BEIJING - ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming told employees on Tuesday there were misunderstandings on Chinese social media about TikTok’s situation in the United States and that the company could face more difficulties as anti-Chinese sentiment rose abroad.
Chinese media first reported the contents of the internal letter. A source confirmed the content of the memo to Reuters.Microsoft's rescue attempt of TikTok endears old company to new generation Since Monday, some users of China’s Twitter-like Weibo have said they would uninstall ByteDance’s Chinese short video app Douyin and news aggregator Jinri Toutiao because they believed ByteDance had given in too quickly to Washington.
Zhang said some people had misunderstood the U.S. situation. He said Washington’s goal was not to force a sale of TikTok’s U.S. operations through the Committee of Foreign Investment in the U.S. but to ban the app, and there was a legal process ByteDance had no choice but to follow.Zhang told staff on Monday in another internal letter that the company had started talks with a tech company so it could continue to offer the TikTok app in the United States.
