TikTok创始人张翳明建立了自己的技术抵御帝国的巨头阿里巴巴和腾讯在家里和羞辱脸谱网国外。现在可以撕裂的斗殴,民族主义领导人世界上两个最强大的国家。
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普打TikTok周四在最有利可图的市场,当他搬到禁止和腾讯super-app微信——在45天。随后胜过努力让张出售TikTok的美国业务于9月15日美国微软(Microsoft corp .)或另一个追求者。当中国习近平副主席的军事卷入了一种致命的6月份与印度的边境冲突,反华情绪的激增导致了禁止中国60多个应用程序——包括TikTok在国家最下载。
TikTok的成功使它备受瞩目的特朗普的目标,对中国的强硬立场——拳击从贸易到华为技术有限公司南海——是他连任竞选的核心。除了TikTok和微信,他的政府考虑禁止更多的中国应用,为了防止北京访问数据使用战术一旦从美国人倡导的中国。
张,其ByteDance有限公司。拥有TikTok,即将建设世界第三真正意义上的全球广告和社交媒体的力量。现在,北京和华盛顿的压力已经让这个梦想处于危险境地,迫使这位37岁的创始人亿万富翁做出决定根植于政治不商业。中国愤怒坐骑对特朗普的攻击TikTok,张甚至可以决定不出售。TikTok星期五在一份措辞强硬的声明表示“震惊”的特朗普的禁令,将追求所有可用的补救措施,包括通过美国法院。
ByteDance国际冒险”很好的小周旋,但失去一些海外市场并不是一个对公司的威胁,”迈克尔·诺里斯说,研究和策略管理器与上海咨询公司AgencyChina。“但是失去中国和与北京当局。”
张从来没有做一个预期。多年来,他设法保持独立于阿里巴巴集团(Alibaba Group Holding Ltd .)和腾讯控股有限公司,中国互联网的两大太阳。他的中国科技同行不能说一样的。Ride-hailing巨头迪迪Chuxing计数腾讯作为主要投资者。那么食品外卖平台Meituan点评网。
张已明确表示他不想走同样的道路。在2016年回应传言,腾讯是愿意购买ByteDance,张在社交媒体上写道,他没有发现他的公司成为一个腾讯的员工。后,他从乐队美国作家引用歌词,“如果我要去,去大或去走了走,要么做大,要么回家。”
1983年出生在南部城市龙岩,张的唯一的儿子是公务员。他在天津南开大学学习编程。在那里,他建立了一个学校的网上论坛,修复后的同学的电脑,也遇见了他未来的妻子。毕业后,他加入了微软短暂,但后来在一次采访中说,这项工作很无聊他经常“一半的一天工作,读书在另一半。”
张2012年开始ByteDance,吸引中国顶尖工程师拥有巨额的薪水。启动的第一个应用程序,Neihan Duanzi——这意味着“隐含笑话”在英语使用人工智能裁缝的模因个人的口味。吸引数以百万计的用户和精炼后与大量数据的人工智能算法,ByteDance使用同样的方法来创建新闻推荐应用金日Toutiao,或“今天的头条新闻。乐动扑克“这成为ByteDance首位轰动一时的打击。
没过多久张违反了北京。2018年,他向监管机构道歉,传播内容与“社会主义核心价值体系”,关闭笑话应用。“我们深刻地理解,我们的快速发展是一个机会我们这个伟大的时代。”张女士在一封公开信中写道。“我感谢这个时代。我要感谢经济改革开放的历史机遇;感谢政府给予支持科技产业的发展。”
认错是一个早期的例子箍张不得不跳过继续领先于监管机构,在家里,后来海外。他最初试图推动Toutiao-style新闻应用在英语国家,但只有成为一个严重的竞争对乐动扑克手Facebook inc .和字母inc .)和短视频。2017年,ByteDance对嘴应用购买音乐。ly,后来演变成TikTok达成一项协议,在外国投资委员会的审查,在美国或外国投资委员会,涉嫌构成国家安全的威胁。
TikTok很快起飞在全球范围内,有超过二十亿次下载到目前为止,随着中国双胞胎Douyin服务。美国是TikTok最有利可图的市场应用方面的支出和抓住广告收入,否则去Facebook的Instagram和其他社交媒体应用程序。今天ByteDance是世界上最有价值的公司,估值高达1400亿美元。去年,张的公司产生超过30亿美元的净利润超过170亿美元的收入,据彭博社报道。
但中国电力越来越感到担忧,TikTok在若干国家已成为怀疑的对象。张想要的最后一件事是绝对禁止在美国,where he has built up TikTok’s operations, hired an American chief and reassured regulators that user data won’t be shared outside the country. He has also stepped up lobbying in Washington, pledged to create 10,000 American jobs and created a $200 million fund to support U.S. TikTok stars. But these measures have failed to satisfy the Trump administration.
“张面临着同样的困境,中国和美国科技公司面临进入对方的市场空间,”肯德拉Schaefer说,数字研究主管咨询在北京三学科。“中国的平台,包括那些由ByteDance,走一样的细线在国内许多外国科技公司在中国:安抚监管者而试图创新和保持盈利。”
这个封闭的创始人表示了他的不满美国当局ByteDance员工。周一在一次全体备忘录,张说他不同意外国投资委员会,他出售TikTok的美国业务的需求。“我们一再强调,我们是一个私营企业,”他写到。一天后,在另一个给中国员工,他被迫出售”不合理。“但这并不是他们的目标,甚至是他们想要的东西,”他说。“他们的真正目的是实现一个全面的禁令。”
张不能指望的支持他的同胞们挥霍在华为创始人任正非是谁锁在自己的战斗与特朗政府。华为是一个真正的国家冠军企业,构建先进的智能手机和网络设备。ByteDance使消费者应用程序,然而受欢迎。张甚至不得不隐藏自己的帖子在微博网站微博账户被淹后评论抨击他为“叛徒”,甚至考虑卖给一家美国公司。
不过,北京似乎只背——如果地缘政治影响力。每天在周五的新闻发布会上,外交部抨击美国“以国家安全为借口,用国家权力压迫美国以外的业务。“国家报纸《中国乐动扑克日报》此前呼吁ByteDance捍卫自己的合法权利,反对它所描述为“强行夺取”,特朗普。
当被问及隐私问题带来的Toutiao吸收用户数据2015年,张告诉小组在上海,“机器和算法将增长更聪明,但他们总是无辜的。“当挑战主持人,他背后的真正老板机、张笑着回答道:“我也总是无辜的。”

TikTok<\/a> founder Zhang Yiming<\/a> built his tech empire by fending off giants like Alibaba<\/a> and Tencent<\/a> at home and humbling Facebook<\/a> abroad. Now all that could get torn apart at the hands of the brawling, nationalistic leaders of the world\u2019s two most powerful countries.
US President Donald Trump hit TikTok in its most lucrative market Thursday when he moved to ban it -- along with Tencent\u2019s super-app WeChat -- in 45 days. That followed efforts by Trump to get Zhang to sell off TikTok\u2019s U.S. operations to Microsoft Corp. or another American suitor by Sept. 15. When Chinese President Xi Jinping\u2019s military became embroiled in a deadly border clash with India in June, a surge of anti-China sentiment led to the banning of more than 60 Chinese apps -- including TikTok in the country where it has the most downloads.
TikTok\u2019s success has made it a high-profile target for Trump, whose tough stance on China -- sparring on everything from trade to Huawei Technologies Co. to the South China Sea -- is a centerpiece of his re-election campaign. Besides TikTok and WeChat, his administration has considered banning more Chinese apps, an effort to prevent Beijing from accessing data from Americans using tactics once championed by China.

Besides TikTok and WeChat, his administration has considered banning more Chinese apps, an effort to prevent Beijing from accessing data from Americans using tactics once championed by China.
<\/div><\/div>Zhang, whose ByteDance Ltd<\/a>. owns TikTok, was on the verge of building the world\u2019s third truly global advertising and social-media force. Now, pressure from Beijing and Washington has put that dream in peril, forcing the 37-year-old billionaire founder to make a decision rooted in politics not business. As anger mounts in China about Trump\u2019s attacks on TikTok, Zhang could even decide not to sell. TikTok said in a strongly worded statement Friday that it\u2019s \u201cshocked\u201d by Trump\u2019s ban and will pursue all remedies available, including through the U.S. courts.
ByteDance\u2019s international adventures \u201care nice little jaunts, but losing a few overseas markets isn\u2019t an existential threat to the company,\u201d said Michael Norris, a research and strategy manager with the Shanghai consulting firm AgencyChina. \u201cBut losing China and falling foul of the authorities in Beijing is.\u201d
Zhang has never been one to do the expected. For years, he managed to remain independent from Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd. -- the twin suns of China\u2019s internet. His Chinese tech peers can\u2019t say the same. Ride-hailing giant Didi Chuxing counts Tencent as a major investor. So does food-delivery platform Meituan Dianping.

<\/div><\/div>Zhang has made it clear he doesn\u2019t want to go down the same path. Responding to rumors in 2016 that Tencent was willing to buy ByteDance, Zhang wrote on social media that he didn\u2019t found his company just to become a Tencent employee. In the post, he quoted lyrics from the band American Authors, \u201cSo if I\u2019m gonna go at all, go big or go go go, go big or go home.\u201d
Born in 1983 in the southern city of Longyan, Zhang is the only son of civil servants. He studied programming at Nankai University in Tianjin. There he built a following on the school\u2019s online forum by repairing classmates\u2019 computers and also met his future wife. After graduation he joined Microsoft for a brief stint, but later said in an interview that the job was so boring he often \u201cworked half of the day and read books in the other half.\u201d
Zhang started ByteDance in 2012, luring China\u2019s top engineers with hefty paychecks. One of the startup\u2019s first apps, Neihan Duanzi -- it means \u201cimplied jokes\u201d in English -- used artificial intelligence to tailor a selection of memes to individual tastes. After attracting tens of millions of users and refining its AI algorithms with massive data, ByteDance used the same approach to create the news-recommendation app Jinri Toutiao, or \u201ctoday\u2019s headlines.\u201d It became ByteDance\u2019s first blockbuster hit.
It wasn\u2019t long before Zhang ran afoul of Beijing. In 2018 he apologized to regulators for spreading content not in line with \u201csocialist core values\u201d and shut down the joke app. \u201cWe profoundly understand that our rapid development was an opportunity afforded us by this great era.\u201d Zhang wrote in an open letter. \u201cI thank this era. I thank the historic opportunity of economic reform and opening; and I thank the support the government has given for the development of the technology industry.\u201d
The mea culpa is an early example of the hoops Zhang has had to jump through to keep ahead of regulators, first at home and later overseas. He initially tried to push a Toutiao-style news app in English-speaking countries, but only became a serious rival to Facebook Inc. and Alphabet Inc. with short videos. In 2017, ByteDance purchased the lip-syncing app Musical.ly that later morphed into TikTok, a deal that has been under the review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or CFIUS, for allegedly posing national-security threats.
TikTok soon took off globally, with more than two billion downloads to date, along with its Chinese twin service Douyin. The U.S. is TikTok\u2019s most lucrative market in terms of in-app spending and is grabbing ad revenue that might otherwise go to Facebook\u2019s Instagram and other social-media apps. Today ByteDance is the world\u2019s most valuable startup, with a valuation of as much as $140 billion. Last year, Zhang\u2019s company generated more than $3 billion of net profit on more than $17 billion in revenue, Bloomberg reported in May.
But amid growing concerns about Chinese power, TikTok has become an object of suspicion in several countries. The last thing Zhang wants is an outright ban in the U.S., where he has built up TikTok\u2019s operations, hired an American chief and reassured regulators that user data won\u2019t be shared outside the country. He has also stepped up lobbying in Washington, pledged to create 10,000 American jobs and created a $200 million fund to support U.S. TikTok stars. But these measures have failed to satisfy the Trump administration.
\u201cZhang is facing the same dilemma that both Chinese and U.S. tech firms face entering each other\u2019s market space,\u201d said Kendra Schaefer, head of digital research at consultancy Trivium in Beijing. \u201cChinese platforms, including those run by ByteDance, are walking the same fine line domestically as many foreign tech firms do in China: placating regulators while attempting to innovate and stay profitable.\u201d
The reclusive founder has expressed his frustration with U.S. authorities to ByteDance employees. In an all-hands memo on Monday, Zhang said he disagrees with CFIUS\u2019s demand that he sell TikTok\u2019s U.S. operations. \u201cWe\u2019ve repeatedly stressed that we\u2019re a privately run business,\u201d he wrote. One day later, in another letter to China staff, he called the forced sale \u201cunreasonable.\u201d \u201cBut this is not their goal, or even what they want,\u201d he said. \u201cTheir real objective is to achieve a comprehensive ban.\u201d
Zhang can\u2019t count on the kind of support his countrymen have lavished on Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, who is locked in his own battle with the Trump administration. Huawei is a bona fide national champion that builds state-of-the-art smartphones and networking gear. ByteDance makes consumer apps, however popular. Zhang even had to hide his posts on the microblogging site Weibo after his account was flooded with comments slamming him as a \u201ctraitor\u201d for even considering selling to an American company.
Still, Beijing seems to have his back -- if only for geopolitical leverage. In a daily press conference on Friday, the Foreign Ministry blasted the U.S. for \u201cusing national security as an excuse and using state power to oppress non-American businesses.\u201d State newspaper China Daily had earlier called on ByteDance to defend its rights legally against what it described as a \u201csmash and grab\u201d by Trump.
When asked about privacy concerns brought by Toutiao hoovering up user data in 2015, Zhang told a panel in Shanghai, \u201cMachines and algorithms will grow smarter, but they are always innocent.\u201d When challenged by the moderator that he\u2019s the real boss behind the machine, Zhang replied with a chuckle: \u201cI\u2019m also always innocent.\u201d
