Trump is a self centred man who ignores US national security to retain a platform just because his campaign was viewed million of times on it.

He care less about if US data are being sent to the Chinese.

America is about to witness a great decline in power and world standing.

Exactly!

It’s as simple as that!

The only possibility I see is for them to hyper inflate net worth and wait for a dumb person like Elon Musk yo come buy it.

It’s 100% certain that if the sale is triggered, the user base will decline in the US and that company will lose more than 70% of its value.

The ban was a good test run. RedNote became the number one downloaded app in the US and Meta shares started crashing.

tiktok will not be sold to us

China also have their own laws

How much do those other 1 billion users generate for Tiktok?
If it were that simple, Tiktok owners would have moved its headquarters elsewhere
and focus the other part of the world.
Now, Tiktok doesn't have a choice but to sell to Trump's cronies.

Is there ever anything Trump does that is wrong?

The dumbest businessman cannot be that foolish. Trade his algorithm for a single country. TikTok would do well without the US.

Taken it out completely will only make RedNote more popular which is a more Chinese app

The West are so scared of competition . They detest it.

Once they see competition, they start framing it up. From Huawei to BYD, and now TikTok

If una never call West una dick no go erect. How many US apps are allowed in China? Is Facebook, Instagram, X, Google and other US apps allowed in China by the Chinese government? Yeye.

Elon musk is behind this because TikTok is a threat to users of X as it is more popular.

They don't serve purpose really, Tiktok is more or less a video sharing app while 'X' is more. 'X' covers video, audio, polls, chats, news sharing, opinions, engagements and more

Almost all organizations and govts in the world has an 'X' handle, how many of these are on Tiktok?

Just say you don't like Trump, chikena!

Did the Chinese offer to buy them? Is China a democracy?

The ball is in the court of China at the moment and it’s a checkmate.

Take away TikTok, RedNote which is a direct Chinese app will go boom!. Will they buy that too?

Okay, TikTok is sniffing user data but Temu and Alibaba is not?

Oh! Same China that had over 380,000 acres of farmland in the US with some even close to military bases.

You spoke like someone without knowledge of simple economics. The world doesn't start and stop in US. China alone has enough market for TikTok. Yes, without the US TikTok will lose a substantial market share but it's a big market out there even without the US.
This is the same thing they tried to do to Huawei but Huawei came out stronger

U are not smart.

That 150million people bring in more revenue thann the rest of the world combined ,you think its by population? Its how much you bring to the table.

Tiktok makes more money in the US than every other countries in the world combined , tiktok will prefer to shutdown in all countries of the world and stay afloat in the US because that's where they make the money.

It's not about film, it's about fact. US annual military budget alone is bigger than entire Russia's entire annual budget.

Russia should be compared with countries like Germany or France, not the US.

I really don't know why the US always have this entitlement rights over the rest of the world always. U.S don't believe in the principle of you win some and you loose some. They want to win all everytime.
That's why Russia and China will always have problems with them.

The advantage U.S has in all these is because they own Play store and other tech platforms that controls almost everything we do online.

What competition has the West faced successfully with China?

Huawei and BYD will send them to their graves if it was a free trade. Where can they match? Automobile, Telecom, Electronics, Construction or just name it. Just exclude warfare cos that’s the only thing they do best.

Is the United States growing? Seems you are a newbie there! Go to RedNote. The real Americans are falling over for China’s development and getting to know they are a 3rd world country.

You call Nigeria a shithole, but we not enslaved yo the system. We outrightly own and not in the chains called credit. Medical and educational bills don’t make us go bankrupt. We eat good foods and not GMO products.

We have our lapses, but we far better off. Our millionaires are real millionaires, not indebted millionaires

You are saying this from your house in Nigeria while the real owners know and understand better the implications of a US ban.
