甲骨文競購TikTok業務

US tech firm Oracle has joined the competition to buy TikTok, a popular short-video sharing app owned by Chinese firm ByteDance, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.

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是中國公司位元組跳動旗下一款很火的短視訊分享應用。

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，甲骨文已與位元組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、澳大利亞和紐西蘭的業務。

Moreover, the US tech firm was working with ByteDance's US investors including General Atlantic and Sequoia Capital, said the source.

該訊息人士表示，甲骨文正與一些持有位元組跳動股份的美國投資者合作，其中包括泛大西洋投資集團和紅杉資本。

Before, Microsoft and Twitter had announced they would bid on the Chinese company-owned app.

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式。

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為由，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。
