😎 long time tiktoker here

罗尼!

Byyyyeeee

Oh - first time talking to me?

Oh and I forgot to mention: They are super nice! But I guess I already knew that from having met Chinese folks in real life.

Things I learned about China from 72 hours on Xiaohongshu:

-They do not pay property tax (and yes they do own their own homes - not state owned) which is partly why they have so few homeless people.

-They pay way less for groceries.

-They have beautiful Christmas markets.

-They enjoy freedom of religion but are not allowed to evangelize or go door to door preaching.

-They are appalled that we have to pay for ambulances here.

-They have their own cowboys and rancher subculture.

-Mandarin sentence structure is almost just like English (subject, verb, object).

-My name is 杰西卡 🙂

Yep as it turns out the CCP doesn’t really want our data as much as we were told they did hahaha

Welcome Ian! 🤙😎

And if you’re wondering if I’m redownloading Instagram now that TikTok is back: fuck no. I’ve had a lovely day without them.

Well, folks, TikTok is back already and here was the notification 😆

Ooh that didn’t take long lol

Hahaha. Well, we still have the desktop version of #TikTok yall. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That’s the one

Not lately. Folks from over there were looking for an app that has video creation tools like TikTok so they mostly moved over to Xiaohongshu / “red note”

The Chinese social media app

Yeah I’m waiting to see how it shakes out. In the meantime I’m on Xiaohongshu

Unfortunately that only works if we create a whole new account 🥲

Nice! Thanks!

Lol funny enough I was just yesterday talking to a non-American over there who has the same name spelling as you

Now I’m curious if non-Americans can still see or engage with American content on #Tiktok… anyone know? Like can you still see me @ garden_variety_jess ?
