I hope you are right but I am not as confident as you are about the immunity. I think a large portion of the Chinese internet population still do not have sufficient exposures to the libtard shit in the correct way.

All those e-thot will have access to top tier intel on American elite clients, and they will become Chinese spies. Our evil plan to dominate the world proceeds smoothly.Apparently OnlyFans was never blocked in China, I guess the correctly predicted a few years ago that in the near future western E-thots would be begging for the attention and money of the Chinese
China needs more free market, hoeflation must be kept in check.
What's been happening is pretty interesting. There's a lot of credibility from the "America-explainer" Chinese liberals and academic types and the "China-explainer" "laowai" types that is being shattered right now. There's plenty of discourse on the Chinese domestic internet talking about how the public intellectuals who were constantly lecturing people on Guancha about how America was the beacon of the world and how dishwashers in America would be considered basically upper-class income in China are completely silent now that "their American masters" themselves have come to the Chinese internet in person to share what things are really like. From the other side, I came across one video on the app that encapsulates this phenomenon: some American guy living in China shared his unsolicited "wisdom" on "Chinese social customs" and talked about how "weird" it is that he "never" saw PDAs like Chinese people kissing in public.
If you post something like this in "expat" circlejerk communities like r/chinalife, they'll start making this into some grand orientalist narrative about Confucian patriarchal values or Asian social conservatism or Beijing-enforced public morality. That's exactly what the Chinese language responses, back from December when the video was posted, ended up saying, self-flagellating apologies on how "Chinese people simply aren't as expressive as 'free' Westerners are." Normally, that would be the end of that, with stereotypes further enforced. Now with Americans on the app, you got new English language responses to that video saying "Lol this is BS, you'd get side-eyed if you tried that in public here in the Midwest" or "Yuk. That isn't really acceptable in America either and I live in NYC."

I'm enjoying the millenial Berlin evolution into what looks like shanghai fashion; plus who doesn't love goth suicide girls?
If AIPAC thought banning TikTok would remove Zoomer antisemitism, they were hilariously proven wrong

Apparently that head ADL guy is running a real-life Black Briar / Treadstone /Outcome projects/programs state-side... to suicide those that speak out against the nose
I had another thought on the GFW. This is truly a do-nothing-and-win situation for China. GFW do not, and probably should not, be removed for the time being.
The firewall is only one way probably by design. Oversea Chinese have been able to access the Chinese social platforms from all over the world. The TT refugees just came to 小红书 and started using it without any technical problems. So the firewall can stay as is for the least disruption.
抖音 now opens up for international user registration is likely due to its own setup from the days when the company needed to segregate its user bases. So this is just specific to the company instead of a broader issue for the industry.
If the Chinese government does not think it is the time to loosen up its censorship, it does not have to change how it regulates the internet just for these newcomers. But neither should it try to please the foreigners and treat them with unfairly laxer rules. The government should even keep the social media platforms from favouring foreigners over domestic users.
Mark and big tech didn't understand Instagram reels and other 'replacement' platforms have already developed reputations and solidified communities that are unappealing to TikTokers, who have their own sense of identity and culture. For example, Insta is notorious for its sexism and racism. Nobody wants to share a platform with their parents and grandparents.
Soon, YouTube also will face an exodus, as Google has to squeeze ads more and more for revenue, while also upping censorship. They are even mandating reeducation for certain creators:
It's better to manage the start of an important relationship slowly and make only good impressions, than be hasty and ruin the opportunity forever. I believe there will be plenty of opportunities in 2025 now that the gates have been opened.

Hard for Oversea Chinese to access Douyin since you can't follow, like, or comment without a Chinese phone number, this change was rolled out a few years ago.
Douyin apparently "debunked" the Chinese media reports, they claim that foreigners still aren't able to register on Douyin even though many people have already seen the tiktok refugees on Douyin. I think Douyin was forced to deny publicly since Bytedance is still negotiating with US gov.
Also, I'm so curious how was Deino able to get his info from Weibo all these years?

This all reminds me of that bell curve meme
Sorry this isn't to say you are an idiot. Far from... and the meme is just one of those that illustrate the dichotomy of truth and how often bad takes resemble correct understanding of something complex despite still being absolutely wrong in every single sense. Here, you have stumbled onto something but without understanding the full nuance.
One thing you're missing with this take is that engaging in the "do something, anything" right now (and to be honest Chinese diaspora often do participate in talk back), will enrage the west even more so than they already are pissy about China. This doesn't play well for China compared to the current, do nothing, win destiny of China and humanity.
The second thing you're missing is the deeper level of the truth iceberg. Most western people (even bleeding heart liberals) know and feel very differently to how they present. Some western chauvinists wear their thoughts outright but the reality is most westerns know exactly what the reality and truths are. They know the hypocrisy, they know the unfairness, they know all of it. They don't care.
You have no one to enlighten. This is a struggle for true power. True power comes from my industry, science, technology triumphing over yours. To be leading and gapping you at a degree you relent all of that pretending and carrying those same old false "perceptions". It means the difference between world class academics and industries vs lost tribes. When China is gapping the West to that degree, all things fall into their natural places and the delay in perception of unwashed, unintelligent masses catch up. India is very troubled by their efforts for this war of perception. Do you want to be like China's progress rate over the past 70 years or do you want to be India?
Where on that meme are you dear reader?
Same with opinions and understanding of reality with family and friends... everything that has become finally verified and corrected (of previous propaganda) in the mainstream, is already delayed by at least 5 years if not FAR longer. EVERYTHING. In time, even this snippet will prove itself true.
Just as I think it is Bytedance's own problem. The Chinese government now should keep an eye on them in case Bytedance wants to make a secret deal with the USG and sabotage 小红书 from accepting more TT refugees.
