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 You can watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/gRSdEgr2

The future of TikTok in the US is at a critical crossroads. The House of Representatives is speeding up a bill that would force its Chinese parent company, ByteDance Ltd. to sell its ownership stake or risk being banned in the US. This bill is likely to pass quickly, with President Joe Biden ready to sign it. If it becomes law, ByteDance would have up to a year to sell its ownership before facing a ban. Lawmakers are worried about TikTok's ties to China, fearing that user data could be compromised. TikTok has argued against these concerns, spending over $1.5 billion to safeguard US user data. But the question remains: what happens next? And who stands to gain from TikTok's potential divestiture?

TIKTOK DIGS IN TO FIGHT US BAN WITH 170 MILLION USERS AT STAKE Bloomberg 🎏 TikTok’s sizzling growth makes it harder to part with now 🎐 A legal battle could set the tone for Chinese companies in US Four years ago, when the Trump administration threatened to ban TikTok in the US, its Chinese parent company ByteDance Ltd. worked out a preliminary deal to sell the short video app’s business. Not this time. Once again, the US government is aiming to shut down TikTok unless it’s divested from Beijing-based ByteDance. But the company has made clear it has no intention of selling. Indeed, TikTok’s management vowed in an internal memo to staff “we will move to the courts for a legal challenge” if the bill winding its way through Congress is signed into law. That sets the stage for a watershed legal battle between the US government and the offspring of a $240 billion startup that’s come to define China’s growing technological muscle. The outcome could define the business landscape for Chinese companies like Tencent Holdings Ltd. and PDD Holdings Inc.’s Temu with growing US ambitions. And it’s a test of how Beijing will respond to growing pressure on homegrown champions from ByteDance to Huawei Technologies Co. The proposed bill in fact deliberately calls out the potential to circumscribe apps from countries that count as foreign adversaries. “It’s not just TikTok, since we saw the US also took actions before against Huawei and now hundreds of Chinese companies are under US sanctions,” said Wu Xinbo, a director at Fudan University’s Center for American Studies. “In the future, other companies like Temu and other commerce platforms could also be affected and US allies may follow suit to ban TikTok as well. This may have a domino effect.” learn more: https://lnkd.in/gEDh-FVd #investment #metaverse #fashion #socialmedia #conflict #ai
