> This movement to 小红书 is also, surprise surprise, not some spontaneous movement. The people at 小红书 have intentionally be working on becoming a TikTok replacement for awhile now.

They completely revamped the UX from being essentially an instagram clone focusing on pictures and written content, to increasingly a tiktok clone focusing on browseable short form video?

Are you going to need similar evidence if I claim that YouTube has been working on being a TikTok replacement as well? It's pretty clear that YouTube created the "shorts" feature as an attempt to allow TikTok creators to trivially repost content.

Considering the TikTok UI is a clone of 抖音's UI, it's more likely that 小红书 copied 抖音 rather than TikTok. 小红书's primary market has always been China and overseas Chinese, foreigners were an afterthought up until this past week.
