Bytedance, Tiktok's parent company is 60% owned by international stake holders mostly American. It is only "Chinese" because is registered in China so are their IPs. Tiktok is a Singapore registered company with even more American shares. ByteDance is hardly a Chinese company, TikTok is even less. If TikTok is banned by USG, most damage is to American share holders. China only want the knowhows to remain in China, other than that China doesn't give a damn if TikTok bankrupted because of the ban? It is American loosing money and reputation of "free speech", a show that we'd love to watch.Of course China would care if its firms receive fair, reciprocal, and nondiscriminatory treatment in other countries
It is like an US owned Bahamas flagged cargo ship that got blown up by Houthi, you think Bahamas would care more than US? Is Bahamas being humiliated or USG?
