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.

This is a fine example of how the american government doesn't care about the interests of americans.

The government only exists to serve the wealthiest among us. Some of those wealthy people are upset that Chinese aristocrats are getting all that money.

This trade war only exists because rich americans want more money for themselves. It has nothing to do with national security and you're a useful idiot if you think otherwise.

It has everything to do with national security, they just don't consider common people as part of their nation same as slaves weren't.
