Yes, TikTok was created by the Chinese company Bytedance, by merging their own app with another Chinese app which was popular in the USA. But I'm not sure whether it could be called natural progression just because of its origin. It's a natural direction of progress for all social media-services.

And this is just a version of this for the digital space, in which Chinese apps have more experience and success at the moment.
