The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Monday said that private companies can make their own decisions about whether to sell or merge, reversing its previous statement that it opposes any effort by ByteDance to sell TikTok U.S. to a foreign owner.
Why it matters: While a few interested buyers have emerged, China’s unwillingness to let ByteDance sell TikTok’s U.S. arm has tied the company’s hands in the face of a U.S. law that required such a sale to avoid a ban.
State of play: The South China Morning Post and Wall Street Journal reported the Chinese official’s remarks to reporters on Monday.
Catch up quick: The Supreme Court upheld the ban Friday, saying TikTok’s argument that the law violated its First Amendment rights was invalid, given that the law doesn’t call for a ban, but rather a divestiture to a U.S. company.
Yes, but: The current owner — ByteDance — cannot be involved, under the U.S. law’s provisions.
Of note: While it’s hard to value TikTok’s U.S. arm separately from its parent company, third parties have estimated it to be valued at anywhere between $20 billion and $100 billion.
