Socialism is when the government does stuff. The more stuff it does, the more socialist it is. And when it does a real lot of stuff, that's communism.

They aren't banned. Their owner ByteDance is banned from owning them.

(TikTok is banned in China though, so it'd be fair if they were banned.)

Anyway, Chinese communism doesn't ban competitors.
