david: ok.nd the current administration, the biden administration, have they said we are going to engage in the same fight or you don't have to worry about that? shouzi: again, we are taking the approach to be very transparent, very engaged and answer any questions they may have. david: the biggest concern people had, or at least people in the trump administration -- and maybe other people -- was that you have on your computers about who is watching what i presume would somehow get fed back to china and china would have it for its use. is that true that your data is something you are forced to give to the chinese government? shouzi: we disagree with that. the way tiktok is set up -- tiktok is not available for download in china. it operates outside of china. the data for tiktok users is stored in virginia and singapore, with the backup in singapore. we believe we have a rigorous and robust system to protect the data security of our users. david: what do you do with the data? let's suppose i go o

david: is this your company? shouzi: yes. david: what do you do for him? look for internet related investments? how many years where you there? shouzi: i was there for about five years. it was during this time that i got to invest in bytedance. david: then what did you do? shouzi: i joined a company where i initially was the cfo, and then ran the global operations for the company. david: so you did that for a while and a headhunter called you up and said, sweat, we want you to come to bytedance, or was it? shouzi: it was not a headhunter. i stayed close with the people from bytedance because of my early relationship with them. that is a little-known fact about me, is that i used to be a creator. i had 185,000 followers on my account. so i have, you know, had to go through the process of learning how to connect with my followers and using the products. and it was amazing. i found the product so amazing in terms of being able to communicate the messages i wanted to my followers. so i love the product. i have known the team for a long time. i think the missio

david: let me ask you this.st of the large technology companies -- let's say alibaba, baidu, tencent -- have gigantic market values and are prominent in china. certainly, not that prominent in the united states. tiktok, by contrast, is not in china, but is gigantic outside china and the united states and everywhere. what did tiktok do that enabled a chinese-based company, parent company at least, to do so well outside of china? shouzi: we think it is challenging to build a global company, in general. but the best ones we have seen so far are are ones that take very consistent global learnings and adapt them to the local countries they are operating in. so you need to be global and local at the same time. it is something we are investing in. for example, here in the u.s. we have a sizable team in new york, austin, and l.a. at this point. becoming more local is something we will continue to invest in. david: let's talk about the beginning of tiktok. what is bytedance? bytedance was the parent company. when was it

david: dr.former president obama tests positive for covid. he's had every possible vaccine and boost era available. isn't it time to rely natural immunity and therapeutics rather than a new booster every month? >> well, yes, to that question, david. i think one of the things they've done is not emphasized the impact of natural immunity from infection as part of the equation, and don't call me cynical on this but albert bor land the ceo of pfizer is saying fourth shot, well the stock price is up 1.25 today, at 1.15 today but i don't think he's doing that to boost sales. i hope not, but here is the science on this , okay? last month, cdc found that you were 78% protected after four months of the third shot. david? only 45% of those eligible have taken the third shot. they aren't going to get people to take a fourth shot. maybe people at high risk. maybe people that are over 70. people that are obese, people are chronic conditions, people that are immunocompromised but they can't be going across th

david: how did you make money?omebody goes on tiktok and they are making money from this restaurant in denver. how do you make any money? shouzi: we make money primarily through advertising and also providing services like livestreaming and e-commerce to our users. we do have a service fee that we charge to provide those services. david: if somebody uploads their video on tiktok, did they pay you a fee? shouzi: no. it is free. david: other companies that specialize in making people tiktok stars? maybe i can sell my services to an advertising company or some way. are there people that polish up people's presentations? shouzi: the way our platform works and my advice to anyone who wants to be famous on our platform is to just be themselves. this community is -- this community once real content. they want to see people being themselves. many people tell me it is a breath of fresh or. it is a sunday corner of the internet. i advised anyone who wants to be famous is to be themselves. ♪ david: so recently, mark zuckerber
