If this leads to Chinese protests and pressure for Xi to liberate the US, this will be the funniest result of TikTok's ban.

They also limit screen/game time, which I support as a parent to avoid creating a tablet kid. And they also don't allow certain political topics, that I think some non far left would support. It's interesting, there seems to be something for everyone to like about it.
We need to list out the shocking facts as a center piece for our own posts. Someone wanna drop some literacy rates on them? Or how about legal segregation for private schools!
Bit idea: chinese incels moving to Utah because of this
Yee-haw, ~~mingze~~ my name is Chan-Bama.
I’m a 27 year old Chinese Latter-day Saints ("Mormon" for you gentiles)
Oh they have no fucking idea
Can we get Trueanon translated into Mandarin? They need to learn the sick truth about this vile country
I remember a bit of chapotraphouse AI-tranlated to chinese keeping the original voices. No idea if it was a good translation
Also don't remember if it was good, but I do remember someone saying that they spoke Chinese with a Beijing accent
Most famously in the CIA larvae nest
Damn... That's a way to put it... Utah may be beautiful, but it's a portal for demons.
Allah will awaken the Chinese people to the malefactions of the American state
We used to have that too in Denmark until summer time in the 2010's I think. Authorities could grant a so-called king's letter to minors aged 15-17, allowing them to get married. I think it was mostly used in the case of teen pregnancies. I don't think it was done very often towards the end though.
It was eventually abolished for racist reasons. A Liberal Party minister of integration decided to forcibly separate all refugee families where one of the spouses was ages 15-17, hinting at the Muslim brainpan predisposing Muslim men for being nonces. However, the decision was illegal, not for being racist and causing harm to people but for violating principles of administrative law.
In the ensuing scandal the chuds claimed that the minister shouldn't get in trouble because she had saved little girls from being victimised by 50 year old dark-skinned men with huge scary beards. This led people to point out that the feigned concerns were bullshit since minors could still legally get married in Denmark. The institution of the king's letters, mostly forgotten by most people at the time, became an embarrassment and was quietly abolished.
If you want social progress to happen in this country, your best shot is to make a racist argument for it.
Wait what? I'm Canadian, I didn't know this.
Yeah, we got child labor too. Half a million children pick almost a quarter of the food currently produced in the United States.
Uhh what percentage of those are migrants and what percentage of those are undocumented? Impossible to answer, but the truth would be revealing
Actually I think that's just US citizens? Agricultural labor is not subject to child labor laws.
So who even knows how many undocumented children are doing child labor. I know meat packing plants keep getting busted for it.
Agricultural labor is not subject to child labor laws
Rofl. Lmao even. Death to Amerikkka
Every day Iearn something new
About how demonic this place is

AAAAA
Purdue Farms and JBS, two of the largest meatpackers in the US, were just ordered to pay fines for child labor violations yesterday.
How long until we get libs saying we should regulate child labor instead of prohibiting it lmao
when prices go up on the treatlers
Yep. It's mostly bible belt states, and typically requires parental consent. So usually (as best I understand it) parents marrying off very young daughters to much older men who happen to go to the same church as them. A couple of states have tried to end it, only for it to get blocked by their legislature or vetoed by the governor.
Its actually most of the US: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage_in_the_United_States
Although that's with all the exceptions on the book. It might be easier to get the exceptions in the bible belt.
Also notable: states with zero minimum age using all exceptions CA, OK, NM, MS.
Edit: in 2017 there were 25 states with no minimum age. All 13 states with 18 as the final minimum were applied after 2018. The triggering event seems to be HRW pointing out Afghanistan had better child marriage laws than the US. So this is something that the US is just now coming to terms with.
Outside the Bible belt too; the fundamentalist Mormons in Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, and New Mexico also have child brides, but I think they're more reprehensible since they also expel their teenage boys by abandoning them in Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Denver, Albuquerque, and Las Vegas to a life of destitution due to being uneducated and sheltered their entire lives in cult like conditions.
They also have complete control of the towns they inhabit including the police and judiciary to shield them from state efforts to stop them; with Colorado City being the most egregious example imo.
I genuinely believe that Mormonism should be destroyed

Wish that was us
why?
Because selective enforcement of the law alone is massively powerful.
Damn
As a communist in the USA, it’s weirdly affirming how both USSR citizens and now red book users both experience a shock in learning the reality of living in the west. The former tragic because it was caused by transitioning to it, but this time it’s vaguely warm. There is no threat, just exposure.
I saw a post where people were shocked to learn that ambulance costs weren’t government propaganda. I know the app trends bougie and liberal in the mainland, but maybe that’s good given the current context? They are being exposed to the reality of America rather than the RFA version.
This often happens for a couple reasons. The US embassy straight up lies and will say things like every American can afford a house while working in a kitchen.
Another is soft power. People see shows like Friends or whatever’s trending on Netflix and think all Americans live like that. YouTube plays into this too when they see massive YouTuber homes and believe every American can easily afford it.
The embassy released a list of posts on Weibo i believe in response to Americans talking about life here in XHS. They claimed we have universal healthcare and an average household net worth of 1.2 million dollars lmao

i found the household value one but i dont see the healthcare one
I have enjoyed the liberal Chinese reaction a lot. Liberal who say that American people make a lot of money and have a good life are humiliated. 😸
I troll them
How much trolling until they get scratched and tell you it's because of your "personal and generational failures"?
When they get scratched they will attack me because I am from Gansu. I can tell that they are mad.
I’ve seen a few people saying things like this, that Americans make a lot of money but are just spendthrifts who don’t know how to save. I hope they mull over the vast number of anecdotes and receipts people are sharing to realize how false that perception is
awhile ago there was a youtube video posted here where there was a comment seemingly from someone outside of the US who claimed to hear that we had good healthcare or something. If one isn’t deep in the web it’s hard to know for certain
for example, i have the benefit of living around and having friends who’ve lived or currently live in China. Exchange students in college for example, and that set me straight in my libs years. Just asking about daily life and recognizing that ppl r the same everywhere. Not everyone views the world in that simple way which leads to understand of differences and nuance etc
I live outside the West and people who want to move to the United States know basically nothing about it. I've never seen one acknowledge homelessness, people who need multiple jobs, healthcare costs etc.
I might be the most anti-USA person I know because I have a lot of USian friends to explain the experience first-hand.
the US’s reputation is absolutely riding on the runoff of its golden years. people getting crushed in the belly of the beast also still believe that ppl want to immigrate here bc of “opportunity” and other such vague-ries
I don't know how long this Xiaohongshu in the West thing will last, but at the very least it has been really interesting.
The China Hawks will be sure to ban the hell out of the app the first chance they get.
One China Hawk, Tom Cotton, has already called for Xiaohongshu's ban.
I can't find the clip but it's part of his earlier rant while blocking Dems from extending the ban.
