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.

bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-04-24/eu-raises-stakes-with-chinese-medical-device-probe
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.
