    For now, the sector’s focus has shifted back to domestic, Mandarin-language channels and platforms like Bilibili, WeChat, and Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok.

    Wait did I miss something? I thought TikTok was the chinese version of TikTok?

      Douyin is the localised version of Tiktok. So, the content is totally different. similar to Steam China and Steam International.

          It used to be much less brainrot and doomscroll filled on their version. When people from the west noticed that they started calling tiktok a form of psychological warfare. I think its almost as bad there now but ofcourse still much more censored.

            Fun fact back in the days the same was said about Tetris (though tongue in cheek).
