France International Radio reported on September 17: "Trump said the US and China have reached an agreement on TikTok, and the ban has been postponed again. The algorithm ownership remains questionable. Trump reiterated to the media before departing for his visit to the UK on Thursday that the US and China have reached an 'agreement' on TikTok. Washington said the US version of the platform will belong to the US. However, there are doubts about whether the Chinese parent company will transfer the algorithm to the US."
[Witty] Comment a bit: It is speculated that the agreement that both sides have not yet announced may be that TikTok's core algorithm is not sold, but the US version of TikTok adopts a new approach of "technology licensing, data hosting plus Sino-US joint venture". If this condition is really implemented, the Chinese side is not necessarily unwilling to accept, but the key is that the US must show sufficient sincerity for interest exchange. The US has always used "national security" as an excuse to suppress Chinese enterprises. Now, if it wants to reach an agreement, the US should make substantive concessions in trade barriers, technology blockades, etc.
