The CEO and co-founder of TikTok’s owner ByteDance has announced he will step down and transition to a new role by the end of the year.
In a letter to employees, Zhang Yiming said he will be succeeded by fellow co-founder Rubo Liang.
The move marks the biggest shake-up at the Chinese technology giant since its launch almost a decade ago.
TikTok’s popularity has helped it become a global sensation but has also drawn scrutiny.
