Because the USA strong armed them into giving their platform handling to Oracle Corp, a top tier US govt contractor.

But since pro-palestine cries can’t be silenced on TikTok as easily as Zio media, taking control of the platform is no longer enough

No, it’s literally a different app in China.

  It’s the same thing, the international one was called TikTok and the US version is handled by Oracle

    Maybe it says something that China limits access to kids
    
    In 2019, Douyin limited users in teenager mode to 40 minutes per day, accessible only between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Then, in 2021, it made the use of teenager mode mandatory for users under 14.
    
    Seems like a bit of a digital smallpox blanket.
