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.

The Chinese government was never going to let that happen. It threatens their control of their people.

I guess this is one of the few things where China and the US fully agree.

If they'd let their people freely talk it would be way harder to demonize the other side.

China and the US's governments will agree on a lot of things once Trump takes over. Both authoritarian. But they'll still see the other as an adversary.
