Musk owning the US version of TikTok? I don't think that will sit well with these liberals.
I think this may be one of those "it was the correct decision at the time" type deal. CPC foresaw the need for internet sovereignty so they nurtured an internal habitat for domestic social media and kept it protected from external competition. But after a while they grew up and are now globally competitive. On the other hand US is increasingly censoring their own social media on class warfare topics like support for Israel and Luigi assassination, making Chinese social media attractive since it doesn't have that type of censorship.
As China's confidence grow I think we will increasingly see barriers start to lower. We are already seeing the same thing in other fields like PC gaming with things like Black Myth Wukong and now approval for a game like Showa American Story story to go ahead. I think one day even the overall GFW will come down after a singular epoch making event such as say Reunification of China.
Boo… Only do joint venture if every video is prefaced by a 30 second XJP Thoughts quiz.
Incredible that it took them so long find out that they live in an oligarchy, that the rules are made for them not for the ultra rich and that their voices don't matter compared to their feudal lords in the top.
Don't get me wrong is almost every country in the world that is like this, the biggest difference is that in the West they gaslight you more about it.
Nah that ain't Charlwin
lol there's 6 days left, there's no time even if lawyers started working right away.
This is what happened: Trump wants to avoid ban because he knows how big a mess it'll be for him, asked Elon to help him out, Elon reached out to his contacts in China and proposed the idea, China replied to the email with "seen", thus Bloomberg concluded China is "discussing it".
I get the feeling a lot of Americans really didn't think it'll get to this point.
I think the US was expecting a quick sale and American users would not notice. China /Bytedance not selling would give them the maximum leverage. Since China requires JV to operate and follow local laws, it can't complain too much if JV are setup in the US as well. Maybe they will trade for also some ownership of tesla china as well.
