MASTV: According to reports, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison opened his official TikTok account on Christmas Eve and sent season’s greetings with a video. In 2020, Mr. Morrison reportedly warned users that TikTok “connects right back to China”. It’s believed that by opening a TikTok account, he means to appeal to young voters through the platform. Do you have any comment? 

Zhao Lijian: Certain Australian politician’s choice of social media platform is his own business. I need to reiterate that the Australian side should follow the principle of openness and market rules, stop abusing the concept of “national security” or applying double standard to serve its interests, and provide a fair, open and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies.
