Reuters reported on Tuesday that the European Parliament has taken the decision to prohibit the use of the social media application TikTok from all government-owned devices, citing security reasons. 

The decision hasn't been announced yet, but sources told them the announcement would be made in the near future. 

The ban will also be enforced on devices with parliament email and other network access installed on them.

The European Commission and the EU Council already implemented the ban on TikTok of staffers' phones last week.

The bloc suspects the company may infiltrate government phones and access users' data.

China rejects allegations of cyber-attack

Beijing has categorically rejected western accusations of potential cyber-attacks on government devices. 

According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the US has overstretched the concept of national security and abused state power to quash foreign businesses. 

The White House provided federal agencies a period of 30 days to remove TikTok on all federal devices. 

In response to the move, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning on Tuesday said "We firmly oppose those wrong actions."
