the app people are going to instead of TikTok is RedNote which is only built with the Chinese language. so some people are trying to learn Chinese to navigate the app.

To talk to the people much more than just navigating the app, they want to meaningfully engage and be accessible to the chinese people because it's their app meant for actual chinese people.
