“…In fact, on Douyin, not only do the public expressions of health issues related to the COVID-19 vaccination have an obvious tendency towards narration and nationalism, due to the platform characteristics of Douyin and the characteristics of the Chinese cultural context, some studies on the expressions of other health issues, such as sexual orientation or wearing masks, also have similar findings [88][89][90]. The important role of narrative and nationalism in the public's expression of health issues can be found not only on the Douyin platform, but also on other Chinese social media platforms, such as Zhihu, Weibo, and WeChat [91][92][93].…”

Scholars are divided over whether narrative/storytelling occupies a central position in health-related behaviour or in the health-related issues discussed on social media platforms. This study explored Chinese COVID-19 vaccination expressions on Douyin, China’s biggest short-video sharing social media platform, and found that narration is still the most important tool employed by Chinese users when talking about COVID-19 vaccinations on Douyin, emphasizing nationalism and widespread optimism. Most of the narratives employed by Chinese users come from a first-person perspective. Nationalism, as manifested in the support expressed for national policies, rather than the external platform characteristics of memetics, makes the Chinese users’ expressions about COVID-19 vaccinations similar on Douyin. Douyin seems to have become a ‘pilgrimage platform’ for the Chinese public to express their patriotic sentiment and their trust in the country and the government.

“…While China's sports-governing body does not implement restrictions on trans athletic participation outside of the IOC's framework (NBC, 2022), the misunderstanding of trans people as sexual deviants still subjects them to the most severe, blatant discrimination (Chiang, 2017). As globalisation becomes internalised in postreform China, the celebration of sexual desires and the diversification of gender identities are often perceived as global constructs associated with the increased Sino-Western cultural exchanges (Tang et al, 2021). Against this backdrop, anti-trans sentiments have the potential to feed into nationalist rhetoric, pointing towards the pro-regime Chinese masses' rejection of liberal-progressive values, which are considered to be the West's ideological weapon aiming to destabilise their nation-state (Zhang, 2020).…”

“…Existing scholarship on TikTok mainly examines its entertainment functions (e.g., Zhang 2021;Tang et al 2021), social media/networking functions (e.g., Yang 2022;Yang and Ha 2021), or its education functions (e.g., Logrieco et al 2021). So far, little attention has been paid to the citizenry function of TikTok.…”

Following its debut in China, TikTok has become the first short video platform to gain global popularity. The world’s obsession with TikTok can be attributed to its creative methods for content generation and dissemination. These attributes heralded the arrival of a new era in which, with the rise of grassroots creators on short video platforms, cultural production and consumption have been profoundly changed. Through examining Douyin (the Chinese version of TikTok), this study delves into the important but under-investigated consensus-building function of TikTok/Douyin to unveil how social media can be used to create a citizens’ platform for unity and cohesion. TikTok has led a new generation of global culture not through content innovation but through technology innovation; this has improved China’s soft power through strengthening its digital power. This paper provides insights onto the role of digital innovation in national discourse.
