▍原文
ByteDance, the Chinese owner of TikTok, has added “Douyin” to the name of several subsidiaries, including one based in Hong Kong, where the unicorn was reportedly considering floating part of its business.
The changes have renewed speculation that ByteDance is planning an initial public offering for Douyin, as separating Douyin’s operation in China from the overseas business of TikTok is seen as a precondition for such a move.
ByteDance declined to comment on Sunday on whether it is currently planning a public listing.
