BEIJING: ByteDance Ltd’s TikTok is in talks to invest into a unit of Indonesia’s GoTo Group, one of several options the Chinese company is weighing to try and restart its online shop in its biggest e-commerce market.

Instead of a direct investment, the deal could take the form of a joint venture between the two firms, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified as the information is private.
