As TikTok faces a ban, at the same time, the Chinese app Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) has surged to the second position in downloads in the U.S. Will Xiaohongshu become the TikTok alternative for Americans, and why?

Banning RedNote won’t need the bruhaha6 that Tiktok is going through. RedNote won’t even bother defending itself. A Presidential EO and practically all US ISPs will fall in line.
