Quick Glance: Potential Buyers for TikTok Revealed
- The clock is ticking for TikTok to find a new owner. President Joe Biden signed a law that could ban TikTok in the US unless ByteDance sells the app. Possible buyers range from tech companies to retailers and investment bankers.
- Established tech giants like Meta or Google are unlikely buyers due to antitrust hurdles. Large companies with deep pockets face regulatory skepticism, although they could have the resources to purchase TikTok.
- Microsoft, which has shown interest in TikTok in the past, may have another opportunity after successfully navigating antitrust scrutiny with the Activision Blizzard deal. Oracle and former US government officials like Steven Mnuchin are also potential buyers.
- Mnuchin has announced assembling a team of investors to acquire TikTok. His offer, however, might exclude TikTok's algorithm, sparking controversial discussions. Other potential buyers like Kevin O'Leary are also considering acquiring TikTok, with O'Leary suggesting an initial bid between $20 and $30 billion.

Quick Glance: EU Raises Stakes With Chinese Medical-Device Probe
- The EU launched a probe into Chinese medical-device procurement, prompted by concerns that the government in Beijing unfairly favors domestic suppliers, risking tensions ahead of Xi Jinping's upcoming visit.
- The investigation will collect information from companies and member states and must be concluded within nine months. If it confirms a lack of reciprocity, the EU could restrict Chinese access to its tenders.
- This move follows a decision last year to begin an anti-subsidy probe into electric vehicles made in China, potentially leading to new tariffs by July.
- Chinese leaders have rebutted European and US criticism of market distortion in favor of domestic firms, but doubts persist regarding Beijing's extensive use of public support.

- Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'
- San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.
