Short-form video platform TikTok gained popularity amid COVID-19 and became the most popular non-gaming app as people were faced with lockdowns at home.
However, it’s the Chinese market which is really making the big bucks – 89% of ByteDance’s revenue was from Douyin, trailed by the American market which accounted for 6%.
Trump has given ByteDance until September 15 to sell its US operations and said yesterday that the US government should receive a “substantial portion” of the sales price.
