>US TikTok move 'mafia' deal

特朗普逼售TikTok索提成

TikTok's roller-coaster ride in the US continued on Monday as President Donald Trump said he would approve the video-sharing app's sale to Microsoft only if the US government gets a cut, a condition that one expert called a "mafia" deal.

8月3日，视频分享应用TikTok在美国的命运仍在呈过山车式发展，美国总统特朗普表示，他将同意TikTok出售给微软的交易，但前提是美国政府能得到"提成"，有专家称美政府此举是"黑手党式的"交易。

The president also gave Microsoft and TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, a deadline of Sept 15 to plete the deal, or the app will be banned in the US.

特朗普还给微软以及TikTok的中国母公司字节跳动划定了9月15日这一完成交易的期限，否则TikTok在美国将被封禁。

Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a regular media briefing in Beijing on Tuesday that the US treatment of TikTok is "outright bullying", and the US only uses a "national security risk" as an excuse to suppress Chinese tech enterprises.

外交部发言人汪文斌8月4日在北京的一场例行发布会上表示，美方对TikTok的行动是赤裸裸的霸凌行径，"国家安全风险"只是美国打压中国科技企业的理由。

The legal basis of Trump's requirement that some of the money from the deal go to the US Treasury was immediately questioned by experts.

特朗普关于美财政部从TikTok交易中抽取佣金的要求的法律基础立即受到专家们的质疑。

"This is quite unusual; this is out of the norm," said Gene Kimmelman, former chief counsel for the US Department of Justice's Antitrust Division.

美国司法部反垄断局前首席法律顾问吉恩•金梅尔曼表示"这相当不寻常，不合常规"。

Julian Sanchez, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, a think tank based in Washington, DC, said Trump's "extortion threat" is a "mafia business model".

华盛顿智库卡托研究所的高级研究员朱利安•桑切斯说，特朗普的"勒索威胁"完全是"黑手党式的行为"。

>Olympics behind closed doors?

东京奥运可能闭门举行?

Tokyo 2020 spokesman Masa Takaya on Tuesday did not rule out the possibility of hosting the postponed Olympic Games behind closed doors while insisting that nobody wants to see the Games without spectators.

2020年东京奥运会发言人高谷正哲8月4日表示，没有人希望观看没有观众的奥运会，但他并不排除奥运会闭门举办的可能性，目前东京奥运会已推迟举行。

Japan's JIJI Press last week quoted an unnamed Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) executive, who is "close" to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, as saying that the Games "should definitely take place, even without spectators."

上周，日本时事通信社援引一位与日本首相安倍晋三"关系密切"的匿名自民党高层人士的话说，奥运会"一定会举行，即使在没有观众的情况下。

Takaya told reporters at a news conference that such a ic related to the countermeasures of the COVID-19 has to be addressed after thorough discussions among the key parties - the national government, the Tokyo metropolitan government and Tokyo 2020 anizing mittee. "This autumn onwards, we will have a meeting body attended by these three parties, so we will see the oute of this meeting body."

"高谷在新闻发布会上对记者说"这个话题与新冠肺炎的对策有关，必须由日本中央政府、东京都政府和东京奥组委三方深入讨论后才能得出结论。从今年秋天开始，这三方将组成一个委员会，我们到时将看到委员会磋商的结果。"
