“They” say they are banning it over national security concerns I think it’s deeper then that. They can’t have a socialist like platform having an audience. Which in my opinion is why they wanted to force a sell or just ban Tiktok.
I don’t think, that they will go after Rednote if it doesn’t gain popularity the way that Tiktok did.
This guy is getting downvoted for truth. TT is the only big media platform that consistently promotes socialist policies and openly attacks western status quo. If there are any truly ideological reasons to ban TT it was because of that. We’re being ruled by the oligarchs and their interests were threatened but let’s not kid ourselves - China has their own who’d happily take their place.
I wouldn’t really say TikTok is socialist like, but yeah it’s clear it was only banned because they don’t like it and not its harms
Maybe not TIktok itself, I was mainly referring that it's maintained by a Chinese company. Too many people in the u.s think China is communist, but it's lately more like socialism.
But whether it's socialism, or communism, the Republican party most outspokenly, won't have either one of those. Mainly because it can devalues the capitalists.
Yes the country with 200 billionaires is totally socialist and not a capitalistic shithole borrowing honor from their own past because modern Chinese leadership is such a tragic failure.
China is socialist like 1940 Germany was socialist.
can't really explain those camps away, can they...
