A long -awaited agreement on the future of Tiktok to United States seems to be close as the US president Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Si Jing They are expected to discuss the terms today.

In accordance with Bbchigh -ranking officials on both sides ended up this week in a “framework framework”, which may lead to the sale of Tiktok’s American activities to consortiumsuch as Oracle, and Investment Funds.

At the heart of the negotiation is the application algorithm, the “secret ingredient” that determines which content appears to users. OR ByTedanceowner of Tiktok, refused to grant full access, but the Chinese authorities appear willing to allow license to be granted, but without transfer. This would mean that an American version of the app would operate with “lighter” software, probably with limited experience for users.

Negotiations, however, are still far from completion. The agreement should be approved by Congress and reassure national security concerns that had led former President Joe Biden to sign a law that demanded the separation of Tiktok’s US activities from China, under the threat of a ban.

For China, such an agreement can be a strategic advantage: it will allow ByTedance to maintain control of its algorithm, while creating a “Tiktok model” that could be utilized by other Chinese companies in the US market.

The stakes are huge: Tiktok has 170 million users in the US, with revenue per user being multiplied by other countries. An agreement could be considered a “rare opening” in Sino -American trade – though, as a specialist commented, “it will always be under a cloud of uncertainty.”
