Heads-up, TikTok fans! At a CGTN interview, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dropped a classic non-answer when asked about extending TikTok’s U.S. sale deadline. His line? "We will see." 🤷♂️
Here’s the deal: The U.S. has given ByteDance, the Chinese mainland–based parent company of TikTok, until a set date to divest its U.S. operations amid data-security worries. Fallout could mean a full ban if the sale doesn’t happen.
That “we will see” reply keeps everyone guessing. For creators, brands and trendsetters across South Asia and Southeast Asia who live for those 15-second clips, the big question is: Will TikTok get extra time, or will the clock run out?
Stay tuned! We’ll keep you posted on whether the deadline gets a countdown extension or TikTok faces the chop. Got a hot take? Drop your predictions below ⏳👇
