On December 6th 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the TikTok Stripping Act signed by President Biden was upheld, requiring ByteDance to sell TikTok before January 19th 2025, or the application would be completely banned.

After the ruling was announced, TikTok immediately said that he would appeal to the US Supreme Court and seek a temporary injunction. With only 30 days left before the deadline, the pressure on TikTok is self-evident. However, from a deeper analysis, this storm is not only about the survival of TikTok, but also a "political theater" imposed by the US government for multiple factors. The real significance of this storm goes far beyond "prohibition and irrepressibility".
