TikTok: US House of Representatives against ByteDance

The US House of Representatives is set to vote today on a bill that would give Chinese owner of TikTok, ByteDance, six months to divest the US assets of the short video app used by around 170 million Americans or face a ban.
The vote is expected around 10am ET (1400 GMT) and will be fast-tracked, requiring a two-thirds majority of members of the House of Representatives to pass the measure. Both supporters and opponents expect the measure to pass.

 Last month, President Joe Biden's re-election campaign joined TikTok, raising hopes among Tiktok officials that legislation was unlikely this year.
The measure is the latest in a series of moves by Washington in response to U.S. national security concerns about China, from connected vehicles to advanced artificial intelligence chips to cranes at U.S. ports.
