Wow I must admit that I didn’t expect Tik Tok refugees to flood the Chinese app Xiaohongshu (RedNote) because of the impending Tik Tok ban in the US. Chinese users are delighted to suddenly be able to practice their English and get to know with American people. I would have never imagined that American people could ever come to a Chinese social media platform. I naively thought all Americans must hate China given the insane amount of propaganda here. And it seems that I was wrong! Can you imagine the shock for an American who’s been told that Uyghurs are being genocided, and who literally ends up in a XHS live with an actual Uyghur saying she was a Muslim from Xinjiang? 😆 Another funny moment was when an American started to ask about the social credit score in China on a live with Chinese people 😅only to be told this is a myth that was fabricated by Western media! But some questions still linger. Will this trend continues or dies away? I guess TT refugees must be looking for monetizing alternatives. But from what I’ve understood so far, the TT refugees really don’t want to go back to any meta app, as they see it as boring, and Zuck as the main culprit behind the Tik Tok ban, as he personally lobbied the US congress to have this bill passed.
