U.S. Threatens Ban if TikTok’s Chinese Owners Don’t Sell Stakes

TikTok says forced sale won’t resolve national security issues; CEO set to appear before Congress next week

The move represents a major shift in policy on the part of the administration, which has been under fire from some Republicans who say it hasn’t taken a tough enough stance to address the perceived security threat from TikTok, owned by Beijing-based ByteDance Ltd.
