Carlos Medeiros on Why One Investor Is Buying ByteDance Stock Despite TikTok Ban Threat

Message »

The fund's bet is primarily focused on the Chinese government's future stance towards ByteDance in 2 key topics, not on TikTok's potential ban or ByteDance's valuation.

The U.S. has pressured ByteDance to divest from TikTok, which is different from an outright ban. So far, the Chinese government has remained notably quiet on this issue.

If a ban or forced divestiture does occur, one might expect that the Chinese government will respond. U.S. investors in ByteDance might then face potential retaliation from China.

Additionally, as mentioned in the article, unlike other major Chinese tech companies, ByteDance has not been significantly affected by the Chinese government's recent crackdown on the tech sector. Part of the fund's bet hinges on whether this hands-off approach will continue.
