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.

    • Taiwan GDP per capita: 36,000 USD > 12,500 USD of China
    • World Happiness Report Taiwan places 27th > 64th of China

    Do you want me to keep going?

    The difference between the two is that China’s people democracy is an objectively superior system to bourgeois dictatorships they have in India and Taiwan.

    And how do you determine that? By feeling the vibes? There are way to many variables to attribute all success to a single one. It’s just not scientifically testable. I’d like to point you to this brilliant economic nobel prize award of this year that did use science to prove the effectiveness of political systems in a way. This is sort of scientific proof we need to really understand the value of these political systems but until we have evidence like that or a time machine we might as well be yelling at clouds here.
