Hi, I'm Becky Quick, co-host of Squawk Box, and this is five things you need to know before today's opening bell.

First up, an official survey showing that China's manufacturing activity actually contracted for a third consecutive month in June.

That comes despite the country's stimulus efforts trying to help stabilize certain aspects of the industrial sector.

President Trump teasing a potentially big development in the TikTok ownership saga,

the president telling Fox News that he has a group of, in his words, very wealthy people ready to buy the short form video app,

and that he can reveal their identities in about two weeks, although Trump

did add that the deal will probably need China's approval. Court filings show that the Department

of Justice has settled its lawsuit challenging Hewlett-Packard Enterprises $14 billion all-cash

acquisition of Juniper networks. Tesla says it has completed its first driverless delivery of a new car.

The company's ex-account posting a video showing what it said was a model Y driving on public

roads Friday in Austin, Texas, straight to a customer. And Warren Buffett making a massive

charitable contribution, he is donating $6 billion worth of his

company's stock to five foundations. The largest portion is going to the Bill and Melinda Gates

Foundation, Trutch, which will receive more than 9 million shares. Since 2006, Buffett's total

charitable give exceeds $60 billion. We'll be back later today with Squawk Pod, our daily podcast featuring the best of Squawk

Box.
