Beijing, In Blocking Tik Tock Deal, Turns Trade Playbook Against Him.

[0311]

Beijing’s extraordinary move last week to walk away from the White House’s TikTok deal as leverage in an escalating trade war defies the norms of economic negotiations — but follows President Donald Trump’s own trade playbook.

The White House last week had finalized a pact to spin the popular video app’s U.S. operations into a new company owned and operated by a majority made up of American investors, according to two people familiar with the deal granted anonymity to speak candidly. The deal was set to be announced just days before a Saturday deadline mandating the app’s Beijing-based owner, ByteDance, sell to a majority of non-Chinese companies, or TikTok would go dark in the United States.

Then it fell apart.

Trump thinks he can play his brand of hardball with Communist China. It ain't working. China is NOT afraid of him. With Europe dumping U.S. Treasury Bonds Trump has brought this country to brink financial disaster. He is only person for current economic problems our nation is facing. China fights back, Trump needs to remember.

Just permanently ban Tik Tok from the U.S market then unless China opens up their markets to Facebook, twitter and others.

Problem solved. Call it "Reciprocal Access Act" and Americans would be fiercely behind it

TicTok without its algorithm is worthless.

And no deal at anytime has included the algorithm that drives it.

Did you expect anything else since the tariffs? Maybe it's a ploy and trump can say "sell us tik tok and tariffs removed"

Not hard....very simple solution.
China's not going to give any ground on anything.
Not in the middle of an argument. Ban tik tok and walk away. There are plenty of alternatives.

Excellent point

As one poster just astutely pointed out, The tick tock sale doesn't include the algorithm that drives it therefore it's not a real sale.

Best option is to shut the lights off on tik tok for now
