Can, practically speaking, European governments enforce GDPR with ByteDance?


Yes. ByteDance does business in Europe and therefore is subject to EU law.

Legally, yes. Practically, I’m not sure the EU could block a major Chinese app from its market for fear of retaliation.



They just have to give it a massive fine. Then they can block it for failure to pay.


In practice they can't even be bothered to enforce it on EU and US companies so this is a lost cause.
