The conversations are amazing
Eh, there's truth and lies on both sides. Coming from someone that lived in china for 4 years and was able to engage with Chinese primary news sources. But basic healthcare in china is faster and cheaper, but then again I went to get a wart removed and they prescribed me acorn paste that accelerated the growth of the wart. So win some lose some.
Everyone pretending Europe doesn't exist? Most countries have most healthcare for "free" (mandatory healthcare taxes).
The kinda people joining Rednote right now are not the same kinda people who know alot about geopolitics, or honestly anything beyond their personal bubble. Yeah, they're just gonna keep pretending Europe doesn't exist.
The game companies forget the geo-politics (time scheduling with ET/PT) except for the US/CN, US shops completely forgetting there exists a world beyond US, CA and maybe MX as shipping outside maybe exists only to the UK (for whatever reason)....

Not a single hospital I went to in that country had hand soap in the bathrooms, to give you an idea about the level of hygiene. But going for my yearly sinus infection was a breeze and I got antibiotics. Not a zpack but it cleared up the infection. And no appointments necessary. Breeze in and breeze out an hour later with what you need. And dirt dirt cheap, and on my visa I didn't pay into the national health care system, so my cost was 100% out of pocket.
The wart had to grow so it could be killed
If you'd have left it @[email protected], it would've become a mighty oak. You Westerners are weak. Who wouldn't want a mighty oak growing out their dick?
It was on my thumb... But that is quite the visual.
Few things blew my mind even though I've been a big fan of Chinese economic and political policy for a while
They actually really like Soviet Culture, the marching soldiers and flags etc. Soviet rock like Kino and the like is very popular!
They're casually Marxist, its not something they have to fight to learn about so socialism is a casual existence for them. I figured the youth would be "too cool or hip" but doesn't seem to be the case
They're very similar as gamers, they really like shooters like battlefield and cs go. I assume their MMOs are different but I'm asking about that
It truly is a massive cultural exchange the likes of which have never been seen before. I'm trying to find out if they grew up on the same games, Morrowind Deus Ex Thief Ultima Online D&D etc
It's uncomfortable seeing Xi with an actual jawline..

There's a bunch of Chinese posts asking if the stuff about school shootings, fires, homelessness are exaggerated propaganda only to be told otherwise. It's both hilarious and sad.
People of the US and China are both unsure of what to believe about the other, because both are so propagandized lol
Circle jerking about China is as ridiculous as circle jerking about the US. We've been here before with US vs USSR, but this time everyone has a megaphone and an IQ that can be measured with a ruler.
If banning tik tok ends up galvanizing demand for healthcare reform I'm going to laugh my ass off
imagine making social media so bad your own citizens actively procure your biggest rival's networks.
I think there's a simple desire to move to pastures new. "Use Instagrmam or Youtube Shorts or Snapchat" No, we've been there and done that.
我爱小红书！I love rednote! So many cool people and I'm brushing up on my mandarin 😎
Thanks for the flags, I needed them /s
It's honestly very wholesome to see this kind of interaction. On top of cute moments like Chinese users telling the new US users that they are their "spies," seeing a lot of blatant myth dispelling surrounding the PRC is great to help tear down the Red Scare.
tbf the people who will download this app are not scared by China in the first place
