TikTok’s Grilling & Europe’s Banking Contagion 03/24/23

Lawmakers grilled TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew on data, the platform’s relationship with Chinese owner Bytedance, and content moderation. Stanford University Geopolitics and Technology Adviser Jacob Helberg recaps the vitriol in DC and suggests that TikTok served merely as a placeholder for all Chinese companies operating in the U.S. CNBC’s Steve Kovach explains the stakes for Apple CEO Tim Cook’s trip to China this weekend, in light of the pressure on TikTok on Capitol Hill this week. European banks are fighting contagion; former Federal Reserve official Dino Kos discusses the global rate hikes righting inflation and the pressure on Deutsche Bank, Barclays, Societe Generale, UBS, and others. Squawk makes sense of AT1s, credit default swaps, CDs, and more. Plus, some streaming recommendations for your weekend!
