Chinese social media app RedNote, known in China as Xiaohongshu, gained nearly 3 million U.S. users in one day earlier this week as a flood of self-proclaimed “TikTok Refugees” joined, according to new data from analytics firm Similarweb.
The Chinese-language app had about 3.4 million daily active users across both iOS and Android devices in the United States as of Monday, up from fewer than 700,000 the day prior, and around 300,000 the week prior, according to the Similarweb estimate.
The influx of users has been driven by a looming U.S. ban on TikTok, used by 170 million Americans, on national security concerns.
The data suggests an even larger shift to RedNote by U.S. users this week than was previously known, explaining its dramatic rise to the top of U.S. app store download rankings. Reuters reported on Tuesday that more than 700,000 new users had joined the app in only two days.
Meanwhile, U.S. usage of TikTok declined ahead of the ban, down 2.1% week over week to about 82.2 million daily active users, Similarweb said.
Then let’s talk about the brutal assault and suppression of the pro Palestinian protests last summer. On public property, assaulted by agents of the state, hundreds arrested and charged with felonies for speaking their mind, threatened constantly by public officials, laws made to criminalize criticism of the client state of Israel. Or the hundreds of journalists, veterans, and protestors assaulted for daring to speak out against the current regime during press conferences and rallies. Just today, multiple journalists were assaulted during a press conference with Blinken.
97% peaceful and lawful.

Any other agendas you want to push because you are factually wrong about this one.
Yes indeed, the protests were peaceful. The violence against the protests by police and Zionists wasn’t though. In my own state, hundreds of protestors were arrested and charged with felony RICO law violations for soliciting donations to maintain the protest.
That’s not a rico law violation…
I agree, but it didn’t prevent them being charged with it, which got them off the campus and made them get legal help and bail money until eventually the charges were dropped. It was a transparent effort to charge them with anything/something heavy and scary just to get them off the street and into the legal system, sapping their time and energy.
Show me where a protestor was charged with RICO. That did not happen.
You have lied about chinese and american child labor. You have lied about the amount of violent protests. You have lied about rico charges. Is there anything you say that’s factually truthful? Is this what china supporters do?
