TikTok ban support rate drops again, e-commerce breakthrough path under the game between China and the United States

Winds Rising and Clouds Surging: The Shadow of the Ban Dissipates, Public Opinion Quietly Shifts

Recently, the Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research released a new survey report, showing that the proportion of Americans supporting a Tuke ban continues to decline, dropping from 38% at the end of last year to 31% now, while the proportion opposing the ban has risen to 35%. This indicates that American public perception of Tuke is subtly changing, and the shadow of the ban is gradually dissipating.

Although 60% of American adults are still concerned about teenagers being addicted to Tuke, compared to only 18% of American teenagers supporting the ban in a Pew Research Center survey at the end of last year, the younger generation's attitude towards Tuke is clearly more positive.

To address public concerns, Tuke has actively taken measures, such as setting viewing time limits for minors and cooperating with global fact-checking organizations to combat misinformation. These initiatives demonstrate Tuke's sense of responsibility and lay the foundation for gaining more support in the US market.

Riding the Waves: E-commerce Business Poised for Growth, Tapping into the US Market

As the world's second largest e-commerce market, the US has more than 113 million Tuke users, highlighting its importance. With a keen understanding of this, Tuke officially launched Tuke Shop in the US last September, beginning its exploration of a fully closed-loop e-commerce business.

From large-scale merchant recruitment to strengthening logistics, and then sprinting for Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotions, Tuke Shop has continuously increased its investment in the US market and achieved phased results: by the end of 2023, daily GMV exceeded $14 million.

In 2024, Tuke Shop set an ambitious goal at the beginning of the year, planning to expand its business scale to $17.5 billion, ten times that of last year. To achieve this goal, Tuke Shop has increased its investment in the US market, planning to open multiple offline live streaming studios in the US to provide creators with a good live streaming environment, and to work with brands and advertising companies to jointly promote the development of live-streaming e-commerce.

Future Outlook: Riding the Waves, Exploring a New Blue Ocean in E-commerce

There is no doubt that the US e-commerce market is fiercely competitive, with established giants like Amazon and Walmart having years of accumulated strength, and emerging players like Temu eyeing the market. To gain a firm foothold in the competition, Tuke Shop needs to continuously improve its innovation capabilities and service quality.

With declining support for the ban and the rapid development of its e-commerce business, Tuke is ushering in new opportunities in the US market. In the future, Tuke Shop will continue to cultivate the US market, innovate constantly, and win users' favor with high-quality services and experiences, opening up its own blue ocean in e-commerce.
