Source: The Global Times set a deadline for TikTok on November 12 by the US government.However, as of the press last night, there was still no clear solution for this short video giant's business in the US.In September this year, the Trump government announced that unless TikTok sold its assets in the United States, it would "de facto prohibit TikTok" before November 12.However, this administrative order was suspended by the United States Federal District Court on September 28 and October 30 respectively.The judge in Washington, D.C., said in his ruling that the injunction was "likely to exceed" the legal limits.The Wall Street Journal said on the 12th that there were signs that TikTok was preparing for a longer fight with the US government.According to the Washington Post on the 11th, TikTok filed a lawsuit against the US government the day before, requesting the US court to intervene in order to give him more time to reach an agreement with the US government.TikTok said that it had asked a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., to conduct "action review" on the U.S.Foreign Investment Commission, which asked it to divest its assets in the United States, and said that the Commission did not provide "substantive feedback" on the transactions proposed by the company.According to US media, the indictment also disclosed some new details: after the preliminary "agency operation" agreement reached with Oracle and Wal Mart was shelved by the US government, TikTok also submitted a new "agency operation" plan.According to the plan, TikTok plans to outsource the audit of American user data and content to a newly established American agent operating company, while the rest of the business will continue to be operated by TikTok.However, it was not accepted by the US.The Wall Street Journal said that as November 12 approaches, the Trump government's influence on TikTok owners seems to be at least weakening.If TikTok wins this round of litigation, it will expand the legal offensive of TikTok and its parent company ByteDance, and require the court to overturn the legal basis of the US government's order to divest assets.
