I appreciate this response. I agree that there is a parallel between the virality of WhatsApp and the virality of TikTok. I also thought the WhatsApp price was high, but now in retrospect we can see that actually it was quite low, because people around the world are using whatsapp to replace the functionality of so many different websites (social, ecommerce, gaming, news, payments, etc).
For TikTok however I think there are two concerns. Number one would be the political situation between USA and China. Number two would be the fact that Instagram, Snapchat, Youtube, Twitter, WeChat and so on have already captured so much of whatever there is to capture in this market. I would be surprised if TikTok became the next WhatsApp, I think it's much more likely to be the next Snapchat or Viber.
If I had to buy a Chinese company, it would be Huawei. But Microsoft would find a way to kill that too.
