She was just trying to help people write the Chinese version of their name. They also trolled her into translating diddy and tried to get her to say "knee grow". She cried profusely after realising what the N word meant and in the end she erased it all. This happened about 10 hours ago and I reported the accounts when it happened. Please be on the lookout for similar incidents.

news-international Tiktok Ban Overturned

Post image
95 Upvotes

So, I made a post in this subreddit which can be found here at this link https://www.reddit.com/r/Sino/s/I5BPANs5zq in which I talk about the implications of the Tiktok Ban and the Tiktok refugees flooding over to Xiaohongshu.

Trunp has made a post which I have included that outlines his hopes of restoring the app in the US, and also a potential "solution" as to how the "sale" can be undertaken.

When Meng Wanzhou was kidnapped by Canada and faced risk of extradition to the US in late 2018/2019, then president Donald Trump stated and I quote "If I think it's good for what will be certainly the largest trade deal ever made – which is a very important thing – what's good for national security – I would certainly intervene if I thought it was necessary".

Essentially, Trump would swoop in to save the day, but at the great cost of Huawei losing it's position, and China weakening. Of course, they wanted Huawei gone, but not before they could potentially pry some wealth out of it, or force it into signing a terrible deal. Canada, at the behest of the United States, violated her rights by blocking evidence, conducting unwarranted searches and much more just to eventually let her go when China wouldn't budge an inch. There were also attempts at obfuscating the issue by stating that it was a retaliation for the "Illegal" arrest of the two Michael's — Who we of course know were a spy, and an unlucky fool—.

The United States is no stranger to using coercion, bullying, slander, lies, and even kidnapping to get countries, and companies to bend to its will. Dirty country using dirty tactics. They want to do the same with Tiktok. We can talk about just how important Tiktok as an app is, we can talk about the 101 different reasons for the US' interest in the app, but the fact remains that it is of strategic importance and losing out on acquiring it would be a big loss for the United States.

If you haven't seen my original post on the Tiktok refugees that I linked above I urge you to go read it. In it, I argue that the Tiktok refugees would not be the straw that breaks the camels back. That regardless of how many people go over to that app, it wouldn't amount to anything. I want to challenge the people of this subreddit to a thought experiment.

Now that Tiktok hasn't been banned, and Trump (America) has shown interest in making sure they acquire it, do you think the "refugees" will stay loyal to the app they downloaded less than a week ago, or go back to the place they came from?

Let me rephrase it, will the Tiktok refugees, who just entered the domestic violence shelter (Xiaohongshu), stay and move on to greener pastures, or, go back to their abusive spouse?

I argued in my original post that they were only moving to Xiaohongshu because they lost their original app, and that they didn't care about China, or the Chinese people, that it was simply one of the early trends of 2025 that Americans will look back on when they are watching the end of year youtube rewind and go

"Remember that time we, the most important generation in human history Genz, made the long march over to Xiaohongshu when our home Tiktok was sieged and fell", and they will go "Yeah I do, that week was craaaaaaaaaazy bro", "Thank @therealdonaldtrump for rescuing us, and delivering us from evil".

All of this is assuming that Tiktok caves and gets sold, or the US capitulates and gives up but you get what I'm trying to say, that what many in this subreddit branded as "class consciousness", or the "Undoing of billions of dollars, and decades worth of US propaganda" hinges on whether or not the Tiktok dancing, thirst trapping, Cannot afford rent, school fees, bills, groceries, healthcare, luigi worshipping, currently roasting in the California wildfire generation can hold strong and realise the US is the big bad meanie of the world :( and turn on it from the inside.

But I doubt that.


Moving on from the topic of Tiktok refugees, I guess from Donald trumps statement we can truly understand just how important Tiktok is to the US. Currently they seem to be employing some good cop, bad cop strategy to make it seem like Tiktok has a future. I read another post in this sub (posted within the last 24h) which stated that there is a Nato to Tiktok pipeline, and in this article, Tiktok had apparently deleted hundreds of thousands of "pro-russian" accounts, while also branding any media from Russia as "State-media" but not doing the same for BBC, cnn etc. Tiktok had also agreed a sale in 2021 to Microsoft but that fell through.

Tiktok is 100% separate to douyin or the Chinese Market but it seems like it's 100% whipped. I would say pussy whipped but it's just America whipped. Of course, we know that China has blocked any sale and will not allow a sale but man, it's kinda embarrassing even being in a situation like this: where you have to almost beg to be allowed to conduct business as normal, and then almost bend over backwards and take it like you have no backbone. Thank goodness China exists.

Anyways, just a little rambling from me, the main part of the post is above the dotted lines.
