Quick Glance: Chinese TikTok App Sale Required for National Security Measures
- A newly enacted law mandates the sale of the Chinese-owned TikTok app to address national security concerns.
- 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.

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.

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.

cnn.com/2024/04/22/cars/tesla-price-war-china-germany-us-intl-hnk/
Quick Glance: Tesla cuts prices in US, China and Germany as competition intensifies
- Tesla has announced aggressive price cuts in China and Germany, shortly after reducing prices in the United States, as the world’s largest maker of electric vehicles (EV) faces declining sales and growing competition in major markets.
- The prices of four models were slashed in China by 14,000 yuan ($1,932), while in Germany, the price of the Model 3 rear-wheel drive was lowered by 2,000 euros ($2,132). Earlier cuts were made in the US, with prices of three models reduced, while prices for the Model 3 and Cybertruck remained unchanged.
- The price cuts come during a tough time for Tesla, with a significant stock plunge and a drop in quarterly deliveries. Elon Musk postponed his planned India trip due to company obligations. In China, Tesla's price cuts escalate an existing price war in a highly competitive sector influenced by other manufacturers like BYD offering more affordable options.
- The price wars in China began in 2022 and continue with over 30 car makers announcing further price reductions, impacting the entire auto industry's profit margins. Competitors like BYD and XPeng are also offering subsidies and lowering prices to attract buyers in the EV market, posing challenges to Tesla's market dominance.

Quick Glance: Tesla responds to declining sales with global price reductions
- Tesla has lowered prices in various key markets, including China and Germany, to address the declining sales and increasing price competition for electric vehicles.
- The recent price reductions come in light of a decrease in Tesla's global vehicle deliveries in the first quarter, marking the first time in nearly four years.
- The starting price of the revamped Model 3 in China was reduced by 14,000 yuan to 231,900 yuan. Similarly, in Germany, the price of the rear-wheel-drive Model 3 was decreased from 42,990 euros to 40,990 euros.
- In addition to the mentioned price cuts, there were reductions in many other countries across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Prices for the Model Y, Model X, and Model S vehicles in the US were decreased by $2,000. Moreover, Tesla slashed the price of its Full Self-Driving Software in the US from $12,000 to $8,000.
