Didn't something similar happen with Grindr? It was Chinese owned and sold without nearly as much excitement. Given the inevitable bidding war from multiple interested parties I would be surprised if they couldn't get a fair price for TikTok

China didn’t need to fight to keep Grindr because all the value from the acquisition was realized as soon as they ran a database query to compile a list of closeted Republican senators. No need to hold on once you got the spy treasure.

    What about future senators?

      Senators have to be at minimum 30, more commonly 50+.

      Anyone that's going to be a senator in the next 12 years (at minimum) is already on Grindr if they were ever going to be.
