Bejing would rather see TikTok USA close than a forced sale

<p>China would prefer to see the short video app TikTok shut down its operation in the USA, rather than a forced sale by the Trump administration, reported Reuters. The news report, quoting three people with direct knowledge of the matter, said that Bejing believes a forced sale would make China appear weak. Microsoft and Oracle are in talks with Bytedance for the purchase of TikTok assets in the USA.&nbsp; Trump&#39;s deadline for sale will end in mid-September.</p>
