Wheels are turning. ByteDance officially has 9-12 months to make a move. With so much money at stake, my vote is in the 'Divest' or 'Other political stalling' camp as the most likely outcomes. What do you think? https://lnkd.in/gCS8bzuM

Fresh out of the studio, Jing Yang, the Asia Bureau Chief for The Information, provided an insightful analysis of the potential implications of the recent U.S. House of Representatives bill to force Bytedance to divest TikTok or face a ban in the US. Detailing a timeline of events, she illuminated how ByteDance and TikTok executives may have misinterpreted U.S. political signals. Despite Bytedance's profitability in China, she shed light on why TikTok is facing financial challenges and the complex dynamics between Bytedance and the investors of the company. Concluding her discussion, she offered her perspectives on the possible future of TikTok globally pending the outcome.
"If we assume that happens, I'm sure TikTok, let alone ByteDance as a company as a whole, will survive - and maybe even continue to thrive after this. Because, let's put things into perspective, right? TikTok has more than 1 billion users globally and then the US represents just a little over a 10th of that, 170 million. So I'm not saying that it's not going to impact TikTok and ByteDance. But does it pose an existential threat? Probably not. I believe given we already talked about how ByteDance has been super profitable. I think that, even if they get banned in the US, this is by no means the end of TikTok or ByteDance." - Jing Yang

DUMB: TikTok's decision to sue the U.S. Federal Government is like a chihuahua picking a fight with a silverback gorilla. a bold but ultimately misguided move. This lawsuit will likely strain ByteDance's already tenuous relationship with the United States.
If federal investigators uncover evidence during discovery that reveals backdoors in TikTok's platform, potentially linking the app to the Chinese government, it would be a public relations nightmare for Bytedance, and will likely the U.S. government likely will block access to future Bytedance products.
