TikTok plans to launch a program in August to help Chinese merchants sell goods globally, and will officially roll it out first to consumers in the United States, a person familiar with the matter said. Seeking to replicate the success shopping platforms like Shein and PDD Holdings' Temu have had in the U.S., the Chinese-owned short-video platform will provide a suite of services ranging from storage to shipping to merchants in China to help them sell in the U.S., said the source, who declined to be named because the information is not public.
