I'm not really one for Tik Tok, but I went on REDNote to see what it was about and it was incredibly wholesome seeing American and Chinese people getting to interact as normal human beings and understand each other without it being filtered through our governments. Even if they don't shut down Tik Tok, they're gonna have to shut that shit down. Can't have future soldiers seeing their "enemies" as humans.

I wonder if they're actually chinese troll farms

Insane to me that people can be this xenophobic. Wholesome Chinese people? No internet troll farm.

China paying entire offices of people to be friendly, entertaining, and educational to foreigners online would be cool actually.

For those unfamiliar:

The 50 Cent Party, also known as the 50 Cent Army or wumao, are Internet commentators who are paid by the authorities of the People's Republic of China to spread the propaganda of the governing Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The program was created during the early phases of the Internet's rollout to the wider public in China.
