The US government is determined to ban TikTok unless ByteDance, the Chinese parent company, sells its stake in the app. However, ByteDance is vowing to challenge the ban in court, setting the stage for a legal battle that could redefine the business landscape for Chinese companies in the US. The proposed bill also targets apps from countries considered foreign adversaries, potentially affecting other Chinese companies like Tencent and Temu. ByteDance, despite its growing presence in the US with 170 million users, remains firm in its stance against selling TikTok, citing its significant revenue, established e-commerce business, and planned international expansion. The outcome of this legal battle will shape the future of TikTok’s operations in the US and test the limits of US pressure on Chinese tech giants.
