1. Then why is that investor so aggressively against the forced divestment? (not a ban)

2. Bytedance will certainly lose value if its main product loses one of its main markets.

He also has a major donor who owns Meta, and a major donor who owns Twitter/X.

He also has a daughter who is the only American to hold patents in China without having to license IP to a Chinese company.

We are about to see some strange mental gymnastics out of 1600 Penn.
