Tik Tok’s Push for World Domination
Remember when Washington was contemplating whether to boot Tik-Tok out of the country. The issue is Tik Tok's Overlords in China having back-channel access to your personal information here in America? Tik Tok promised to behave… and now with 70 million active users in America Tik Tok is making expansion plans in an unexpected direction. While you or your kids laugh the 180-billion funny little videos… Tik Tok is getting ready to take on Amazon. And of all the insults… we learn of this on Amazon Prime Day. Dozens of Tik Tok job openings on Linked In seem to indicate the company is planning to scale up an e-commerce business… complete with product fulfillment centers… a supply chain… a streamlined customs operation to get products out of China …where half of everything comes from. The Financial Times reports Tik Tok will start by introducing a live-shopping feature. Something like QVC where you can snap up all kinds of different baubles and chachkas.. Tik Tok's already doing this in the UK… and from there… once the pipeline is created it’s just a question of scaling up and eventually… in their dreams… giving Amazon a run for its money. And there certainly is a lot of it. Last year… Amazon’s revenue totals almost a half trillion dollars. Soon … some of that money might be shipped off to China
