Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim

ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

Watch live: Senate to vote on Ukraine, Israel aid package that includes TikTok bill

apnews.com/article/israel-ukraine-aid-tiktok-senate-8fe738b17e5c4b2636bc0de11b2620b7

Quick Glance: Biden signs Comprehensive Military Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan

President Biden announces the signing of a substantial $95 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with a significant portion of the funds directed towards Ukraine.

Despite initial resistance from Republicans in Congress, Biden has signed the aid package, highlighting the reinforcement of allies and ensuring prompt deliveries to Ukraine.

The assistance for Ukraine includes weapons and military equipment valued at around $1 billion, encompassing artillery shells and air defense missiles.

Military analysts do not foresee significant changes on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine, while the US support aims to aid Ukraine in operations in southern Ukraine, particularly focusing on Crimea and the Black Sea.

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.

Quick Glance: Billion-Dollar Package for Long-Term Ukraine Weapon Contracts

The United States announced a $6 billion weapons package for Ukraine on Friday, its largest military aid package to date for Kyiv’s forces.

The weapons and equipment will include critical interceptors for Ukraine’s Patriot and NASAM air defense systems, significant amounts of artillery ammunition, air-to-ground munitions, counterdrone weapons, and maintenance and sustainment support.

In addition to previous aid packages, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is seeking additional Patriot batteries to create a shield around Ukrainian cities and defend against further Russian missile attacks.

Quick Glance: TikTok Ban Threat: ByteDance Prefers Closure Over Sale, Insiders Say

ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, would prefer to shut down its loss-making app rather than sell it if all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the US are exhausted, said four sources.

TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance’s total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the US in a worst-case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said.

ByteDance would not agree to sell one of its most valuable assets – its “secret source” – to rivals, said the four sources, referring to the TikTok algorithm.

After facing challenges regarding bans, the short-form video app has encountered partial and attempted prohibitions in the US and other nations.

According to experts, China has intensified its online information operations in recent years to advance its broader objectives.

China has actively sought to leverage TikTok to influence politics in Taiwan, yet these endeavors ultimately proved unsuccessful.

While TikTok was utilized in these publicly identified Chinese operations, researchers have not observed a specific emphasis on the app compared to other popular platforms.

The General Prosecutor's Office in Dresden has officially initiated investigations against Maximilian Krah due to potential financial flows from Russian and Chinese sources.

The AfD lead candidate for the European Parliament elections, Maximilian Krah, is the subject of two preliminary investigations at the General Prosecutor's Office in Dresden.

Towards the end of last year, Krah was questioned by the FBI about possible payments from Kremlin-related sources, allegedly carrying a four-digit sum of money at that time.

On Monday evening, German authorities arrested Jian G., a close associate of Krah, who is suspected of spying for the Chinese intelligence service in Germany.
