My guess is they’ll be forced to sell their US division to whatever company gives the government the most money (sort of like the Oracle-Tiktok deal).

- hollerith 1y agoI thought it was the Chinese owner of Tiktok that got paid money. What is your evidence that the US government was paid any money as part of that deal (over and above any taxes that would have been incurred by any sale of any business).
- cyanydeez 1y agoHe's referring to whoever paid in America to be gifted the largest propaganda platform. I'm sure money also went to Chinese owners.
- hollerith 1y ago"Gifted" would be misleading if (as I suspect) the entity that ended up with American Tiktok is the entity that won a bidding war to make the most attractive offer to the Chinese owner.
- deaux 1y ago> whatever company gives the government the most money If only! Unfortunately it's whatever makes the Party leadership the most money.
