2. TikTok Global is merged with Douyin, i.e. there is one TikTok for World ex US;
No, that won’t happen. Dogging is only for Chinese market. So it’s a domestic TikTok walled off in China only. Plus Chinese regulators ad censorship will never work with TikTok global. In fact it would lead to the collapse of TikTok since most global users are not used to the level of censorship in China so many will move away from the app. So it’s better to keep Douyin’s China’s TikTok walled off in China only and let TikTok global function independently more freely abroad . In short, keep the status quo the way it is, no need to change the current setup .
The only way your method will work is if the Chinese government reviews/reforms her internet and censorship rules which we all know is almost impossible in our life time. So it’s better for TikTok to keep the current status quo.

Yet Xiaohongshu is fully compliant with Chinese requirements but is open for cross registration.

The censorship doesn't matter if the content is good enough and by how often Douyin memes get moved to TikTok but never the reverse, we all know which side has better content.
