On the 8th local time, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz released the first video on social media TikTok, announcing that he had officially entered TikTok.
Scholz's first message was made through the new account TeamBundeskanzler. The camera initially follows the footsteps of the person in the video, then shifts to a black briefcase on the sofa, and then cuts to Scholz sitting at his desk, smiling. The video is accompanied by a relaxing piece of bassoon music.
目前,TeamBundeskanzler账号已发布了三个视频,在TikTok上收获了3.6万粉丝和9.6万点赞。
According to foreign media reports, Scholz has been planning to settle in TikTok for a long time. At the end of February, he said that the German government needed TikTok and said that he wanted the German government to open an account on the platform.
Reuters previously said that in the context of Western politicians' suppression of TikTok, Scholz seems to be more worried about the strong social media influence of his election opponents than about TikTok's so-called "security concerns".
In fact, Scholz is far more than the only international politician who is aware of TikTok's influence.
On February 11, local time, U.S. President Joe Biden officially joined TikTok. Mr. Biden's campaign advisers said the account is run by Team Biden-Harris and posts content regularly.

In the first video released, Biden answers a series of questions about who will win the Super Bowl championship game in a short, flat and quick way that young people prefer. The last question is, is it Donald Trump or Biden? Biden laughs and replies, "Don't be funny, (is) Biden."
The Washington Post previously analyzed that the Biden team worked hard to take steps to try to connect with young people. For example, Biden's profile picture on TikTok is a photo of an "eye radiating laser". In this regard, Aaron Parnas, creator of Gen Z content, noted: "Young people across the country have been waiting for this moment. ”
So far, Biden's account has publicly posted more than 100 videos, garnering 290,000 followers and 3.5 million likes.

Speaking of TikTok's "veteran users", I have to mention French President Emmanuel Macron. His first TikTok video was released in July 2020, followed by a number of "face-slapping selfies" answering questions, and now has 4.2 million followers on the platform.
In addition, British Defense Secretary Shapps, German Health Minister Lauterbach and others have also already settled in TikTok.
