Americans are joining the Chinese social media app en masse to protest an imminent TikTok ban.

  • American users have flocked to Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu in defiance of security warnings.
  • Chinese and American users have engaged in surprisingly friendly conversations about each other’s lives.
  • The influx of American users could burden Xiaohongshu’s censorship mechanism, experts say.

    Taiwan for one is richer, stronger and happier than China per capita so does that mean dictatoriship -> democracy is a better system

    Everything in that sentence is factually untrue, I need to get some of the stuff you’re smoking because it must be crazy strong.

    There’s no way to verify how other political system would have worked for China

    It’s very easy to know. India and China have similar landmass, population, and got their independence at around the same time.

    The difference between the two is that China’s people democracy is an objectively superior system to bourgeois dictatorships they have in India and Taiwan.

    It’s ridiculous to compare mainland China with Taiwan, as that island is incredibly small and therefore much, much faster to develop, and it received a lot in investments from the USA as they need a strong ally at the PRC’s borders to support their hegemony. Look at south Korea for another example.
