Inside TikTok: A culture clash where U.S. views about censorship often were overridden by the Chinese bosses

TikTok在全球舞台強勢崛起，但這也可能毀了它。在科技鐵幕拉下之際，字節跳動是少有的能在全球取得成功的中國科技公司。但生活在一個由中國支持的社交媒體影響的世界裡，令一些美國人擔憂國家安全和隱私。
China’s TikTok Blazes New Ground. That Could Doom It.
By LI YUAN
The rise of the seemingly innocuous app is forcing Americans to consider a world influenced by a Chinese-backed social media network.

內容簡介

2013年4月14日，美國紐約甘迺迪國際機場，法國阿爾斯通集團鍋爐部全球負責人弗雷德里克．皮耶魯齊，剛下飛機就被美國聯邦調查局探員逮捕。 這場抓捕不僅僅是針對他個人的行為，而是美國政府針對法國阿爾斯通的系列行動之一。之後，美國司法部指控皮耶魯齊涉嫌商業賄賂，並對阿爾斯通處以7.72億美元罰款。阿爾斯通的電力業務，最終被行業內的主要競爭對手——美國通用電氣公司收購。阿爾斯通這家曾經橫跨全球電力能源與軌道交通行業的商業巨頭，因此被美國人“肢解”。而皮耶魯齊直到2018年9月才走出監獄，恢復自由。

在《美國陷阱》一書中，皮耶魯齊以身陷囹圄的親身經歷披露了阿爾斯通被美國企業“強制”收購，以及美國利用《反海外腐敗法》打擊美國企業競爭對手的內幕。 這是一場隱秘的經濟戰爭。
