The US House of Representatives passed a Bill on March 13 that would give TikTok’s Chinese owner ByteDance about six months to divest the US assets of the short-video app used by about 170 million Americans or face a ban.

What will happen to TikTok if the US bans the app? Who will be the potential buyers  lining up to take over the social media company? Could the ban fuel Meta's advertising dominance, and how will Google and YouTube also stand to benefit?

Pushan Dutt, Professor of Economics, INSEADweighs in.

Washington Report: Will the US ban TikTok? Who could buy the app from China’s ByteDance?

Historically dominated by the rich ‘boys’ club’ for the longest time, the luxury watch space is finally opening up to women with a fascination for mechanical timepieces.

According to Deloitte’s 2023 Swiss Watch Industry Study, “the untapped potential of the female watch-buyer is significant.”

The consultancy cited self-purchasing and more female watch influencers on social media as strong drivers of demand. 

We sit down with two avid watch collectors who are looking to capture the spirit of this exciting moment.

Deborah Wong and Stephanie Soh, co-founders, TickTock Belles tell us how the watch world can build off this female-powered momentum.
