US TikTok Users Flock to Chinese App RedNote Ahead of Potential Ban
ai generated text
American users, referring to themselves as "TikTok refugees", have been signing up for the Chinese social media app RedNote in large numbers, despite the app being heavily censored. This surge in users comes as the US Supreme Court is set to rule on a law requiring TikTok to divest from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, by January 19, with a nationwide ban on TikTok potentially following if the law is upheld.
This development should not be viewed primarily as a risk but as a rare opportunity. Our initial response should be to welcome TikTok refugees into China's Xiaohongshu with an open mindset rather than being intimidated by the overwhelming wave of 'refugees,'
