Quick Glance: TikTok Ban Threat: ByteDance Prefers Closure Over Sale, Insiders Say

- ByteDance would not agree to sell one of its most valuable assets – its “secret source” – to rivals, said the four sources, referring to the TikTok algorithm.
- After facing challenges regarding bans, the short-form video app has encountered partial and attempted prohibitions in the US and other nations.

pbs.org/newshour/politics/house-panel-says-china-subsidizes-fentanyl-production-to-fuel-crisis-in-the-u-s
Quick Glance: China's Subsidization of Fentanyl Production Intensifying Crisis in the U.S.
- A report from a special House committee states that China is fueling the Fentanyl crisis in the U.S. directly by subsidizing the manufacturing of materials used by traffickers outside the country to produce the drug.
- The committee found that the Chinese government provides tax rebates for the production of specific Fentanyl precursors and other synthetic drugs as long as they are sold outside of China.
- The report highlights that China not only subsidizes the manufacturing of precursor chemicals but also thwarts investigations into illegal manufacturers by warning the targets when formal requests for assistance are made by U.S. law enforcement.
- Former Attorney General William Barr recommended that the U.S. should leverage its trade and economic power to push for stronger enforcement from Chinese authorities, and victims should take civil actions against companies and individuals involved in distributing the precursors and synthetic drugs.

The US is right to target TikTok : Chinese control of a powerful ‘persuasive AI’ tool cannot be tolerated
ft.com/content/69caf324-2ac0-4b53-a0b4-1f2ecae6e29e
Quick Glance: The US is right to target TikTok
- The US House of Representatives in March overwhelmingly passed a bill to force divestiture of TikTok from its Chinese parent.
- This TikTok divestiture is about preventing a foreign adversary from controlling a platform to deploy what I call “persuasive AI”.
- TikTok is a tool that has proven so valuable that ByteDance is spending money hand over fist on an intimidation campaign.
- The proposed legislation targets TikTok’s foreign ownership, not its content, and does not violate the First Amendment of the US constitution.
