As Supreme Court justices ponder the future of TikTok in the United States, a growing number of American social media users have responded by moving to an unlikely alternative: Xiaohongshu, a hugely popular social media app in China.

TikTok may be banned in the U.S. over the weekend, but Americans are heading to another Chinese-owned video platform: RedNote.

As the potential ban on TikTok, a cultural sensation, approaches, here’s what you need to know about Xiaohongshu and other apps that social media users are considering.

Analysts are predicting that a recent surge of Americans flocking to the Chinese social media platform RedNote - also known as Xiaohongshu - could be short-lived, as users soon find its content regulations differ sharply from those on TikTok US.

Chinese-made social media apps Xiaohongshu and Lemon8 have soared to the top two spots on Apple’s iPhone download charts in the U.S., as users look for alternatives to TikTok ahead of an imminent ban stateside.

BEIJING (Reuters) -Chinese social media app RedNote has been thrust into the limelight after more than half a million TikTok users recently joined the platform in protest against a likely imminent ban on the short video app in the United States.

With a TikTok ban looming, some users are scrambling to find a new destination for trending videos. The idea to ban the short-form video app because of security concerns tied to its Beijing-based owner initially came up during Donald Trump’s first term as president.
