You keep on coping there little buddy. What's happening is that regular people from both countries are now talking directly to each other, and finding out what life is actually like.

Uhhh, not exactly regular people. From what I've seen from the Rednote, at least my feed is wealthy upper-middle or upper class, while the Americans are from low to middle class.

not what I see in my feed, might depend on the interests you picked and whom you followed, etc

That’s because via GDP those two are at the same level even though they are different levels in their own country.

what was preventing them from doing it before?

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago

Lack of will on the part of Americans to engage on Chinese platforms like Xiaohongshu. The looming TikTok ban is what pushed people over the edge.

tiktok is chinese tho so where were all the chinese users?

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

TikTok is a Chinese built platform, but it's built strictly for users outside of China. The Chinese version of TikTok is Douyin. You could've googled this yourself in the time it took you to write this comment.

Why? Tiktok is availabe in multiple countries with completely different language, culture and laws so why not China? Why have a different version of the app specifically for china?

I'm curious, what does this line of questioning have to do with my original comment?
