Well so I am sure you have seen how that app is actually linked to mainland China and so the company is being forced by the Chinese Government to separate the two because it goes through the Great Firewall. China doesn't want any sorta random crazy idea like freedom to criticize people to make it through!
Sorry I'm a little lost, which app are you referring to? Because of course Xiaohongshu is linked to mainland China. Its a Chinese app for Chinese people that doesn't even have English translation support. Its so interesting watching people jump from tiktok over to Xiaohongshu, and yes it is as you would expect heavily censored and yet "tiktok refugees" are still using it.
We'll see how long that lasts though.

So almost all apps available in the US are not connected to Mainland China due to the Great Firewall. This has become an issue in the eyes of Chinese Officials who have ordered the company to do what Bytedance did and essentially create a Chinese Mainland version and an international version.

Interesting. Wonder if that then becomes a constant war of Americans trying to get on native Chinese apps which come out with international versions that then get banned in the US or if Americans will just give up lmao.
My guess is Americans (by that I mean the social media addicts) give up.
