Saw on Facebook comments.. I actually don't know about this. Think a lot of people also don't know mistaken that China ban Facebook, WhatsApp, instergram and Google. In fact it's not, it is because they do not want to comply with the china own set of law about Chinese user data must be stored in China. So they decide to forgo China market. This is totally different from trump ban on tiktok and wechat..

Instergram ceo buay tahan and come our say something lao.. Think from now on a lot of companies will be very worried especially if they have companies in China or they are based in China. Plus beside China, other counties might also have this thought that, hey USA can do this to tiktok, wechat, one day they could do the same to us too. Plus USA economy is going downhill plus usd currency crisis is coming. Be prepared that maybe in a few yrs time that usa now is totally different from USA fast forward in the future. Usa will be in a downward sprial and don't blame others that why more and more companies close shop in USA and or shift their companies out of USA.

Not just data storage. Google must also not allow user to search for Winnie the Pooh, Tian An Men... Etc.

ByteDance gets Trump nod to avoid TikTok shutdown

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/bytedance-gets-trump-nod-to-avoid-tiktok-shutdown-13126798

"TikTok will be owned by a new company called TikTok Global and will be headquartered in the United States, possibly in Texas, Trump said. Oracle Corp will take a 12.5per cent stake in TikTok Global and store all its U.S. user data on its cloud to comply with U.S. national security requirements, the companies said. Retail giant Walmart said it would take a 7.5per cent stake in TikTok Global...This is because ByteDance will own 80per cent of TikTok Global, the source said....Given that U.S. investors currently own about 40per cent of ByteDance"

Is anyone also as confused as this writer? 

Edited September 22, 2020 by Yewheng

It's not confusing at all. You have to see who are the shareholders of Tiktok Global. Keep exploring up the group structure and tada. 

The more complex part is the voting rights, cos it may not be 1 vote per share. 

I suspect Bytedance will still be the overwhelming majority shareholders (probably over several layers of controlling companies in between), and will have a say in Tiktok Global. Maybe a possible final say. Oracle and Walmart won't say no to any arrangements with Bytedance because Tiktok is a money spinner, and will be a massive one. I also cannot see a sale of such a money spinner to anyone outside China.
