No representatives from ByteDance were present at the signing, and the company hasn’t acknowledged that a transaction is taking place. No purchase price was mentioned, and there’s no indication that the Chinese government has made changes to laws that would be necessary for a deal to take place.

That’s what I don’t get. What does an executive order about this even mean. I haven’t heard anything from the owners about this. Or is this just blocking the name and getting their app in its place.
