Overseas Tiktok cannot be used in China, so users will not be required by the CCP's review.He stores TIKTOK user data in Virginia and Singapore in the United States. In the United States, professional managers are invited to manage TIKTOK operations, and hosted lobbyists to fight for support.
These efforts are not useful in the end.Under the tremendous pressure of US President Trump, TIKTOK is negotiating with Microsoft to sell US business.It turns out that at this moment when the conflict between the two countries is constantly upgrading, several high walls between China and the United States are difficult to surpass than ever.
