Quick Glance: China Emphasizes Stronger Collaboration with US Amid Challenges
- China stresses the importance of enhanced cooperation with the United States despite facing significant obstacles.
- Xi emphasized to the US Secretary of State on Friday that the two superpowers 'should be partners rather than rivals' and should support each other's success, as reported by the state news agency Xinhua.
- During the five and a half hours of discussions, Blinken raised the issue of 'Chinese support to the Russian defence industrial base', and contentious topics such as Taiwan and the South China Sea were also addressed.
- Recent years have seen tumultuous China-US relations, exacerbated by factors including a trade war, a visit by then-House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan in 2022, and a dispute over the US downing of a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon last year.

Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim
- ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.
- Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.
- ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.
- As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

Quick Glance: TikTok Ban Threat: ByteDance Prefers Closure Over Sale, Insiders Say
- ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, would prefer to shut down its loss-making app rather than sell it if all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the US are exhausted, said four sources.
- TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance’s total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the US in a worst-case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said.
- 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.
