Are Weibo and Xiaohongshu used widely outside of China? Given the names alone I'd imagine their adoption is fairly limited to China.

Xiaohongshu is generally known as RedNote outside of China.

To directly answer the question, Rednote is not generally used outside China, and the point about these apps being representative of "global" social media apps is false.

Which is honestly weird. It's Little Red Book, not Red Note, in reference to Mao's little red book.

Xiaohingshu is widely used outside China... by Chinese.

My experience in the UK is that the whole Chinese community is on it for anything (discussions, classifieds...) instead of Facebook, Insta, etc.

Looks like it's getting a lot of TikTik refugees now

Yeah, if "widely used" means that multiple nations and cultures use the service, then they are not widely used.
