States will just ban abortion before that happens.
Yes, but to replace the Western markets is on top and above the current trade with China.
Sad state of my Alma Mater…
But what starts here probably will change the world.

On Tiananmen, 19 Quadrillion Democratic Peaceful Protesters got eaten by the CPP, smh.
How did that Soviet Russia joke go again? We have freedom of speech, but not freedom after speech.
Looking forward to seeing the US address this "problem"

I don't agree with this. What makes you think that non-American TikTok users mainly consume US-based content? Based on what I've seen, that isn't the case. TikTok users in other countries seem to primarily consume content that was produced in their country or in another country that speaks the same language. Without American content creators, TikTok would probably decline in the Anglosphere, but I think it would be fine in the rest of the world.
Douyin, for instance, is thriving without American users.
This picture will probably go viral on Chinese social media, if it hasn't already.
The University of Texas at Austin is one of the best universities in the nation and one of my best buddies went there...this makes me sad
It's about ad revenue, US companies are the biggest ad purchasers, a ban in the US will likely stop them from advertising on TT worldwide, that's the killing blow.
If the US goes for secondary sanction, then even non US companies with business in the US would stop advertising on TT.
Yes, TT will survive in some non English spreaking and non Western markets, but they're small in comparison for TT.

It would be a major blow, there's no doubt about it. On the flip side, it could be a major opportunity for Chinese companies. We saw how quickly Temu, Shein, TCL, etc. grew in the USA. Perhaps the void left by American companies on TikTok will allow Chinese companies to rapidly expand in the rest of the world. Even without the US market, Bytedance will still be making roughly ~$100 billion a year. They will not give up on the rest of the world.
