How to use TikTok in China?  I'll tell you


To know how to use Tuke in China, you first need to understand why Tuke cannot be used in China. The developer of Tuke is ByteDance, the creator of the well-known domestic short video app Douyin. The purpose of developing Tuke was to expand into overseas markets, replicating the successful and mature operating model of Douyin abroad to achieve success in overseas markets.

So, how could such a Tuke be used domestically? The official team will inevitably set various restrictions in the app's source files to prevent overlap between domestic and overseas users. Restrictions on domestic carriers are one example; not only can you not use domestic mobile networks, but you also cannot use WIFI networks. Therefore, if you want to use Tuke in China, the first issue to solve is the network problem.

My suggestion is to use a foreign SIM card for internet access. Only when the operating environment matches that of overseas can the Tuke app function properly.
