1 - One does not need to post on Twitter to read Twitter
2 - One does not need to post on Twitter to post about what they see on Twitter. There are entire Chinese websites dedicated to making fun ignorant people on western social media
3 - Who's post you see on Twitter is controlled by Twitter, you wouldn't be living in an information prison if Twitter let you see what everyone posts
4 - Nobody's stopping you from visiting Xiaohongshu or other Chinese sites before now, why haven't you? Answer that question and you'd also answer why you see so much lib posts on Twitter
Twitter boosts lib content over patriotic content, i did a test where i clicked on the same number of profiles, and when browsing patriotic profiles you still get lib garbage recommended, whereas the other way around is pure lib trash.
After banishing the suggestions, i only get 110% chad xi content.

Ok I can kind of see the information prison. I only really know Reddit subs like china_irl going from neutral to weird Japan larp self haters and chonglang’s existence along with pro-China Chinese on twitter whining about weibo liberalism and other self hate sites.

What are some sites dedicated to making fun of ignorant western takes?
sinodefence forum is one

This is something I do not like to say, but I am convinced this is all about the Jews, this TikTok extortion attempt.

The Jews are pushing this sale, because of the war in the Middle East.

When this story first came out under President Trump, that was a just a fight. Something we like to watch.

Then the world changed.

Biden wanted to ban TikTok in the spring of 2024, when those wars involving Israel were going on for months since the autumn of 2023.

Propaganda is a part of war. Keep your side online and onside. TikTok was the best propaganda vehicle for the Arabs. Nothing was better, not state efforts, not foreign efforts, it was all TikTok.

That is my personal reason to not say much about this whole TikTok thing and the US government.

Sure it is still a fight, but other people behind the scenes have more at stake, like war and propaganda and people dying.

That is simply ugly business.

So if TikTok does not win it US Supreme Court challenge, then it is gone and will abandon the US market. Then the anti-Jew and anti-Israel propaganda will kick up in intensity on TikTok, because they do not owe them anything. They tried to take TikTok down worldwide.

The Americans are trying to do this for Israel. Well good luck.

Not our war.

:cool:
I wouldn't be surprised that ByteDance western shareholders got to greedy and wanted to have or nullify those PRC golden shares.
Hoping to use lawfare to make it happen, no one probably expected the 小红书 backfire to happen. If this was an secret 小红书 psyop from their marketing team they need a very big Chinese new year bonus on this accomplisment.

"little red book"

It is a little red book.

It fits into your palm, and the print is kind of small inside the pages, full of what Chairman Mao wrote. My copy is in the bottom draw somewhere, have not looked at it in years.

People in China, back then, were not all educated, like, cough cough, nearly all of the posters at this forum, cough cough, and it was red and it was small, small red book. What is a peasant going to call that? More so if they cannot read.

Whatever xiaohungshu wants to be as an app, for sure it is not about worldwide revolution! However, Mao was right about the endless clash between the classes, thereby making endless revolutionary struggle.

That the founder's surname is Mao as well, of course this is all related.

Related in branding, not necessarily context or worldwide.

If I see xiaohungshu, I am automatically thinking, what is that, and I am going to look at it.

Cannot help myself.

:p

Dude's asking his opinion on their new XM7 vs M4 family!
I would've made a joke about PLAGF only getting electric rickshaw this year to defuse the awkwardness.

This guy is apparently 1st battalion, 148th Field artillery regiment of 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team based in Boise, Idaho.


This one is even more outrageous if true:

This is like Zhang Zhaozhong jumping on X with a public account.

Any flight radar / tracker would've shown how busy Aeroflot has been in 2023. Carried +7 million more passengers than the previous year, with 20% higher revenue. No wonder people in the West are losing trust in their governments; when you put out such blatant lies that can be so easily disputed, what else can be expected?

Country is Russia, mosque architecture is Ottoman. But secret sauce is Arab soft power!

Maybe zionists are going to have second thoughts about attacking China:)
Tiny hat Zionists would care less if two countries obliterated each other. That's an issue China should be wary of. These guys don't give a shit if USA gets annihilated.

Some people spreading rumours that Xiaohongshu is planning to wall off foreigners in the app. I think this is a huge mistake, the Chinese government should step in and stop them. China is strong and confident enough now, it is the west who should be scared of the free exchange of information between the people, besides Xiaohongshu was full of liberals before anyways.
American social media plays a major role in the general moral decline of society. Anybody who adopted it also faced similar issues. If Chinese society has done so well without the American depravity while the American society has evidently suffered, is it really a good idea to have this exchange? You open up Chinese culture to Americans but you also open up American depravity to Chinese. It's a two-way transaction.

To be honest, I think multiple countries need a Cultural Revolution of their own, particularly the US and do a massive reset on their societies. No way you can fix the american selfishness and warmongering without smacking it out of them.
Unlike most other societies, America was built with war from it's inception to it's sustenance via loot to date. Hundreds of years of it. It's almost genetically embedded. I don't think this trait can eliminated via any behavioral therapy. It's a TOTALLY violent society - wars outside and violence inside. The only way it ends is with amputations, cutting off the fingers that pull the trigger; exhaustion to the point that violence is no longer viable even if desired.

It's more than that. From social media usage, you (the state) can create a complete profile of the users from all over the world, keep track of their activities and history, as well as predict their futures (decision-making) to some extent. It's a huge, huge asset for intelligence agencies. Jews share it with Israel. Once the media moves to a country like China, where Jews have little influence, they lose this huge asset indefinitely, reducing their power and power-projection.

The XHS migration is important not so much that new users are also exposed to Chinese netizens and way of life, since preselection bias means these Americans were already slightly pro-Chinese, but widespread social media acknowledgement of XHS and the new social acceptability of being pro-Chinese.

Prior to this, a pro-China/essentially neutral safe space practically did not exist, with the exception of select internet corners such as this esteemed forum, and brave but small orgs like Code Pink.

For US, the damage is done and the smart thing to do would be to keep TikTok and hope that XHS is a temporary trend that will fade away from Gen Z consciousness. The dumb thing to do would be to ban TikTok, and the worst move would be to also try and ban XHS, thereby victimizing the TikTokers even further.

If the people in power actually do that do you think they’d be in the pickle they are in now?
