China shows willingness to engage in dialogue to resolve TikTok issue in the US.

Although the previous US presidency attempted to ban TikTok from the country, with Donald Trump taking office, the idea doesn’t seem to have worked out as expected. TikTok was banned in the US for less than 14 hours, with Trump now indicating that he intends to keep the platform active in the region – despite his previous attempts to ban it during his first term.

One possible solution to keep TikTok in the US would involve selling 50% of the company to an American entity. While nothing has been confirmed yet, it appears that China is open to dialogue on this matter. Trump’s plan to maintain TikTok in the US includes extending the deadline for the supposed ban by 90 days. Additionally, he wants half of the platform to be owned by an American entity, potentially creating a new organization responsible for managing it.

Interestingly, this aligns with China’s interests as well. Mao Ning, China’s Minister of Foreign Affairs in the US, indicates that the Chinese government is open to a dialogue with Donald Trump to discuss possible decisions that would allow TikTok to remain in the country. At the same time, he emphasizes that if the deal involves a Chinese company, it must also comply with Chinese laws and regulations.

Mao believes that TikTok has been beneficial to the US community, not only increasing business visibility but also serving as a significant source of income for many. He also hopes that the US government will consider China’s suggestions and establish an agreement that allows the platform to continue operating in the region.

It’s worth noting that TikTok was temporarily banned in the US for 14 hours over the weekend before being restored with Trump’s support. One of his first actions upon entering the White House will be to address the TikTok agreement and find a possible resolution to the issue.

Let’s not forget that during his first term, Trump initially entertained the idea of banning TikTok from the US, considering it a national security risk due to its alleged mass data collection of citizens. However, his stance changed when he utilized the platform for his election campaign, gaining significant support from younger voters.

In conclusion, the future of TikTok in the US remains uncertain, but it seems that both the US and China are willing to engage in dialogue to find a solution that satisfies both parties. Whether TikTok will continue to thrive in the US or face further challenges, only time will tell.
