TikTok Ltd is based in Singapore and owned by ByteDance Ltd which is incorporated in the Cayman Islands but headquartered in Beijing. The US version of TikTok is maintained by USDS which is based in Texas. So I believe the CPC has members of the ByteDance board and can make changes from the top down, but it’s not technically a Chinese company.
