TikTok, an application originally developed by Chinese technical team of ByteDance, is a social platform which aims at offering short video clips for entertaining the public, including some short dance, lip-sync, comedy, and talent videos.

After entering the China market in September 2016, subsequently, in 2017, TikTok also released on iOS and Android platforms, starting to invade the oversea markets outside of China. As it merged with another service, Musical.ly in 2018, TikTok began to be available in United States as well.

 
 
TikTok wins a very good score in the oversea market. As of 2018, TikTok has been available in more than 150 global markets, and was translated into 75 languages for users speaking different languages to have a convenient usage.
