Americans are joining the Chinese social media app en masse to protest an imminent TikTok ban.

  • American users have flocked to Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu in defiance of security warnings.
  • Chinese and American users have engaged in surprisingly friendly conversations about each other’s lives.
  • The influx of American users could burden Xiaohongshu’s censorship mechanism, experts say.

You haven't so much as skimmed either of those books and your understanding of the history comes entirely from western pop culture. You are not a serious person.

A lot of assumptions and not a single argument.

You are not a serious person

Never heard that expression. Is it a direct translation from Chinese? Odd thing to say repeatedly.

If you had so much as read a summery of both, or even like just opened either to a random place and read a few paragraphs, you would immediately understand why those are solid assumptions from what you've said.

But even now, instead of taking the most basic steps to educate yourself, you're fortifying a position of ignorance.
