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.

    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.

      I take almost any Chinese party official over an American Billionaire. Rich people had their chance to prove capitalism works, it didn’t…

      China has shown it jails Billionaires, so their Justice system works better than the one in the US.

      Party officials made their fortune first and were then forced to join the party, the party doesn’t make their fortune. They don’t care about people, unless they get either rich or influential, and then uses their red book to reel them in.

      China is the most capitalist country on the planet. The only thing they openly worship is money.

      Please spend some time there and we talk afterwards, if you stick to your opinion.
