    TikTok was never approved for sale. China would never give that kind of soft power up.

      I dunno, Trump showed the world you can completely give up decades of hard won soft power in only two months, maybe China will think it’s cool?

    ByteDance will never sell the TikTok algo. They’ll handover a tamed version, but never the cutting edge.

    The point is that the US, and US companies, think they can bully their way to preminence and they can’t.
