What a year, huh?I just reminded myself it's only just the third week of the year.
I don't know what's funnier, Americans still think they can steal Chinese assets or that the asset they want to steal is Little Red Book.US Propaganda mobilizes to counter Xiaohongshu!
"This isn’t organic. It’s almost certainly astroturfed with Beijing’s blessing.
The incoming administration should investigate this issue promptly. Xiaohongshu could be a good candidate for forced divestiture under the TikTok bill.
/end"
If US really wanted, they could simply ban it from app storesXiaohongshu hitting top download is interesting because TikTok isn't actually getting censored, at least not yet, it's just banned from doing business in the US, but Xiaohongshu doesn't do business in the US to begin with.
So it's almost a test to see how many Americans will just download the TikTok app off their website and continue to use it, except now the servers are in China and US has zero control over content.
