Buying TikTok without the algorithm would be akin to acquiring Hulu without the rights to its content, said Columbia Business School professor Jonathon Knee. \u201cIt\u2019s not completely clear what you\u2019re buying,\u201d he explained. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Chinese companies aren\u2019t as attractive as they once were: <\/strong>China\u2019s regulatory crackdowns, coupled with falling company valuations triggered by the country\u2019s economic slowdown, have made acquisitions less tempting for US buyers.
