What's the story: Light Reading's Phil Harvey talks TikTok

This week on the "What's the Story?" podcast we're talking with Light Reading's Editor, Phil Harvey about the US vs. China trade war and how TikTok has been caught in the middle. Phil recaps a recent policy move by the Chinese government that looks to be aimed at delaying the sale of TikTok's US operations. The pressure is building and time is running out as the Trump administration has said the company needs to sell its US business soon or face a ban on its service. Phil catches us up on TikTok's whirlwind month, why it matters, and what's likely to happen next. This podcast was recorded on Monday, August 31.
