Quick Glance: German Exit from Nuclear Energy: Ideology Over Pragmatism
- During an energy crisis, green ministries in Germany pushed through the nuclear energy phaseout, disregarding warnings and prioritizing ideological goals over energy security.
- Internal communications reveal that high-ranking green officials ignored and twisted facts to advance the nuclear phaseout, even if it raised safety concerns.
- The origins of the energy transition were not primarily focused on climate change but aimed to eliminate nuclear energy and transition to renewables and coal.
- The decommissioned nuclear power plants now serve as monuments to a green misstep that led Germany into an energy policy tragedy, potentially hindering the construction of new nuclear power plants.

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.

- China stresses the importance of enhanced cooperation with the United States despite facing significant obstacles.

- Recent years have seen tumultuous China-US relations, exacerbated by factors including a trade war, a visit by then-House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan in 2022, and a dispute over the US downing of a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon last year.

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.
