TikTok gets another chance to breathe. According to CCTV News, US President Trump signed an executive order on the 20th local time, requiring the short video social media platform TikTok's "ban if not sold" law not to be implemented for the next 75 days. Some interviewees believe that the short-term recovery is a phased victory for TikTok's struggle in the United States, but it is not the end of TikTok's fate in the United States. In addition to extending the implementation period of "ban if not sold" by 75 days, there are still limits on what the president can do in the end. Reporters learned that in the relevant provisions of TikTok's "ban if not sold", if the president determines that the sale has made progress, he can exercise the right of extension once. But that's all. In the view of the interviewees, the short-term recovery and the extension of the implementation period of "ban if not sold" by 75 days are not the end of TikTok's fate in the United States, and TikTok's future in the US market is still under discussion.
TikTok is in a difficult situation in the United States: it will be restarted after being shut down for 14 hours, and the "no sale or ban" policy will be postponed for 75 days
