After four extensions of the legal deadline to ban TikTok or force its Chinese owners to divest, US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order making the app US property. The announcement comes after years of diplomatic wrangling, bureaucratic maneuvering, repeated efforts by federal and state governments to restrict the platform, and even a ruling by the US Supreme Court. Has the fate of America's most viral social media app finally been decided? Those expecting a shutdown will be disappointed. This latest "framework consensus" still leaves China with significant influence over TikTok. What looks like a victory for the US may be Chinese President Xi Jinping's greatest strategic triumph.
