美國原訂9/27下架中國軟體TikTok，但就在禁令生效前幾小時，被聯邦法官以未提供辯方辯護機會給擋下（blocked）。原以為3家中美企業已達成交易共識，卻突然被川普禁止，堅持美方應持有所有權，如今禁令又瞬間喊卡，讓這場中美科技角力陷入迷霧。
【中美科技角力淺談】
block 封鎖；阻擋
Ａ：Trump banned TikTok due to the ownership controversy of TikTok Global among ByteDance, Oracle, and Walmart.
（川普因字節跳動、甲骨文與沃爾瑪新公司所有權爭議禁用TikTok。）
Ｂ：Surprisingly, the ban was suddenly blocked by the federal judge just hours before it goes into effect.
（出乎意料地，在禁令生效幾小時前突然被聯邦法官擋下。）
ownership 所有權
Ａ：I heard ByteDance claimed that they'll retain an 80％ stake in TikTok Global.
（我聽說字節跳動宣稱它們在新公司將保有80％的股權。）
Ｂ：Which is completely different from Oracle and Walmart's statements that ByteDance will have no ownership at all.
（這與甲骨文和沃爾瑪說字節跳動不擁有任何所有權的聲明大不同。）
to save face 保留顏面
Ａ：In fact, I think the Chinese government is tempted to block the TikTok deal to save face.
（事實上，我覺得中國政府根本就很想阻擋這場交易以保留顏面。）
Ｂ：That's why they released new restrictions in August to make it more complicated to sell TikTok's core technology.
（這就是為何它們8月頒布新限制，好讓TikTok核心技術出售更複雜。）
