There are material differences:
- HN does not have a board seat for the Chinese Communist Party. TikTok does.
- HN does not have an internal CCP committee. TikTok does.
- HN is not subject China’s National Intelligence Law, which mandates corporations "support, assist and cooperate with the Chinese intelligence work". Tiktok is.

More than likely they would move to Shorts or Reels.
