President Donald Trump declared a national emergency to unveil his list of reciprocal tariffs on some of America&#8217;s biggest trade partners.
This act by the White House marks the biggest upheaval in global trade in decades, which Trump claims is being done to &#8216;strengthen the international economic position of the United States&#8217; and &#8216;protect American workers.&#8217; 
What Happened: On Wednesday, Trump invoked his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 to declare a state of emergency and enact reciprocal tariffs to address &#8216;the large and persistent trade deficit&#8217; experienced by the United States.
A <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-declares-national-emergency-to-increase-our-competitive-edge-protect-our-sovereignty-and-strengthen-our-national-and-economic-security/">White House &#8216;Fact Sheet&#8217;</a> accompanying the President&#8217;s announcement lays out the list of tariffs imposed on imports into the U.S. and the countries that are being subjected to them, as Trump emphasizes the golden rule of trade: &#8216;Treat us like we treat you.&#8217;
Here&#8217;s a complete rundown of what the fact sheet entails, with a spotlight on key points and what they each mean for the U.S., as well as the global economy.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44620686/sp-500-nasdaq-futures-plunge-over-3-as-trumps-reciprocal-tariff-plan-hits-market-confidence">Trump&#8217;s &#8216;Reciprocal Tariff&#8217; Plan Hits Market Confidence As Dow Futures Drops Over 830 Points</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Address Trade Deficit &amp; Unfair Practices</h3>
The fact sheet states that the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/economy/trade/us-trade-import-export-deficit-charts-490a7bce">United States suffered a $1.2 trillion trade deficit in 2024</a>, which was largely &#8216;ignored by prior leadership.&#8217; Going on to state that such persistently high deficit levels year after year are an unsustainable crisis and need to be addressed.
The <a href="https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/us-trade-deficit-by-country">countries that drive this deficit</a> include China at $270 billion, and Mexico at $160 billion, followed by Vietnam, Ireland, and Germany at $110 billion, $80 billion, and $76 billion, respectively.
It holds the pernicious economic policies and unfair trade practices of its largest partners responsible for this, highlighting the tariffs charged by countries such as India and Turkey, going as high as 60% on Apples, 70% on passenger car imports, and 80% on rice husks.
The White House says American companies are charged nearly $200 billion in value-added taxes each year by other countries, while the U.S. itself taxes little to nothing, with tariffs mostly ranging from 2.5% to 3.3%.
It further sheds light on several non-tariff barriers that leave U.S.-based companies at a disadvantage, such as Brazil and Vietnam&#8217;s restrictions on remanufactured goods.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Hollowed Out Manufacturing Base &amp; Reshoring</h3>
The fact sheet holds the country&#8217;s long-standing free-for-all trade policy responsible for the erosion of its manufacturing base. It highlights the fact that American manufacturing as a share of global output stood at 28.4% in 2001 but now stands at 17.4%.
In addition to the millions of jobs lost to this shift over the decades, the administration believes that it has left U.S. supply chains vulnerable to global shocks.
The new trade policy emphasizes the importance of reshoring manufacturing, especially in critical sectors such as defense, batteries, microelectronics, and bio-manufacturing.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Blanket Import Tariffs, Reciprocal Tariffs &amp; Exemptions</h3>
To address these challenges and more, the President used his IEEPA authority to impose a blanket 10% tariff on all goods imported into the U.S. from across the world. This is set to go into effect starting from the 5th of April 2025.
Besides this, several reciprocal tariffs are being imposed on countries with which the United States has the highest trade deficit, which is in addition to the 10% baseline. The reciprocal tariffs are set to take effect on the 9th of April 2025. For Canada and Mexico, the existing IEEPA order around fentanyl and immigration remains in effect and is unchanged.
The fact sheet outlines several products exempted from these tariffs, such as copper, pharmaceuticals, and lumber articles, alongside bullion, energy, and minerals unavailable in the United States. Steel, aluminum, auto, and auto parts are exempted, as they are part of a separate tariff order that remains in force.
Here&#8217;s the full list of reciprocal tariffs being imposed on America&#8217;s largest trading partners,

What It Means: The tariffs do have broad implications on the U.S. and global markets, and in addition to a rout in global equity markets, analysts expect it to fuel inflation, while further increasing the risks of a recession. 
America&#8217;s trading partners are expected to respond with countermeasures, which could altogether plunge the global economy into a recession.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Trade With The United States: A &#8216;Privilege&#8217;</h3>
The President unequivocally states &#8216;Access to the American market is a privilege, not a right&#8217; and that the United States will no longer &#8216;put itself last on matters of international trade.&#8217;
According to analysts, however, this move is not without its downsides, as clamping down on the U.S. market privileges of other countries could hurt America&#8217;s biggest privilege of all, &#8216;<a href="https://thespectator.com/topic/could-trump-tariffs-damage-the-us-dollar/">The Dollar Privilege</a>&#8216;. Something that allowed it to run massive deficits and wield unprecedented geopolitical power over the decades.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Global Recession Risk</h3>
Early last month, JP Morgan Research suggested that the risk of a global recession taking hold this year was at 40%, up from 30% at the start of 2025. The analysis laid the blame squarely on the ongoing tariff war and the uncertainties surrounding the same, resulting in negative sentiments.
Now with the tariffs in place, analysts at JP Morgan are all but certain that &#8220;these policies, if sustained, would likely push the U.S. and global economy into recession this year.&#8221;
They further add that this is essentially <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/business/live-news/tariffs-trump-news-04-02-25#cm90qyswp001x3b6nd1mkndo5">a $660 billion tax on American consumers</a>, &#8216;the largest tax increase in recent memory by a longshot.&#8217;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Countermeasures By Trading Partners</h3>
Major U.S. <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44620889/trumps-liberation-day-tariffs-roil-markets-as-china-slams-typical-unilateral-bullying-asian-markets-plunge">trade partners have begun responding to the tariffs</a>, starting with a Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesperson calling it &#8216;typical unilateral bullying&#8217; before urging the U.S. to &#8216;immediately cancel its unilateral tariff measures.&#8217;
Meanwhile, Europe joined in on condemning the tariffs, with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni calling the 20% tariffs imposed on the European Union &#8216;wrong,&#8217; followed by the Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin, who referred to this decision as &#8216;Extremely Unsettling.&#8217;
The Indian Commerce Ministry said that it was still analyzing the impact of the 26% reciprocal tariff, with a senior official quoted as saying &#8216;a mixed bag and not a setback for India.&#8217; The Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, on the other hand, vowed to &#8216;act with purpose and with force.&#8217;

Trump Unveils Massive Tariff Plan to Slash $1.2 Trillion Trade Deficit: 'Access To The American Market Is A Privilege'

New Street Research analyst Pierre Ferragu defended his position on Wednesday that negative publicity surrounding CEO Elon Musk won&#8217;t harm Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) in the medium term.
What Happened: &#8220;Many question our view that &#8216;bad press&#8217; related to Elon will not have a lasting influence on Tesla sales,&#8221; Ferragu wrote on X. &#8220;Elon&#8217;s antics are very unlikely to damage the brand medium term (and they definitely help awareness!!).&#8221;
The analyst shared data showing significant drops in Tesla&#8217;s brand perception during 2022, including a 21-point decline in March and a 17-point drop in November, coinciding with Musk&#8217;s Twitter acquisition. Despite these metrics, Tesla&#8217;s quarterly deliveries grew steadily from 185,000 in the first quarter of 2021 to 485,000 by the fourth quarter of 2023.
Ferragu&#8217;s optimistic assessment comes amid recent challenges for the automaker. Tesla reported approximately 337,000 vehicle deliveries in the first quarter of 2025, falling short of analyst expectations across all major markets. The disappointing results sent shares tumbling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44612478/musk-needs-to-navigate-brand-crisis-or-else-warns-analyst-tesla-delivery-number-was-a-disaster-for-the-bulls">before recovering Wednesday</a>.

Why It Matters: Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives called the figures &#8220;a disaster for the bulls&#8221; while maintaining an Outperform rating with a $550 price target. &#8220;The more political he gets with DOGE, the more the brand suffers, there is no debate,&#8221; Ives said, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44612478/musk-needs-to-navigate-brand-crisis-or-else-warns-analyst-tesla-delivery-number-was-a-disaster-for-the-bulls">referring to Musk&#8217;s role</a> in the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration.
Tesla stock rebounded over 5% in regular session on Wednesday following a Politico report suggesting Musk might <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44617674/tesla-closes-in-green-dips-after-hours-as-musk-denies-ouster-from-trump-administration">step back from his government position in the coming weeks</a>. Musk dismissed the report as &#8220;fake news&#8221; on X, after which shares dipped 8.01% in after-hours trading.
The company&#8217;s stock has fallen as much as 33% since Trump&#8217;s January inauguration, with analysts attributing some decline to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44617674/tesla-closes-in-green-dips-after-hours-as-musk-denies-ouster-from-trump-administration">Musk&#8217;s political activities</a>, including his reported $20 million investment to defeat a Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate and endorsements of far-right parties in Europe.
Price Action: Tesla closed at $282.76 on Wednesday, gaining 5.33% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock declined 8.01% to $260.12.
Tesla stock has outperformed rivals Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) and Lucid Group Inc.

Tesla Brand Won't Suffer From Elon Musk's 'Antics,' Says Analyst Despite Delivery Miss, 8% Stock Drop In After-Hours Trading

Gold prices hit a new all-time high Wednesday as investors sought refuge in the safe haven following President Donald Trump&#8217;s sweeping tariffs that sent risk-on markets falling.
What happened: Spot gold rose 0.46% to $3,148.93 per ounce as of this writing, down slightly from the peak of $3,167 recorded earlier in the day. Gold futures on the Commodity Exchange were up 0.15% to $3,171.&nbsp;

"If $0.16 holds, a rally to $0.57 could follow. If it fails, a drop to $0.06 becomes likely," the analyst projected.
Gold bug and renowned economist Peter Schiff called gold a "true safe haven and store of value," while highlighting the fall of Bitcoin, considered by some as a "digital gold."

Chinese tech giants ByteDance, Alibaba Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), and Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) have reportedly placed over $16 billion in orders for Nvidia Corporation&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) H20 server chips in the first quarter of 2025.
What Happened: ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent are collectively investing billions in Nvidia's H20 server chips, the most advanced AI processor legally available in China under <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44102063/china-strikes-back-at-trumps-tariffs-with-retaliatory-duties-us-company-sanctions-and-wto-showdown">U.S. export restrictions</a>, reported Reuters (<a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/nvidia-faces-dilemma-chinese-firms-rush-order-16-billion-new-ai-chips">via</a> The Information).
The surge in orders comes after the rise of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup known for its affordable AI models that have contributed to the high demand for Nvidia&#8217;s H20 chips.

In January 2025, DeepSeek's AI marvel <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43232316/deepseek-jitters-shatter-us-tech-stocks-wipe-out-12-trillion-on-wall-street-analyst-eyes-four-chinese-giants-set-to-benefit">triggered a major selloff</a> in U.S. tech stocks, causing Nvidia's market value to plunge by $593 billion.
The H20 chips, which were launched after the latest round of U.S. export controls in October 2023, are critical for Chinese firms striving to advance their AI capabilities.

Why It Matters: Last month, reports indicated that Chinese companies were grappling with <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44519562/nvidia-faces-fresh-china-setback-as-chip-shortages-and-sanctions-disrupt-supply">chip shortages due to U.S. sanctions</a>. H3C, a key server manufacturer, highlighted the depletion of Nvidia&#8217;s H20 chip inventory, raising concerns about supply chain disruptions.
Chinese firms are exploring alternatives to reduce reliance on Nvidia. In March, Qingcheng.AI introduced &#8220;Chitu,&#8221; a framework designed to operate on Chinese-made chips, aiming for technological self-sufficiency.
Huawei Technologies has also been advancing <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44488569/chinas-huawei-reportedly-doubles-ai-chip-yields-to-40-now-nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-warns-that-the-chinese-tech-giant-is-the-most-formidable-competitor-despite-us-sanctions">its AI chip capabilities</a>, with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang acknowledging the company's competitive edge.
Despite these challenges, China remains a crucial market for Nvidia, contributing significantly to its revenue. In 2024, Nvidia generated $12 billion in revenue from China, selling twice as many AI chips as Huawei's Ascend 910B.
Price Action: Nvidia's stock has declined 20.16% year-to-date, but over the past 12 months, it has gained 24.12%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings gives Nvidia (NVDA) a 94.90% growth rating.

ByteDance, Alibaba, And Tencent Order $16 Billion Worth Of Nvidia's H20 Chips As Demand Surges For DeepSeek's Low-Cost AI Models: Report

Popular dog-themed cryptocurrency Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) fell Wednesday after President Donald Trump's tariff shock, extending its weekly losses to over 16%.
What Happened: The world's largest meme reversed from the highs of  $0.1787 to the mid-$0.1600 region as the new reciprocal tariff structure exceeded Wall Street's worst-case expectations, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44620222/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-give-up-early-gains-on-trumps-tariff-liberation-day-analyst-flags-levels-where-buying-btc-could-result-in-substantial-gains">sending stocks and cryptocurrencies tumbling</a>.
DOGE has made a sharp U-turn since hitting $0.20 last week, losing more than 16% along the way. The price decline dampened speculative interest in the coin, causing the Open Interest in DOGE futures to fall 24% over the week, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/BitcoinOpenInterest">according </a>to Coinglass.&nbsp;
Moreover, the Long/Short Ratio dipped below 1, indicating that the majority of traders were positioned bearish on the coin.

Why It Matters: Well-known cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez stated that DOGE was at a "make-or-break level."
"If $0.16 holds, a rally to $0.57 could follow. If it fails, a drop to $0.06 becomes likely," the analyst projected.

Moving averages, both exponential and simple, flashed "Sell" signals for DOGE, <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/DOGEUSD/technicals/">according </a>to TradingView.
Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, which compares two exponential moving averages of price, typically a 12-period EMA and a 26-period EMA, generated a "Buy" signal.

Dogecoin Dropped 16% In A Week, Time To Grab Some? Analyst Says Meme King At A 'Make-Or-Break' Level

Global markets reeled on Thursday after President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping new tariffs on imports. China immediately threatened countermeasures, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44620423/trumps-sweeping-tariffs-could-cost-us-20-trillion-crash-markets-warn-economists-monstrously-destructive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Asian markets dropped</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44620423/trumps-sweeping-tariffs-could-cost-us-20-trillion-crash-markets-warn-economists-monstrously-destructive"> sharply on trade war fears</a>.
What Happened: Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44616760/donald-trump-sets-reciprocal-tariffs-on-key-trade-partners-in-historic-policy-shock">announced tariffs on all Chinese imports on Wednesday</a> as part of his &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; reset of American trade policy, calling Apr. 2 &#8220;the day American industry was reborn&#8221; and a &#8220;Declaration of Economic Independence.&#8221;
&#8220;China firmly opposes this and will resolutely take countermeasures to safeguard its own rights and interests,&#8221; a Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesperson said on Thursday, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/business/live-news/tariffs-trump-news-04-02-25/index.html?t=1743651072096">according</a> to CNN. The spokesperson characterized the move as &#8220;typical unilateral bullying&#8221; and urged the U.S. to &#8220;immediately cancel its unilateral tariff measures.&#8221;
Asian markets tumbled in response, with Japan&#8217;s Nikkei 225 plunging 2.95% to 34,673.69. Hong Kong&#8217;s Hang Seng dropped 1.66% to 22,818.18, while South Korea&#8217;s KOSPI fell 1.04% to 2,479.80. Mainland China&#8217;s SSE Composite slid 0.51% to 3,333.10. India&#8217;s Nifty 50 declined 0.58% to 23,196.45.
The tariffs, which take effect Apr. 9, establish a &#8220;reciprocal&#8221; structure set at half the rate Trump claims trading partners impose on American goods. China faces duties of 34%, while Vietnam at 46%, and Sri Lanka at 44%, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44616760/donald-trump-sets-reciprocal-tariffs-on-key-trade-partners-in-historic-policy-shock">face the steepest increases</a>.

Why It Matters: European leaders joined the chorus of criticism. Italy&#8217;s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, typically a Trump ally, called the 20% tariff rate imposed on the European Union &#8220;wrong,&#8221; while Ireland&#8217;s Taoiseach Micheál Martin deemed the decision &#8220;deeply regrettable,&#8221; according <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgql020y5lo">to</a> the BBC.
India&#8217;s commerce ministry is analyzing the impact of the 26% &#8220;discounted&#8221; reciprocal tariff, with a senior official calling it &#8220;a mixed bag and not a setback for India,&#8221; according <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/newsblogs/today-news-live-updates-trump-tariffs-parliament-waqf-bill-myanmar-earthquake-russia-ukraine-news-today-3-april-india-world-news/liveblog/119923704.cms?from=mdr">to</a> The Economic Times. Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, according to Reuters, vowed to &#8220;act with purpose and with force&#8221; in response.
U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44620686/sp-500-nasdaq-futures-plunge-over-3-as-trumps-reciprocal-tariff-plan-hits-market-confidence">futures markets plunged</a> following the announcement, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures erasing nearly 830 points. Economists warned of severe consequences, with former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers estimating potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44620423/trumps-sweeping-tariffs-could-cost-us-20-trillion-crash-markets-warn-economists-monstrously-destructive">economic losses of up to $20 trillion</a>.

Trump's 'Liberation Day' Tariffs Roil Markets As China Slams 'Typical Unilateral Bullying:' Asian Markets Plunge

Sentient, a San Francisco-based AI development lab backed by Peter Thiel's Founder&#8217;s Fund, has unveiled its open-source AI search framework, positioning its work as a response to China's DeepSeek.
What Happened: Sentient released its Open Deep Search (ODS) framework, stating that it outperforms major closed-source competitors like OpenAI's GPT-4o Search Preview and Perplexity Sonar Reasoning Pro, <a href="https://decrypt.co/312580/americas-deepseek-moment-peter-thiel-non-profit">reported</a> Decrypt.
The nonprofit lab argues that its open-source approach challenges the growing control of AI by closed-source corporations. Its ODS achieved a 75.3% accuracy on the FRAMES benchmark, the company said.

Coyote Tests</a>
Sentient co-founder Himanshu Tyagi said that the system requires models to synthesize knowledge from multiple sources, avoiding artificial boosts from preloaded data. To enhance efficiency, traditional &#8220;ground truth&#8221; resources like Wikipedia were intentionally excluded, according to the report.
Why It Matters: The company positioned the release of ODS as America's answer to China&#8217;s DeepSeek. As a nonprofit, Sentient advocates for AI development to be community-driven rather than dominated by closed-source corporations.
DeepSeek's AI breakthrough in late January sparked a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43232316/deepseek-jitters-shatter-us-tech-stocks-wipe-out-12-trillion-on-wall-street-analyst-eyes-four-chinese-giants-set-to-benefit">major selloff in U.S. tech stocks</a>, wiping $593 billion from Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) market value as investors grew concerned about rising competition.

Peter Thiel-Backed Nonprofit Sentient Aims To Be America's DeepSeek, Takes Aim At Closed AI Systems

Tim Stokely, the founder of OnlyFans, and a cryptocurrency foundation have joined forces to place a late-stage bid for the acquisition of TikTok&#8217;s U.S. operations from ByteDance.
What Happened: The bid was put forth this week by Zoop, Stokely&#8217;s latest venture,&nbsp;and the HBAR Foundation, which&nbsp;manages the Hedera (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hbar/usd">HBAR</a>) blockchain network, according to details shared with Benzinga.
The official X account of HBAR also posted a cryptic message with the TikTok logo and reposted media reports about the bid. Zoop didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request for a comment.

&#8220;We are committed to ensuring TikTok&#8217;s U.S. operations remain under American ownership and governance,&#8221; said RJ Phillips, Zoop co-founder and CEO. "Our bid for TikTok isn&#8217;t just about changing ownership—it&#8217;s about creating a new paradigm where both creators and their communities benefit directly from the value they collectively generate.&#8221;
Unlike OnlyFans, which is known for adult entertainment, Zoop is a mainstream content platform that pays both creators and fans.
Hedera is a public blockchain network that allows for the development of decentralized applications on top of it. HBAR lies at the center of the network, helping secure it through staking. 
The network attracted criticism for <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2024/04/24/hederas-hbar-doubles-then-falls-25-as-blackrock-links-diminish">misleading marketing</a> last year after a posting about BlackRock tokenizing a U.S. Treasury money market fund on its blockchain. The announcement sent the token soaring. However, when BlackRock clarified that it was not actively involved in the tokenization process and denied any commercial relationship with Hedera, the token came crashing down.
In March 2023, an attacker <a href="https://hedera.com/blog/analysis-remediation-of-the-precompile-attack-on-the-hedera-network">exploited</a> the smart contract code of the network to transfer Hedera Token Service (HTS) tokens from targeted accounts to their own account, leading to the network being taken offline.
Why It Matters: This bid comes amid a flurry of interest in TikTok. Amazon reportedly <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44613084/amazon-makes-surprise-bid-for-tiktok-amid-us-ban-threat-report">made a last-minute bid</a> to acquire the popular content creation platform in its entirety, just days before the popular video app faces a U.S. ban if it does not sever ties with its Chinese parent company, ByteDance.
