Zhang Yiming said it "feels like" the US government's goal is "not necessarily a forced sale" of TikTok, "but given the current macro situation, a ban or even more," according to a translation of the memo sent to China-based employees provided by the company.

London (CNN Business)The Trump administration may want to do even more than just ban TikTok, the CEO of the popular app's parent company wrote in a memo to employees Tuesday.

This helps us win trust around the world with users, and also helps people better understand our complex and unique story as a global company with Chinese founders," Zhang wrote.

US government officials have repeatedly expressed concern that TikTok could pose a threat to national security should the data it collects on its American users end up in the hands of the Chinese government.

Zhang did not directly address the talks with Microsoft, instead focusing on thanking employees for enduring a wave of criticism he and the company had received on social media in recent days.
