“Bizarre and beautiful” is exactly how I would describe watching firsthand this past week as countless Americans began directly engaging with average Chinese for the first time via the migration to RedNote (小红书).

There has never been- not hyperbole here - the degree of cultural exchange at the grass roots level between the peoples of these two nations. More than likely it won’t last. That won’t take away from what was achieved.

Wait so American tiktokers are moving to Chinese rednote because American is gonna ban TikTok? Is America gonna bad red note as well? I’m so confused 😆

Essentially yes, but it might be the Chinese govt that will “ban” American access to RedNote via geo-locking. If you have an American ISP you can’t access the app.

Everything is up in the air right now. Nothing is clear where this will play out.
