Can't confirm as I don't speak Chinese but Sharp China podcast says this is a mistranslation, and that the word for Mao's little red book is not the same as the Chinese name for Rednote

If Wikipedia is to be believed, the Chinese nickname is “Treasured Red Book.” It’s just a coincidence that the English nickname happens to match the literal translation of this app’s name. Still hilarious.
