Earlier, The Information also reported that TikTok was developing a new version of its app as part of potential divestment discussions for its US operations.
However, any effort by TikTok to divest or spin off its US operations would still require Chinese regulatory approval due to export controls on certain AI and data technologies.
This means the fate of a potential sale, and TikTok’s future in the US market, hinges not just on Washington, but also on Beijing.
This regulatory backdrop underscores why any TikTok deal involving the sale of its algorithm or control of its US business would need formal clearance from Beijing.
To date, Trump has signed three such orders, repeatedly extending the timeline for TikTok to finalize a transaction.
