- adventured 5y agoByteDance is barred from IPO'ing internationally and possibly domestically as well. They wanted to and the CCP would not allow it, they capitulated and backed off their IPO plans (Didi by contrast went forward against the wishes of the CCP, and now Didi is being dismantled and nationalized in response). It's part of the new cultural revolution going on in China, they're restricting prominent companies more aggressively, for purposes of control, and that includes how and when they're allowed to IPO.
