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.

Youtube and Instagram tried for years to lure in Tiktok users, and they failed so badly that even with Tiktok potentially getting banned, people would rather switch to a different potentially sketchy Chinese app.

Sketchy Oligargh Billionaire App VS State-Run-Sketchy Party-Official-Billionaires App...

Idk... Sounds like loose loose...

Party official billionaires are much better than sketchy "self made" billionaires.

Party officials owe their fortune and allegiance to the party, and we've seen some high profile cases of billionaires being brought to their heels very quickly.

Capitalist billionaires are the end result of a selection process that chooses the most self serving, greedy, ruthless bastards.

I'll take #1. Fight me.
