Genre Business Comment by Rick Lee Fascinating conversation on ByteDance, and they have so many apps and even one banned by Chinese government. 2019-02-01T09:57:46Z Comment by prodigal One of the best episodes, and the last two comes to this one. Facebook is so screwed with Tik Tok is coming from China to get them. 2019-02-01T09:56:52Z Comment by whitewarlord As usual, Matthew nailed it. Great deep dive into ByteDance. Just wonder if Zhang Yiming is going to end up in the same shit as what FB is facing today. 2019-02-01T09:50:49Z Comment by bujingyun Great introduction to ByteDance and it's great to have three in a row to form a trilogy on them. Wonder if Mark Zuckerberg realize that they are the real threat to Facebook globally. 2019-02-01T09:49:09Z
