Well, today's your lucky day.

And I'm Katie Greifeld.

Many were anxiously waiting for some updates on TikTok's future in the U.S.

I was following this week's meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, but nothing really came out of it.

And while China's Commerce Ministry did say on Thursday that it's committed to properly resolving issues related to TikTok, it didn't mention specifics.

You've got a great newsletter out today, Tech in Depth.

And, well, we're left hanging.

We've been waiting for any clear sign, basically since the executive order was signed back in September that said that the deal was going to be advancing, any clear sign that China is actually on board.

And of course, everybody in the Trump White House has been very reassuring and saying that China is fully on board with this.

But reading between the lines, we really haven't heard a lot from China.

And even after this meeting that the two leaders had yesterday, we were waiting for any sort of clear signaling that

You know, things are really progressing.

And I think that most people watching were more interested in what wasn't said than what actually was.

There is still much cynicism, shall I say, over any future relationship of just a spun out TikTok in the U.S.

from President Trump's own party.

Absolutely.

I mean, I think that you already have members of his own party who have pointed out all sorts of issues with the deal that has been proposed.

You know, the law that was passed last year under then President Joe Biden said that there really has to be no operational relationship between

TikTok and its parent company ByteDance under whatever new setup we may have.
