Beijing's move to block TikTok’s US divestiture in response to Trump’s tariff hike has intensified US-China tensions. As legal deadlines near and security concerns grow, pressure mounts on the Trump administration. With China mirroring Trump-style tactics, TikTok has become a flashpoint—raising the question: is compromise still possible, or will the standoff escalate?

Donald Trump just blamed China for backing out of deal that would sell TikTok to the U.S and keep it operating in the country.

Unresolved lawsuits usually transfer to the acquiring company. If ByteDance sells TikTok's US operations, legal challenges could deter potential buyers from taking on its 170 million American users.

Zoop, co-founded by OnlyFans' Tim Stokely, has made a last-minute bid to buy TikTok’s U.S. operations with support from the HBAR Foundation. The U.S. government is reviewing multiple offers ahead of the 5 April deadline, with concerns over national security and ByteDance’s control remaining key issues.

Singapore media, Lianhe Zaobao just reported that the founder of Bytedance Zhang Yiming, has changed his citizenship to become a Singaporean.

As TikTok's April 5 ownership deadline approaches, its future in the US remains uncertain. President Donald Trump will hold a White House meeting on Wednesday to discuss potential investors before the crucial decision.

US President Trump suggested reducing tariffs on Chinese imports to help secure a deal for TikTok's US operations, which must be sold by 5 April 2025. Negotiations with potential buyers are ongoing, but the sale's success depends on approval from the US, China, and ByteDance.

As TikTok grapples with a looming April 5 deadline imposed by U.S. regulators, Artificial Intelligence (AI) startup Perplexity has made headlines with its ambitious bid to acquire TikTok.

Xi Jinping will visit Washington amidst rising tensions over President Trump's 20% tariff hike on China, citing fentanyl trafficking. China rejects the claims, calling the issue a pretext for tariffs, and urges the US to restart trade talks.

TikTok's update introduces a first-of-its-kind mindfulness tool, enforcing digital well-being for users under 16. But will it foster relaxation or fuel rebellion?
