Douyin is the Chinese TikTok equivalent. China isn't opposed to the concept of short form video, they just want to segregate Chinese users into their own app

Douyin also doesn't allow nearly as much brainrot as you see on tiktok, and definitely doesn't allow anything that challenges the CCP.

Yes, but it's irrelevant - Apple and Google refuse to allow Douyin on the iOS and Google Play stores, as of writing (and I do not see this changing)
