TikTok, Sing a Song of Sixpence, A pocket Full of Rye, Four and Twenty Blackbirds Baked in an American Pie — M. K. Bhadrakumar

Third-party analysis of the deal, which looks now like it is going to happen with a compromise. Actually, it looks like a win-win even if ByteDance did get mugged, which also hurt America's reputation as open for business. But in the end, the pie will most likely grow much bigger with US backing and global expansion guaranteed.

Conversely, in US politics neither side is willing to compromise, so the system seems to be headed for gridlock, showing again that politics is not like business.
