    For now, the sector’s focus has shifted back to domestic, Mandarin-language channels and platforms like Bilibili, WeChat, and Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok.

      Douyin is the localised version of Tiktok. So, the content is totally different. similar to Steam China and Steam International.
