Abstract

Originally conceived as a system of exchanges without borders, the Internet is a considerable geopolitical and economic stake in a world of potential conflict between the major powers. TikTok has become the political weapon of Generation Z, just as Huewei threatened the GAFAM monopoly. From entertaining, it became political. It has been at the heart of many humanitarian mobilisations. Between China and the USA, a Thucydide-style trap seems to be setting itself up. Donald Trump wanted to protect himself from the potential dangers of China for his national security with a digital iron curtain. It is interesting to note that the American technologies of the digital economy, much more powerful than those of China, could also be condemned by most countries in the world, on the same basis of possible effects of domination. The change of power in Washington will undoubtedly shed light on this situation by condemning or controlling a still Chinese TikTok on American territory.
