A forced sale of TikTok within 180 days, as House-passed legislation requires, would be one of the thorniest and most complicated transactions in corporate history, posing financial, technical and geopolitical challenges that experts said could render a sale impractical and increase the likelihood the app will be banned nationwide. A sale would require severing a company worth potentially $150 billion from its technical backbone while being the subject of legal challenges and resistance from China.
