Xiaohongshu, often referred to as China's Instagram, had a user base in 2020 where 70% of the users were born after 1990,[3][4] and nearly 70% of them were women. In January 2025, the app saw a significant increase in American users following the expected shutdown of TikTok's U.S. operations. This shutdown was part of PAFACA, a federal law enacted in April 2024 and upheld by the Supreme Court in January 2025.[1][5]
FeaturesEdit
Users can share, search, and save product reviews and travel destination guides. These guides, often called "grass-planting" notes (Chinese: 种草, which means "sharing and recommending a product"),[6] also allow users to buy and sell goods.[7][8][9]
SearchEdit
Rednote, AKA Xiaohongshu, which focuses on lifestyle topics, has gained a competitive edge over traditional Chinese search engines. This has led to its reputation as a National Lifestyle Guide[10] and a new generation search engine. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the platform recorded nearly 60 crores daily search queries, which is half of Baidu's and has doubled from the previous year.[11]
In January 2025, Xiaohongshu is introducing Diandian, an AI-powered search tool, which is currently in beta testing.[12]
