The US ban on TikTok, a decision tied to Trump-era policies, has led thousands of Americans to switch to a new Chinese app, Xiaohongshu, known as RedNote in the West.
As TikTok prepares to shut down, frustrated users have flocked to RedNote, with over 700,000 new sign-ups in just two days.
Dubbed “TikTok Refugees,” these users are now exploring Chinese humor, culture, and compliments on the app, creating unique interactions between American and Chinese communities.
The move has sparked debates, jokes, and even friendships, showing how social media continues to connect people worldwide.
