據《金融時報》8月18日報道,美國科技公司甲骨文公司已加入競購TikTok的行列。TikTok是中國公司字節跳動旗下一款很火的短視頻分享應用。Oracle has held preliminary talks with Bytedance, and said it was seriously considering acquiring the app's business in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, a source familiar with the situation was quoted as saying by the Financial Times.
《金融時報》援引知情人士的話說,甲骨文已與字節跳動進行了初步談判,並表示該公司正認真考慮收購該應用在美國、加拿大、澳大利亞和新西蘭的業務。
Moreover, the US tech firm was working with ByteDance's US investors including General Atlantic and Sequoia Capital, said the source.

此前,微軟和推特曾宣佈將競購這款中國公司旗下的應用程序。US President Donald Trump threatened to ban TikTok from operating in the country beginning Sept 15, citing national security concerns, unless it is sold to a US company.
美國總統特朗普以國家安全爲由,威脅除非將TikTok出售給美國公司,否則自9月15日起將在美國禁用該應用。
