TikTok challenges, if you look for them on YouTube.

The TikTok challenges are a casualty of the US-China trade war. If you have never heard of them, here is a sample:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4td_8PbVf1w

For these challenges:

* The challengers do NOT have to be Chinese, BUT they had to be in China, and obviously they have to be TikTok users.

* The rewards for some of the challenges are really nice, like credits for shopping and/or restaurants in China, paid vacations to the US or Europe, etc.

* Anyone in China can join the challenge, but I have never seen seen any White people in China (expats/tourists/whatever) participate in this or any other TikTok challenge, even though they could have - and IMO White girls would have a good chance of winning one of the dance challenges if they had just submitted.

* An important rule for this particular TikTok challenge was the dance had to be performed by a group of at least four people, so solo dancers or a dance group of less than four were not eligible, (so they did not even bother reading the rules.)

* For this particular challenge, "Shine Like Superstars", a group of four Chinese girls in Hunan ended up winning, although their clip is not included in this video.

* IMO users voted for them to be the winner not because they could dance, but because they were the prettiest. So guys did not even stand a chance.

* Actually, I do not remember ever seeing any guys ever winning a TikTok challenge, (unless it was a couple or mixed-gender challenge.) Even male users overwhelmingly voted for girls to win in every challenge. Then again, I have been checking out these TikTok challenge videos to check out the girls.

Here, another challenge - the "Every Color" challenge - I think this is the currently on-going or the last challenge:

A couple other collection videos of various dance challenges:

Back in early 2017, TikTok was going to bring these challenges to America. The weekly/monthly challenges and rewards would be separate and specific in the US. However, the plan has since been suspended/scrapped due to the trade tension and trade war between China and the U.S. So the TikTok challenges became a casualty of the US-China trade war.

Isn't a thread like this already made?

Well, my favorite videos have either been taken down, probably would be taken down if they ever drew enough attention, or would violate the rules here if I posted them.
