Bros, if China fumbles this opportunity on a silver platter, I will be so fucking pissed. Even if it has to run at a loss, China should be doing everything it can to Chinapill an entire generation of Westerners. I'm talking tourism, business deals, exchange student programs, the fucking works. For any naysayers: don't think of it as net loss but as the cost of an influence campaign—the single most effective influence campaign the Americans handed to us.

We need the leadership of old has been to be replaced by shitposting millennials asap. Not even joking either. The old strategy of catering to foreigner must go.

He isnt in office until 20th, the ban takes affect on 19th... is Trump making EOs even before getting sworn in?!!

As usual the optics matter more than the results. The Donald will not let such a good opportunity to bolster his approval count go to waste. If a Kardashian has already capitalized on the situation, why won’t Trump?

I think people think it's a new model, like it will be China's new special social media zone. Also I heard that apparently Hainan is about to drop the Great Firewall. Would be huge if true.

I am cautiously optimistic. This could even be a deal between 真理部 and 抖音 to compensate the latter for the loss of TT. I hope it is not just 抖音 who gets the privilege though. Some competitions between 抖音 and 小红书, and other players, too, would be good for everyone.

On the other hand, I hope that the Chinese authorities have been preparing for this. This could be a Berlin Wall moment for either direction.

The past 30 days have been crazy for Chinese power

First you got the post Christmas hard power surprise of two 6th gen fighters plus a new AWACS, and now this early January soft power surprise of Americans willingly submitting themselves to a Chinese app and fostering the greatest US-China private exchange ever

What a month for SDF
I've lost a lot of sleep in last 3weeks since Dec26 catching up here and simply reading-but I don't mind at all.Hope I lose more sleep later,H20,Tw reunification etc

I think we're there, given somehow Showa American Story has official state blessing to go ahead.

My view on this has become optimistic because CCTV reported about the XHS exodus in positive light yesterday:

That is starting to approach official state blessing
