RedNote is an app similar to Tiktok but actually owned by the Chinese Government.

This appears to be a publicly traded company based in China. But it isn't owned by the Chinese Government any more than Facebook or Twitter is owned by the American government.

Facebook and Twitter more accurately own the American government. Or at least their oligarch owners own the American government.
