Using that logic, facebook, google, etc are not businesses either since they chose to be banned from china.
- bouncing 2y agoThe stance of the US is that ByteDance has to sell off what is already a separate product (TikTok). Google, Facebook etc don't have a "Chinese market" product at all, so there's nothing to sell off. If they did have a Chinese market product, worth many tens of billions of dollars, they would very likely sell it rather than spike it.
