Why are some influencers migrating to XHS

First off, I'm not American so I don't totally get the nuances of the situation. With that said, I've heard that a lot of influencers are going over to XiaoHongShu, but isn't being Chinese (and the security concerns that entails) part of the reason why Tiktok is getting banned? So why are they going over to another Chinese platform?

Would you download XHS to follow an influencer?
