In apartheid South Africa, I was classified as "European". But my family has been in South Africa since 1688.

I don't think ByteDance is going to sell, or the Chinese government would permit it.
The company will suffer a dip, like Huawei did, but will flourish again, like Huawei is.
The world doesn't revolve around the USA.

Musk isn't a South African citizen any more. He lost that when he became a foreign citizen.
You send him to Canada. He's also always been a Canadian citizen.
