The WSJ pointed to the similarity of the terms of the US-China TikTok deal with those discussed earlier.

During the discussion of the terms of the deal between the United States and China on the TikTok social network, the parties came to terms similar to those discussed earlier in April. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) drew attention to this on September 15.

"If both leaders [If China and the United States] agree, the terms will be similar to the proposal that the United States considered in April," the publication says.

So, the parties agreed on an option in which a consortium of investors will receive a share in the social network. At the same time, the American investment company Blackstone, which had previously applied for TikTok, is not expected to participate in this process.

"Previously, Beijing had not shown much interest in the agreement on the popular application, but probably agreed to maintain its aspirations to organize a visit by the president [of the United States Donald] Trump's trip to China," the newspaper reports.
