    The place of the headquarter doesn’t necessarily reflecht the juristiction. And they developed both Douyin and Tiktok (it is the same app).

      It’s not about jurisdiction though, it’s about the Chinese government’s rules controlling businesses that operate from within their country. You can’t really headquarter there and then tell them you don’t want to play ball.

      Agreed that it’s the same app, that’s kind of my point regarding the Beijing-based company that owns Douyin.
