BEIJING (China Daily/ANN): On Oct 8, the US administration began the appeals process of a recent federal court ruling suspending the administration's ban on downloads of short-video sharing app TikTok, saying it would provide an opening statement before Oct 16 to which TikTok has to reply by Nov 6, and it would respond to TikTok's reply by Nov 12.
In the order issued on Sept 27 hours before the download ban was to take effect, Judge Carl Nichols of the US district court for the District of Columbia, Washington, only imposed preliminary injunction on the TikTok download ban.
