问题 A public spat between two warring and wildly popular Chinese apps bus had the feel of a teenagedance-off“Sorry，Douyin Fans”，ran at article from the short video app on its WeChat account，in which it accused the mobile-messaging service of disabling links to Douyin’s most popular videos．“All bail Douyin the drains queen，"retorted Tencent．WeChat’s parent，which said it had acted because the content was“inappropriate”，
    On June 1 st Tencent sued Douyin’s parentcompany．Bytedance，for 1 yuan(15 cents)and demanded it apologise for its accusations on its own platforms  (and presumably without the snark)．Teacent also alleged unfair competition．Within hours Douyin counter-sued for 90m yuan．
    Rarely has an upstart so piqued Tencent．At first blush WeChat and Douyin (which translates as“trill”) appear to inhabit distinct worlds．The former is a super-app in which more than Ibn users not only chat but also order food，give to charity and pay utility bills．Douyin is an eclectic feed of looped15-second videos，a cross between Snap chat，Vine(now defunct)and Musically，which Bytedance bought in November．
    Different though the services are，Bytedance’suse of artificial intelligence to create tailored offerings for each viewer on Douyin—and on Toutiao，anewsfeed—is winning attention．According to QuestMobile，a data vendor，in early 2017 users began to spend more time on Toutiao，Douyin and two otherBytedance video apps，Xigua and Huoshan，than they did on Tencent’s news and video offerings．
    In the first quarter of this year Tik Tok，an international version of Douyin that launched in late2017，became the world’s most downloaded iPhoneapp，excluding games a rare feat for a Chinese social app．It has done well in Indonesia and Thailand．At home it led app-store rankings from January to May．It claims to have a user base of 300min China，more than Kuaishou，another short-video app in which Tencent has a stake．
    All of which has provoked Tencent into proriding a“defensive product”，notes Xue Yu of IDC China consultancy．In April Tencent resuscitated its short-video app Weishi，a year after closing it．
    WeChat has hardly lost its oomph．A stateagency recently reported that WeChat made up34％ of China’s total mobile—data traffic in 2017．Toadvertise，Douyin still relies on users sharing its videos on WeChat’s public feeds(hence its ire over the blocked videos)．Still，the share of time spent by Chinese mobile users on messaging slipped from37％ to 32％ in the year to March，says Quest Mobile，while that spent on watching short-form video has risen from 1．5％to over 7％，
    In May，an eassy put out on WeChat by a former tech journalist lit up social media．In“Tencent Doesn’t Have a Dream”，he argued that the firm had become chiefly an investment firm buying up other startups and had lost its innovative edge．One bit of evidence was that by the time Tencent had registered Douyin’s rise，its window for a counterattack had all but closed．
Why does the author describe at the beginning of the article that the spat between Douyin and Tencent is like a“teenage dance-off”?
选项 A、Tencent and Douyin both asked their employees to break off possible communications with the other company．
B、Both Tencent and Douyin make statements to denounce each other’s action．
C、Tencent blocked its users from registeringon Douyin through WeChat account．
D、Douyin wanted to take the full responsibilities in the argument，while Tencent still accused Douyin’s act as an affectatiom．
答案B
