| This is an interesting premise. And it makes TikTok (and Douyin) possibly even more valuable. Someone like Walmart (or Amazon), that sells millions of items, can tap into the mass Chinese market of 1.4 billion people that are coming online and entering the middle class. This can easily be Walmart’s ace to finally challenge Amazon domestically and worldwide. In that case, I suggest TikTok refuse to sell out, at fire sale prices. They can make more money themselves. Just take the American ban. And wait out Trump. If Biden wins, and he still enforces the ban, then it’s the American market that will lose out. Think of it, all those teenagers that are hitting the TikTok lottery, with their videos that go viral, and TikTok is sharing in the proceeds with them. The young adult market, should realize what is happening and vote out Trump. This can at least send a message to the establishment. Admittedly, the rumors that teenagers used TikTok to register for tickets to Trump’s rally, only to not show up, is rather hilarious. And he got bitter and butt-hurt for it. But couldn’t they have also spread that message around on other forums like Twitter or Instagram or Facebook too? So I don’t see why TikTok got singled out for it. |
