No, TikTok is not banned in China. TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, is a Chinese company, and in China, a separate version of the app called Douyin is available and widely used. However, the international version of TikTok, which is operated by a different entity and has different content and features, is not accessible within mainland China without the use of virtual private networks (VPNs) or other methods to bypass internet restrictions.
It’s important to note that there are differences in content and access between the Chinese version (Douyin) and the international version (TikTok), as they are designed to comply with respective regulations and cater to different audiences.
