A panel of federal judges on Monday made pointed remarks that called TikTok’s legal arguments into question, in a landmark case that could determine whether the Chinese-owned video app survives in the country.

The hearing, before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, lasted roughly two hours. Three judges asked probing questions of both TikTok and the government about an April law that forces ByteDance, the app’s owner, to sell TikTok to a non-Chinese company before Jan. 19 or face a ban in the United States. The lawyers have asked the judges to deliver a decision in the case before Dec. 6, and legal experts anticipate the losing party will appeal to the Supreme Court.
