Quick Glance: Implications of a TikTok Ban on China's Technology Plans and Global Digital Divide
- TikTok is at a critical juncture in America as its Chinese owner must complete the sale of the app within a year to avoid a ban in its largest market.

- Chinese companies and apps operating in the US are encountering increasing challenges as the US government implements measures to restrict the access of Chinese companies to the market.
