Honestly I was more than impressed with CPC's response on this. They were very quick to identify that this thing had the potential to be a huge soft power win if managed right, in a field that they're traditionally weak and lacking experience in. It took something like only 2 days for government to come to consensus and give blessing for XHS to continue to operate the way they are, and for a government of that size that traditionally play it safe when it comes digital sovereignty that's very fast. On the other hand even now US government hasn't really realized the burning fuse on this bomb and mobilized their NGO. As far as I can tell their NGOs closer to the action can see things are not going well and trying moves on their own in a sporadic and disorganized way.

Ayi, although is often right on a lot of sensitive military stuff was way off base this time. But are you any surprised given he's the origin of the "形式和人心" meme?

TikTok going dark.

Though (and I try to say this not as copium but my actual suspicion) this does not sound like they're donezo forever at all. I think there is something in place. It's clearly elevated to a national level between CN and US.

I actually want it to stay closed. Otherwise it will go back to bread and circuses and most young people will forget about it in a couple of months.

Soft power growth, still waiting on baizuo to learn to use that phrase "reactionary elements" correctly because I love the sound of it.

An important point is just how much, dare I say division, or infighting, this has caused. The more energy they spend within themselves, the less they have directed outwards towards us.

And I've seen so many people shitting on the "TikTok refugees" which will simply alienate them further.
