> TikTok users who use the Chinese version

The what now? There are no Chinese nationals using TikTok. It's banned there. Like it's now banned in the US.

Douyin is TikTok. Before all the drama started, it was the same software powered by most of the same backend servers.

Douyin is a fundamentally different product. Different content, less addictive, etc.

Approximately zero people outside of China use Douyin.

If you are in Brazil or the Philippines or Germany, you're using TikTok.
