it's called Douyin. It's the same product, the same way a Mexican Coke is the same thing as an American Coke, and both are produced by the same company (Coca Cola).

It’s a similar product. We don’t have any server-side code so we don’t know.

The analogy to Coca Cola? Let me make another comparison: the 737 Max with one AoA sensor was made by the same company that only sold the one with two in America.

Mexican Coke is different though. It doesn't use HFCS.

Except your analogy breaks as they are not the same product.

No, buddy, they're not. If two products have the same name but different ingredients, they are categorically not the same product.

You chose a bad analogy, that's all.

Yes it does. The US product called Mexican Coke doesn't, but Coke in Mexico does.

It would be more like Coke was Mexican owned and HFCS was outlawed in Mexico. Then Mexican Coke used sugar and the Coke they exported to America used HFCS. And America said, hey, you're not consuming the same Coke you send here: we're going to ban you if you don't sell to us and our plan is to keep making HFCS Coke once we buy you. You were also hurting Pepsi (Facebook/Twitter), who also only plan on ever using HFCS.
