Zhang Yiming, the co-founder of ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, has ascended to the top spot on China’s rich list. His net worth has surged to $49.3 billion, a 43% increase from the previous year.
TikTok’s global popularity, despite facing regulatory challenges in some countries, has significantly contributed to ByteDance’s success. Despite these hurdles, the company’s profits increased by 60% in the past year.
This rise to the top highlights the dynamism of China’s tech industry. However, the broader economic landscape in China has been less favorable, with a decline in the number of billionaires and a decrease in overall wealth.
While smartphone manufacturers like Xiaomi have seen growth, sectors such as solar energy, lithium batteries, and electric vehicles have faced challenges due to increased competition and market uncertainties.
