Smart move. Let’s see how it plays out.

Username checks out. UK-China friendship, meh. Either you are trolling, if not, it will take a fuckton of propoganda dose to believe in something like "long live UK-China friendship" https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/business-53462918

Boris Johnson already approved the deal. Don’t tell me you don’t know who he is🤣

Amazon l0st Aug 3, 2020

Checked it. Sun is reporting that Boris has apparently approved the London HQ. I guess you are right here.

Now, the 10k headcount in Bay Area can turn into 20k headcount in UK. And talent from Punjab Institute of technology will be replaced by talents from Cambridge.

Yelp ImranKhan OP Aug 3, 2020

^ this. A win-win move for both Tiktok and UK. Also a good example for other companies who plan to do business in US.

Amazon MQ89 Aug 3, 2020

They may be able to transfer the app to UK company. If Trump still want to ban it, he is banning a British company. It will be Tiktok Landon developing the app and Microsoft run it in America.

What the fuckkkk

LMAO they desperately don't want to be a Chinese company. This is great.

Yelp ImranKhan OP Aug 3, 2020

lol. Hope that makes you feel better😂

Tiktok is only the international version of one app owned by Bytedance. It is not even the most popular one. They are probably connected by Chinese government to British. It is diplomatically very smart.

Pinterest sataynut Aug 3, 2020

A good chunk of Bytedance becomes part of Microsoft, the rest becomes a UK company. Maybe small office left in China 😂

Amazon MQ89 Aug 3, 2020

Their total MAU last year was 1.5 billion people. 50 ~ 100 million is going to Microsoft. And another 100 million will be run by British headquarters may be.

PayPal ohmydear! Aug 3, 2020

Tiktok is only one/version of the apps from Bytedance. You have to read more.

Roblox oooffffff Aug 3, 2020

Stupid games. Tiktok can still be banned in the US. CCP doesn’t allow equal fair market access in China, so let’s ban their spyware. Yelp, why you still working at an American company? Should t you be moving back to China?

Amazon MQ89 Aug 3, 2020

They probably can get back to India by this move. Indian are spineless in front of British.

Yelp ImranKhan OP Aug 3, 2020

Yeah. I sincerely hope Trump can just ban it🤪 Huawei left US years ago and achieved greater success in Europe. Now Huawei is the leader in 5g technology. That’s the way to go. btw Roblox is ccp company. You should stop reporting to your HQ in Shenzhen🤣

A Pakistani praising china and UK relationship, hmm.. and through his comments showing love to China. When will you guys understand china's intention to fund Pakistan ? Stop being a moron to country you are in, if you are in US, respect the country and leave your agenda outside.

Yelp ImranKhan OP Aug 3, 2020

Why are you attacking Pakistanis?
