Arts graduate from US university says migrating social media users should not see China app as simple 'haven' or 'avenue for protest' A Taiwan online celebrity has asked so-called TikTok refugees flooding the Chinese social media app RedNote to make sure they engage properly with the local culture.

Start-ups with Chinese ties have found it increasingly difficult to do business and list shares in the United States.

TikTok’s time in the United States is counting down. But Washington is only the latest government to impose restrictions on the video app.

A change to China’s export rules could give Beijing sign off on any deal that would force the internet giant ByteDance to give up TikTok.

A number of TikTok users appear to be turning to an app called RedNote — more commonly known to its majority-Chinese audience by its Chinese name, Xiaohongshu.

Despite facing a looming ban, ByteDance and the U.S. government have been locked in a proverbial game of chicken, with TikTok’s parent company refusing to divest more than a year later. Lawmakers and experts have long argued that the firm is beholden to the Chinese government, creating security risks for the app’s American users.

As self-described " TikTok refugees" pour onto the Chinese social media app RedNote, also known as Xiaohongshu, some foreign netizens are already running up against the country's extensive censorship apparatus. Newsweek reached out to Xiaohongshu with a request for comment via a general contact email address.

Both leaders were upbeat about the call, with Trump calling it 'a very good one' and Xi saying he and Trump both hoped for a positive start to U.S.-China relations.
