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.

    A race, like ethnicity, which reduced the clarity of your initial comment.

    ‘Replacing one spyware for another’ is more clear.

          You know damn well they were referring to nationality rather than race.

              You’re the one derailing by intentionally misinterpreting and being thick about it. Highly encourage you to take a step back, look at this exchange, and think about the point and effectiveness of it all. All I can say is reading it literally made me shake my head and sigh.

            I will not reply back to you as poorly as you just did to me. Like I said, it could easily be worded more clearly.

            Be excellent to each another!

            Don’t know why the mods are removing your post. Or mine. But leaving the obvious.troll with all negative comments.

            Wtf mods?

              We removed rule breaking comments, we are not joining in the argument of who is trolling who.

              Just don’t feed the troll, it’s fairly simple. Block and let them get their downvotes.

        Throwing in the race card is something that wumao are instructed to do regularly.

        The fact that, like you pointed out, you hadn’t said a single thing about race is a strong indicator that the person you’re replying to is a paid troll.

        Btw “wumao” is literally “five dimes”, which refers to the “50 cent party” who are paid internet commentators with the goal to push CCP propaganda. The “50 cent” part refers to how much they get paid per comment.

        Now I’m not saying this person definitely is a wumao, but my guess is that they are.
