ByteDance, the Chinese tech company that owns TikTok, has released a public update to its corporate structure days before TikTok's CEO is set to appear in Washington to answer lawmakers' questions about the social media app's data practices and its ties to China's government.
A new chart posted on the ByteDance website depicts the various corporate entities within the organization, along with the global locations in which they're incorporated. The chart, titled "Corporate Structure," shows TikTok Ltd as one of seven subsidiaries of the Cayman islands-based ByteDance Ltd.
