Yeah I find it ironic that for the past five years most of them played along with the deep state vilification of Chinese people (and East Asians in general since they can’t distinguish eye slant angles), leading to Asian Americans being targeted in vicious hate crimes both IRL and online. But now that their favorite toy gets taken away it is hip to learn Mandarin and shit on the political establishment and be pro-PRC? That is just entitled.

It is by the grace of the Chinese people that they demanded a cat tax instead of a pussy tax to join RedNote.

It's an optimistic theory but Trump still installed a sanctioned anti China idiot as Secretary of State.

No, Trump, indeed the entire USG needs China to continue investing in US debt, especially since the debt window will be breached on day 2 of his presidency. That stunt with the scam coin $TRUMP was another breads and circuses to get voters onside and to start off his Presidency strong.

Apparently, US users of TikTok can come onto DouYin either via a VPN on TikTok or from an Android device or non iOS device; this means all the moderation/control is now in the hands of China based TikTok/DouYin and no longer with the US moderation team with all the Tiktok servers in the US shut down. Now, China has control over what american zoomers see and do, just as TikTok allowed them to see the atrocities in Palestine. This was a fuckup by the Americans based on a bluff to get them to hand over Tiktok to US elites.

Given what i've seen from China, i imagine more wholesome content on XHS rather than the lowest common denominator thirst traps of US based TikToks

Also,

Perhaps they've realised they've just given China access and keys to the eyes and souls of the american people and are scrambling to reverse it, yet DouYin is now accepting international phone numbers....

I think the chinese govt is allowing foreign signup so it has some leverage. Us softpower diminish as chinese content proliferate or if they try blocking more chinese content. America and China will be equal in "freedom" but one doesn't go bombing/color revolution

Dating market for Chinese bros went from a seller's market to a buyer's market in the span of a week. Chinese bros are eating good. Blow out some backs for the rest of us, damn.

Since a large portion of of Asian Americans are boba libs they’ll probably make you sign up as actual Chinese spies before you get a piece of the action.

And since everyone loves Chinese Spies now you might even become a hero after you get caught and win the hearts (and more practical things) of girls world wide. You might even get a lot of conjugal visits if you play the cards right. Just hold on to your soap while showering.

I think its too late for that kind of rapprochement, although I might be wrong:

- Most people expect Trump to flip the table at some point when convenient, and try to pull a "I have altered the deal" type play to get better leverage over whatever is the flavor of the day; it would be foolish to think this is not going to happen at some stage(s) in the next 4 years.

- China is no longer willing to prop up the US, and has indicated so through supplying US dollars to global south economies in exchange for resources.

- The US is the weakest and most divided it has been since Vietnam; its future value to China is as a market, which is better served by a fragmented US rather than a strong cohesive one.

There's simply no benefit to 'helping' the US since the narrative under Trump will be good today, and "China virus" the next when convenient, however there is all the benefit in twisting the knife to further weaken it.

I am not saying Trump admin is trustworthy in the context I am alluding to. I am trying to look forward to what is likely as far as politics is concerned.

I am not saying China is willing to prop up anybody. China never fails me when some deal is better to China than conflict. This is a thousand-year old statecraft. From time to time, the Chinese public wants the government to be "tough", but the Chinese government always ended up more rational than the public wishful thinking. If there is a deal to be made with Trump 2.0, then China will likely play along.

US is relatively the strongest in the west, while it is relatively week in comparison to the golden days of Pax Americana. For the "problems" in US or China from the media and on the Internet, US is in the best shape in the west, while China is in the best shape in the rest. The world finally has its G2 right now; it is up to the main men if they want to destroy the playground or milk the playground.

I am not saying anything that is even close to "help". What I am essentially saying, now and in the past, that China is always willing to make a deal as long as it serves better long term interests at deeper levels. The past 8 years already demonstrated that China is the only adult in the room as far as international relationship is concerned.

Neither US nor China will sacrifice their respective national interests to please or help the other party. But they do deals as they see fit, which is what international relationship is essentially about.
