This is 100% bullshit. I’ve used Douyin and it’s just the same as TikTok, and even if I haven’t, anyone with surface familiarity with human nature would know there won’t be a social media network without dancing and “bad influences”. Now, Douyin literally means trembling/dancing musical notes, guess where it got started?
Douyin does have a “youth mode” where supposed bad influences are more limited. It’s opt-in however, and through talking to actual Chinese teenagers I gathered that nobody uses it, because guess what, teenagers like the “fun” content. Enabling this youth mode is actually a prank they pull on friends.
Also, search for posts from Chinese parents trying to block Douyin on their router, you’ll find a ton. Guess why?
Normally I would chalk things up to differing perspectives, but your claim here about “all good positive influences” is so absurd I have to conclude you’re straight up lying.
I want an actual source, an actual study.

So no I dont buy the CCP is bad and the US is good.
why are you advocating chicoms get special privileges to be let in without proving they're good relative to us having to do the same in china?
