About Me

Zhang Yiming is the main cofounder of Chinese tech giant ByteDance, best known for its insanely popular app TikTok, which has more than 1 billion users worldwide. It also has interests in e-commerce, education, gaming and news. Zhang stepped down as chairman of ByteDance in 2021 after resigning as CEO earlier that year, reportedly under pressure from the Chinese government. The company continues to operate TikTok in the U.S. as it keeps winning reprieves from an earlier ban. Zhang started ByteDance in 2012 in a four-bedroom Beijing apartment.
