According to the United States, TikTok's parent company is Byte, Byte is China, and there is no private company in China, so Tiktok is a company controlled by China. But in fact, the shareholders behind Tiktok are extremely complicated, with China companies, American capital and some European capital behind them. In a sense, Tiktok is now a global product! The reason why the United States wants to control Tiktok is to safeguard the commercial interests of many Internet companies in the United States.
Tiktok can be said to be the hottest short video APP in the world in recent years. According to the data released by foreign media before, tiktok has more than 65.438+0.4 billion users in the United States, and the total population of the United States is only over 300 million. Due to the increasingly fierce development of tiktok in the American Internet market, it has attracted the attention of the American government. The reason why the US government wants to suppress tiktok's development momentum in the United States is to protect some Internet companies in the United States.
Before tiktok entered the American market, American Internet advertising was mainly controlled by companies such as Google and Meta. However, after tiktok entered the American market, tiktok stole the Internet advertising revenue originally belonging to companies such as Google and Meta.
