Back with a China Morning Missive
This one is simple. There will be no TikTok deal if Trump makes it a quid pro quo.
The Chinese know he could just as easily reverse any agreement made. I’m expecting the Chinese to refuse to play ball and the best case scenario is for the can to be kicked down the road.
60% of ByteDance is foreign owned. The Chinese would rather let it all burn to the ground than submit to demands by Trump.
