The migration to Xiaohongshu is hilarious, but it makes me think that the whole idea of operating an app for international users exclusively is a little short sighted. Having Chinese apps run on Chinese servers, subject to Chinese content moderation, and open to international users might just be the way to go.
Back then the US narrative was dominant, now it's the other way around

as he launched a tirade against Japan, calling the close U.S. ally “evil” during a press conference.

“I want to buy,” Goncalves told journalists at the Butler works plant in Pennsylvania. “I have a plan, I have an all-American solution in place. The all-American solution centers on people, on workers.”
The Cleveland Cliffs CEO attacked Japan as “evil,” claiming that the U.S. ally had taught China how to dump steel on the U.S. market.

“Japan is evil. Japan taught China a lot of things,” Goncalves said. “Japan taught China how to dump, how to have overcapacity, how to overproduce.”
The CEO criticized Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba for expressing concern to Biden about the decision to block Nippon’s acquisition of U.S. Steel. Goncalves challenged Ishiba to bring the same concerns to the White House when President-elect

takes office.

“Japan beware,” Goncalves said. “You don’t understand who you are. You did not learn anything since 1945. You did not learn how good we are, how gracious we are, how magnanimous we are, how forgiving we are.”

Japan avoids commenting on Cleveland-Cliffs CEO's provocative comment​

At a Monday news conference in Butler, Pennsylvania, after welcoming U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision to block the deal between the two companies, Goncalves harshly criticized Japan for “teaching China how to dump steel.”

“China is bad. China is evil. China is horrible. But Japan is worse. Japan is a lot worse,” he said. “Japan is evil.”

Goncalves went on to say that Japan taught China how to make and dump steel, how to have overcapacity and how to overproduce, referencing Nippon Steel’s past relationship with China’s Baoshan Iron & Steel, which was built in the 1980s under technological and financial assistance from Nippon Steel and the Japanese government.
Now you understand why Ishiba is so desperate to meet the Chinese, although he probably wants a J-36 model ASAP also.
