The news comes via Hu Xijin, the editor of the Global Times and prominent CCP mouthpiece on Twitter.
Based on what I know, Beijing won't approve current agreement between ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, and Oracle, Walmart, because the agreement would endanger China's national security, interests and dignity. — Hu Xijin 胡锡进 (@HuXijin_GT) September 21, 2020
Ironically, Beijing is claiming that the deal would harm its "national security interests," which is exactly the same reason given by Trump for trying to shut TikTok down. It looks like the battle over majority ownership is what officially sunk the deal, though the Global Times didn't delve into specifics.

Not controlled by the powers that be. So it could be a free speech platform and that is dangerous.
Just like Assange and Epstein and Snowden are dangerous.
The chinese "principles" of theft of intellectual property, currency manipulation, the latest pandemic coverup, to name just a few international transgressions, is already well known world wide.
TikTok = Porn site for children
When my daughter lived in China it was the only way to talk to them. Of course we knew we were being listen to. We pretty much knew the aye was watching us as she cleaned and cooked. And the driver took us every where so they knew exactly where we were.
The NYT should be at the top of his list, so what of it.
America has a Constitutional defense of a Free Press. Where is it?
The NYT wants to cripple Donald Trump and his supporters. Why?
Like a stopped clock, the NYT is right on this.
Hey idiot NYT, it’s because China is harvesting the data is why, see?

My daddy just deployed to Guam to command an air wing.
See how this works folks?
Four anonymous sources told him they are national security threats.
Is that a good reason the NYT will to accept as true and without question?
And having 'camps' and other goodies. Yet the trade deal is still good and fine. Odd.
The nytimes is very willing to sacrifice our safety to benefit the chicoms. chicoms are giving big bucks to biden’s campaign because he will reward them big time. Also, the nytimes hates Trump and everything he does.
> But I’d like to think we’re better than that.
Spoken like a true nutless douchebag.
Yes, Trump is complicit either knowingly or not. Maybe he just needs to go along to get the money to get reelected. That’s the optimist in me.
