      And now, a message from reality:

      TikTok, whose mainland Chinese counterpart is Douyin, is a short-form video hosting service owned by Chinese internet company ByteDance.

      ByteDance Ltd. is a Chinese internet technology company headquartered in Haidian, Beijing and incorporated in the Cayman Islands.

      ByteDance was founded and is headed by one Zhang Yeming, born April 1, 1983 in Longyan, Fujian, China.
