    Really wholesome to see USians and Chinese citizens interact. Sadly, this means the US will step in any minute to move forward with stopping this.

      And when they do that’s only going to radicalize people further now that they’ve had a taste of interacting with people in China. Also, the whole freedumbs and freeze peach narrative is now coming apart as well.

      It’s such a historical moment. For the first time, millions of ordinary American workers are engaging directly with their Chinese comrades, uncovering the lies fed to them by their ruling class. This awakening is a blow to the imperialist propaganda machine and a step toward proletarian solidarity across borders.

    I really hope Xiaohongshu doesn’t implement things to separate language users. I didn’t even use TikTok but have been using Xiaohongshu since it’s a lot more fun and unique seeing Chinese culture and memes even if I’m having to do a lot of translating.

    Probably will push me to actually learn mandarin too

      says the person who is absolute sure their government isn’t spying on them, and that’s only something that happens in dirty commie regimes 🤣
