US President Donald Trump said on Sunday (Mar 9) that his administration was in touch with four different groups about the sale of Chinese-owned social media platform TikTok, and that all options were good.
TikTok's fate has been up in the air since a law requiring its owner ByteDance to either sell it on national security grounds or face a ban took effect on Jan 19. CNA
Trump is still in delusion, telling reporters that he is talking to four parties to buy over TikTok. Does Trump own TikTok? Oh, I forgot, gangster Trump thinks he owns TikTok and the whole world. Everything belongs to him or America and he can decide to sell TikTok to anyone he deems fit, he can
grab Greenland, Canada, Gaza, Mexico, Panama Canal. Who is there to stop him?
Well, TikTok belongs to a Chinese company called ByteDance. If Trump wants to dance, he must ask if the partner, in this case the owner of ByteDance is willing to dance with him. TikTok is a popular app used worldwide, not just in America. TikTok can forgo America and give up on the 300m American users if Trump puts a ban on it. TikTok is not just about making profit like American companies or Li Kashing's Hutchinson. Forcing TikTok to sell to American companies is coercion and bullying which China would not accept. TikTok will give up the American market if necessary. Trump can go ahead and coerce all his colonies and allies, including crony states to ban TikTok. Would they continue to take the orders from this gangster against their national interests?
Canada, Mexico, Greenland and Europe are fighting back against Trump's abusive bullying. Forcing them to ban TikTok would only rub salt into their wounds. Poor UK and European countries are suffering from all the coercion by the Americans, cannot buy cheap oil and gas, cannot use Huawei's 5G, cannot buy Chinese EVs, but many European states and the UK are violating this American edict.
Trump's hold on American colonies, allies and crony states are slipping away. China will never allow TikTok to be sold to American companies under coercion. It would be like a slap on Xi's face and a slam on the Chinese people. The answer is NO Way. Stop dreaming about buying TikTok. It does not belong to Trump. Period.
The whole world is fed up with American hegemony and bullying. China is not Greenland, not Canada, not Mexico, not Gaza, not Panama. Failure to take over TikTok would be a tight slap in the face of Trump.
PS. I will be on a short tour in China for about 10 days. I will try to post if I can get it through. Please continue posting to keep mysingaporenews current and alive. Thank you. Redbean.

Trump is still living the time when he was hosting the Apprentice Show. Everything he can decide. He was the judge, jury and executioner.
I think he has dementia too.
Apprentice Show was a game. Grabbing everything is not a game. It may be a game in Trump's delusional mind, but he has to face reality at some point.
