Their primary competitors are YouTube and Facebook, Instagram reels. Well, if they're separate, then they are dramatically smaller than the global giants, which was not the case last month. So that has some interesting, sort of, business strategy and competition questions that get raised."</p><p>The deal is aimed at avoiding a U.S. ban of the short video app, which is used regularly by more than 170 million Americans.</p><p>It comes after a yearslong saga to force TikTok's Chinese owner ByteDance to sell its U.S. operation, which began in August 2020, when President Donald Trump first tried unsuccessfully to ban the app over U.S. national security concerns.</p><p>Financial terms of the deal, announced in an internal memo by TikTok (U.S.) seen by Reuters, were not disclosed.</p><p>The White House said in September the new joint venture would operate TikTok's U.S. app, but questions remain about the deal, including the business relationships between the new joint venture and ByteDance… which will still own about 20% of the U.S. company.</p><p>Sources told Reuters in September that ByteDance would also own a separate division that would control the revenue-generating business operations such as e-commerce and advertising.</p><p>Those arrangements formed the deal framework announced on Thursday, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Friday.</p><p>"The big question is still, is Chinese government going to approve this?
