TikTok sale to Musk: China considers alleged deal

Bloomberg reports that the Chinese government is considering selling TikTok's U.S. business to Elon Musk to avert an impending ban in the U.S. Musk's platform X could then take over and merge the U.S. services of TikTok, with the algorithm developed in China being an important aspect of the deal.  TikTok denied the reports, while the deadline for the separation from ByteDance expires on January 19; a ban would shut down the platform in the US. Musk, who has close ties to China and Trump, could benefit from TikTok's data and use his influence in US politics, which some observers see as an advantage for China.

Focus on global conflicts, geopolitical tensions and economic measures

US President Donald Trump has made a surprise suggestion at a press conference with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the US could take control of the Gaza Strip and develop it into an international residential and tourist area. This fits in with his recent expansionist rhetoric, which also includes proposals to take over Greenland and the Panama Canal. Trump's statement sent diplomatic shockwaves around the world. Human rights organizations criticized his idea of resettling Palestinian residents as possible ethnic cleansing. Experts suspect that Trump merely wants to shift negotiating positions with such extreme proposals. According to surveys, however, the US public is skeptical of his expansionist policy.
