Trump's love of TikTok raises questions about its ban in US
President-elect Donald Trump's repeated support for TikTok has sparked speculation about potential solutions to prevent the app's impending ban in the US, though the path forward currently remains unclear. Trump opposes banning TikTok partly because he believes it would primarily benefit Meta, the Mark Zuckerberg-led company behind Instagram and Facebook. Congress passed legislation in April that would block TikTok from US app stores and web hosting services unless ByteDance sells its stake by Jan. 19.

The US opened an investigation into China's policies for its semiconductor industry over concerns that Beijing is turning to "extensive anti-competitive and non-market means" to undermine other economies.

The fear is that Beijing's practices undermine "the competitiveness of American industry and workers, critical US supply chains."
