Don't ban it, just force the sale of US/European or non-Chinese division to an outside party and that's that. There's actually not that much economic downside.

Don't ban it, just force the sale of US/European or non-Chinese division to an outside party and that's that. There's actually not that much economic downside. Having TT merged with Bytedance is not a big economic bonus. I can't believe that this was not done ages ago. There is hardly a loser here - it's just a 'required fork' of a business, everyone will be fine. We do this all the time with 'important' things, for a social media app, nothing will skip a beat, the kids can keep their funny songs.
