德国出版集团阿克塞尔·施普林格（Axel Springer）的一位发言人周四表示，该集团欢迎任何欧洲倡议，旨在效仿美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）推动的将 TikTok 与其母公司分离的美国模式，使这款社交媒体应用与其中国所有者剥离。
Publishing group Axel Springer would welcome any European initiative to separate TikTok from its Chinese owners along the lines of President Donald Trump's deal to split the US social media app from its parent, a spokesperson for the German company said on Thursday.
TikTok 的中国所有者字节跳动（ByteDance）于 1 月敲定了一项协议，将 TikTok 美国业务的控制权转移给一家美资合资企业。此举旨在避免这款短视频应用在美国被禁，以消除美国政界对该应用中国所有权背景提出的安全担忧；该应用在美国拥有超过 2 亿用户。
TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, finalised a deal in January to transfer control of TikTok's US operations to an American-owned joint venture. The aim was to avert a ban in the US on the short-video app to allay security concerns raised by US politicians regarding the Chinese ownership of the app, which is popular with over 200 million Americans.
阿克塞尔·施普林格集团——拥有《政客》（Politico）、《每日电讯报》媒体集团（Telegraph Media Group）和《商业内幕》（Business Insider）——的上述表态，是针对《金融时报》（Financial Times）的一篇报道作出回应。据该报道，施普林格集团首席执行官兼联合所有者马蒂亚斯·德普夫纳（Mathias Doepfner）——他曾多次批评 TikTok——在 1 月与美国驻法国大使查尔斯·库什纳（Charles Kushner）共进午餐时提出了一个想法，即他的公司可以参与收购 TikTok 欧洲业务的交易。
The comment from Axel Springer, owner of Politico, Telegraph Media Group and Business Insider, came in response to a Financial Times report. According to the report, Springer's CEO and co-owner Mathias Doepfner - who has repeatedly criticised TikTok - pitched an idea during a lunch in January with the US Ambassador to France, Charles Kushner, in which his company could be part of a deal to buy TikTok's European operations.
“从他的公开声明中可以清楚地看出，马蒂亚斯·德普夫纳一直主张效仿美国模式，为 TikTok 寻求一个欧洲解决方案，” 发言人告诉路透社。“如果出现这种解决方案，阿克塞尔·施普林格集团将欢迎作为一家主要的欧洲媒体参与者参与其中。” 德普夫纳过去曾批评 TikTok，他在 5 月于日内瓦举行的世界犹太人大会（World Jewish Congress）演讲中称其为“放大极端内容最危险的宣传机器之一”，并呼吁持续遏制社交媒体上的反犹太主义。
"As is clear from his public statements, Mathias Doepfner has always advocated for a European solution for TikTok along the lines of the American model," the spokesperson told Reuters. "Had such a solution materialized, Axel Springer would have welcomed the opportunity to be part of it as a major European media player." Doepfner has criticised TikTok in the past, calling it "one of the most dangerous propaganda machines for amplifying extremist content" in a speech at the World Jewish Congress in Geneva in May, as he called for anti-Semitism on social media to be consistently curbed.
“在美国，TikTok 已被迫出售给非中国所有者——欧洲应该效仿这一榜样，” 他在当时表示。
"In America, TikTok has been forced to be sold to non-Chinese owners – Europe should follow this example," he said at that time.
