Once Mitchell had finished speaking, Wang Yi asked him, "How are the negotiations with TikTok going?"
Mitchell replied, "I'm not just negotiating with TikTok. I'm also negotiating your streaming contract with Huya and Douyu at the same time, Brother Yi."
Wang Yi asked, "Didn't you say we were only negotiating with TikTok?"
