Chinese state media labeled the U.S. a “rogue country” and dubbed the potential sale of social media firm TikTok to Microsoft as “theft,” adding that Beijing could retaliate if a deal is sealed.

As mentioned in my previous post we can see that the Chinese government is likely going to show retaliation with the actions of the US government with Apple possibly as the main target? 

I am not a user of TikTok but I am not sure what type of technology theft Microsoft would gain with TikTok based on the article. I have seen videos of TikTok and its a social network for sharing user-generated videos which to me the most valuable part of it is this network that has been built. 

Technology wise it would be similar to Youtube or what Facebook is offering unless I am wrong?
