    Holy shit, that is a sweet deal. What I think is more interesting however, is that it’s also kinda revealing that they think law works like this in the West - and also what level of control they think is acceptable for a state to have.

      What I like is that the west is the one failing to stick to its own stated principles of capitalism and private property.

        Tbh I’d say it’s more about the fact china doesn’t allow western companies in china to do what tiktok was doing in the us.

          I mean… These terms exceed what Douyin does in China. It’s actually an insane level of concessions.

      State control over the literally is pretty much communism 101. It’s not really surprisingly or revealing of anything given that it is a Chinese company. It’s like going to America and being surprised that they have hamburgers and McDonalds.
