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.

    I love that capitalists attacking communists always end up accidentally attacking capitalism. Classic.

      China is a capitalist shithole but for some reason its biggest defenders are always self proclaimed western communists.

      edit: we also have a few militant communists groups that like to blow up chinese nationals working for their govt every now and then.

        What exactly do you think “capitalist” means? Because it sounds like you think any participation in markets is capitalism.

      What do you think “capitalist” means? It sounds like you think it’s just market participation.
