Some say they joined Xiaohongshu, which translates to “little red book,” to spite the US government after a ban on TikTok became more likely.

American Tiktok users would rather use ACTUAL Chinese spyware app than Meta. XiaoHongShu (meaning “Little Red Book”) and ChatGPT (for translating the Mandarin only app) are currently #1 and #2 on the App store.

    USA = We are the only good guys.

    Nobody but the gov itself and right-wing nutjobs is saying that.

    It is in fact possible to criticize China, Russia, Iran AND the US at the same time

    They are all complacent in crimes and human rights violations in one form or another

      Yeah, but one of those governments can get you right now.

      The other one has to cross international borders.

      Honestly, using a foreign social media site is a hilarious move.

      If I wanted to criticize the government, especially my own, I can see the reasoning behind using a foreign platform to do it on.

      Domestic companies prefer foreign companies be banned. Competition is bad for business after all.
