Bubble analysis
This news is not strongly related to the AI investment bubble, as it mainly concerns ByteDance's business exploration rather than direct capital expenditure or valuation figures. Although it may affect the AI industry landscape, it lacks specific financial numbers, so its reference value for bubble assessment is limited.
