BEIJING (Reuters) - ByteDance's Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, said on Friday it had received a request from Tencent to allow short videos, based on Tencent's copyrighted films and TV shows, to be shown on Douyin.
Tencent's move meets the requirement from Chinese regulators to create an open internet, Douyin said in a statement, adding "we are pleased that Tencent's copyrighted content can be shared on Douyin".
