府一边高喊“自由”，一边打压外国企业的虚伪自私本质。TikTok并不威胁美国的国家安全，而封禁TikTok反而会影响美国的就业形势。当前美国政界已被恐华情绪所笼罩，理性思考严重缺失。这与40年前美国对迅速崛起的日本企业心生反感与恐惧的心理极为相似。本文为中国观察智库独家约稿，转载请注明来源：中国日报中国观察智库。作者：安东尼·莫雷蒂美国罗伯特·莫里斯大学传播与组织领导系副教授华盛顿是一座美丽的城市，它历史悠久，文化名胜众多，不同种族背景的人们居住于此。但与此同时，它也充斥着政治上的虚伪。上周二，美国参议院通过一项法案，要求TikTok要么出售给一家非中国实体，要么面临美国应用商店的禁令。拜登总统已将该法案签署为法律，这意味着TikTok的母公司字节跳动只有大约9个月的时间将其剥离，否则将面临禁令。这项法案的基本思路是这样的：作为一个社交媒体平台，TikTok与中国政府分享有关其用户的信息，进而可以通过操纵这些信息来影响用户的态度。美国国会在推进立法方面一向以动作缓慢著称，然而该法案却短短几天就在众议院获得通过，着实令人震惊。图片来源：中国日报当你看到拜登总统签署法案的视频图像或照片时，请记住，正是这位拜登总统，为了在今年的总统大选中取得连任，专门在TikTok上开设了一个账户，以便同该平台上约1.7亿美国人——尤其是其中占大多数的年轻人直接交流。好家伙！TikTok对美国及其国家安全构成了如此大的“威胁”，以至于现任总统必须亲自“下场”与之打交道——简直是虚伪到家了。如果不是考虑到正在发生的事情的后果，这种围绕TikTok的政治姿态其实挺搞笑的：美国——一个倡导言论自由、在全世界范围内打击损害本国企业利益行为的国家——正在要求一家外国企业必须卖给它。这里我们需要保持头脑清醒。正如美联社报道的那样，“到目前为止，美国政府……没有拿出证据表明TikTok与中国政府分享了这些（与数据相关的）信息”。为什么拿不出证据呢？也许是因为这样的证据根本就不存在。图片来源：中国日报不要惊讶，美国官员对中国的态度是不会改变的。在“中国邪恶论”深刻影响全美的背景下，只要哪怕有一丁点关于“中国有错”的蛛丝马迹，就会引发他们下意识的反应，要求对其进行制裁。当感性的列车沿着轨道一路狂奔时，理性却被留在了车站。但目前还是有一丝乐观的迹象：至少有一位敦促谨慎行事的美国参议员应该受到赞扬，他就是来自肯塔基州的兰德·保罗。他表示，在讨论有关TikTok的话题时，美国宪法第一修正案不应被忽视。毫无疑问，TikTok的高管们正在密切关注此事，他们一直在强烈呼吁美国用户联系他们选区的国会议员，表达他们对TikTok禁令的不满。该公司首席执行官周受资最近声称，如果任何TikTok立法成为法律，30万个美国就业岗位将面临风险。这里补充一个背景：美国2月份新增就业人数为27.5万人，也就是说，一旦TikTok被禁，不仅这些新增就业都将“归零”，失业率肯定也会上升。而且，别忘了，今年可是美国的大选之年。图片来源：中国日报你是不是觉得，这种针对一个亚洲国家及其商业行为的打击行动，看起来好像似曾相识啊？那就对了。大约40年前，美国陷入了对另一个亚洲国家的非理性恐惧——随着日本企业开始收购洛克菲勒中心等美国标志性建筑，美国政府对日本的反感也在加剧。一位美国学者的话发人深省：美国对一些亚洲国家的仇外情绪由来已久。沃尔特·罗素·米德在1989年写道：“在我们的社会中，土地和资源是丰富的，但如果我们不学会妥协和达成共识的艺术，人口的社会异质性将使国家分裂。” 今天的华盛顿已经不是一个“妥协和达成共识的艺术”的地方。随着这项涉TikTok法案成为法律，法院将决定它是否符合宪法。人们只能希望他们不要做出有悖常识的判断。图片来源：中国日报本文原文发表在中国日报国际版，原标题为 "Hypocrisy, lack of any logic are hallmarks of new act" 出品：中国日报中国观察智库责编：宋平栾瑞英编辑：张钊【责任编辑：潘一侨】
