US family visits China counterparts after joyful exchange on RedNote as TikTok refugees

Two families from China and the United States respectively, who became friends on the mainland social media platform RedNote during a potential TikTok ban in January, have met in person in Shanghai.

In January, many US social media users migrated from Tiktok to RedNote, known as Xiaohongshu in China, in reaction to a then looming US ban of the Chinese short video platform.
