Isnt that pretty damn suspicious? We'd rather just shut down than sell it as a going concern?
It's obviously pretty valuable. How would we feel if say, China decided Microsoft/Google/AWS/Oracle had to sell to a Chinese company on the grounds of national security? They'd rather pull out too, despite China being a very large market too. Or what happens if other countries starts demanding the same?
Pretty sure ByteDance would rather keep their IP.
And if they sell, do they keep the rights for the other countries or it belongs to the US now?
They don't let our stuff operate there. It's only fair we treat them the same.
But we aren't them... right?
Paradox of tolerance, blah blah
