TikTok Says It Will Exit Hong Kong Market Within Days

A spokeswoman on Monday reported that Tickcock is blocking government requests for user data in the region, along with other tech companies, including Facebook. China's Byte Dance-owned short-form video app has decided to exit the region after China introduced a comprehensive new national security law for the semi-autonomous city. A TechTalk spokesman said in response to a Reuters question about its commitment to the market, "In view of recent developments, we have decided to operate the TickTalk app in Hong Kong."

Last August, Ticktock said it had attracted 150,000 customers in Hong Kong. According to analytics firm Sensor Tower, TicTac has been downloaded 2 billion times worldwide by Apple and the Google App Store since the first quarter of this year. The move comes amid uncertainty over whether Hong Kong is now fully under Beijing's jurisdiction. The ticket is designed so that the mainland does not reach China. This is part of a strategy to attract more global audiences. Its counterpart on the mainland is called Doin. Bite Dance spokesman said there are currently no plans to introduce the bat to the Hong Kong market. Although Doyen is not available in the overseas App Store, another source familiar with the situation said it was gathering more customers from Hong Kong's Tikkak. Mainland Chinese users can change accounts or download them on the mainland. "Dun has a large number of customers in Hong Kong and will continue to serve customers there," Biotins China CEO Nong Nong said in a statement. Fung Kicheng, an assistant professor at China University of Hong Kong, said Tikkak's move highlighted the dilemma that Chinese companies are trying to internationalize, which is "inevitable". "You have to follow local policies and try to demean the Chinese government and the people. The only strategy is to separate the sharpshooter from the (Doin) bytes."
