Can you elaborate on how ByteDance is trying to earn independence from the Chinese Gov? I'm genuinely just curious, to educate myself. From what I've read, they have a deep CCP governance and partnerships with Chinese state-owned media organizations.
- yurlungur 6y agoYou can probably try to find the English version of the memo in this news here: https://www.scmp.com/tech/apps-social/article/3095822/bytedance-founder-understands-disagrees-us-conclusion-tiktok-must https://www.scmp.com/tech/apps-social/article/3095822/byteda... But in any case. I did not say ByteDance is substantially moving towards independence from the Chinese government (what does that even mean, should it disobey laws in the country it's operating in?) and I'm not privy to any inside information as to how tightly integrated it is with the party. I'm just saying that it is trying to position itself as such.
