If you truly wish for a revolution in some form in the US to occur, this angry Tiktok refugees in XHS aren't going to cut it nor are the US libs and democrats who would be freed from US indoctrination by way of mainland Chinese interactions. If you want an actual revolution in the US, you need to target and win over the conservatives and republicans. For these rednecks are the ones who hold the guns.

Lol no. Where were they when shit got real on Jan 6th?

Supposedly Taiwan just banned Xiaohongshu and Tiktok.

LMAO these dumbasses don't seem to realize you can't 3D print ammunition, gun barrels or almost any of a gun's firing mechanism. You can only print the receiver, which is useful in the US because only the receiver counts as a firearm - the rest of the gun can be bought and sold freely. In China, it would be easier to make an "Abe special" than to 3D print a gun.

3D printing of guns is probably the worst idea if you are after establishing an illegal production of guns. One would fail, period. Basic stamping and machining equipment would lead to actual and cheap guns. I wonder if these people think Hamas, HTS, etc use 3D printers. Underground gun production in civil war/insurgency zones happens in settings like this.

But this would mean hard work and getting dirty that goes against my freedom fighter larp fantasy.

Eventually, someone might just try to target the people responsible for the ban with actual violence, I mean some people on XHS have floated the idea that a revolution is needed to fix the USA for goodness sake.

Based on what I've seen, American "Tik-tok refugees" are predominantly dancing young girls in skimpy clothes and effeminate men. Not exactly a revolution material.

I don't buy any of these big claims. Today, the world is very different from the one in which China was able to lead and dominate Asia. What I do know, though, are:

1. Before the TT ban, the average Chinese knew way more about the US than Americans knew about the PRC.
2. Chinese have overestimated life in the US, and Americans have underestimated life in the PRC.
3. The user base of XHS tends to be affluent urban Chinese; the typical US TT user is more likely an average American.

All in all, I think this "second contact" is likely a bigger shock to the Americans (or anyone heavily "influenced" by Western media) than to the Chinese users.

I think it will change the Chinese/Asians/Dispaoria boba libs to be 100% pro-china wumaos when these "refugees" end up being more like vandals filling the app with either low-end content and racism/winne-pooh/anit-china stuff

From what I can see on forums, due to the multitude of quality Chinese CNC shops, it is not unusual for foreigners to commission firearms parts

Of course these shops probably don't care about anything going out of the country, but there's probably better options for Chinese to get guns.

I’m sick of all the winning at this point.

NO.NO.NO-don't even say that-this should be the appetizers-the main course is yet to be served-and even though we Chinese don't normally eat dessert-I WANT something sweet!!!!
