China should be next and IIRC it was reported last year that they were waiting to see what EC does, alongside the fact that Tencent supports the deal, I see China approving it next.

Australia may be a wildcard since they've very clearly been delaying constantly to wait for someone else, I think there's a decent chance they'll side with UK and New Zealand is waiting on Australia.

I see the rest of the world approving the deal.

If the merger does actually get extended then Microsoft will beat FTC in court and it'll literally be only UK acting like a global regulator whilst the rest of the world approves of the deal, from regulators to those in the market, Lol.
