Americans are joining the Chinese social media app en masse to protest an imminent TikTok ban.

  • American users have flocked to Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu in defiance of security warnings.
  • Chinese and American users have engaged in surprisingly friendly conversations about each other’s lives.
  • The influx of American users could burden Xiaohongshu’s censorship mechanism, experts say.

They've eliminated extreme poverty and are on track to eliminate poverty. Given even the poorest citizens don't worry about rent or medical bills or food costs, their poverty looks incredibly different to that in the US.

Yeah they eliminated poverty the same way they defeated COVID... By just saying they did and people like yourself slurp it up without a second of critical thought.

No, you people choose to be ignorant and believe the US government, instead of visiting China yourself or talking to someone in China or doing any research.

Even the CIA, by the way, has stated China has eliminated extreme poverty in the world Factbook.

I get it, a lot of rich white people paid for you to be the way you are; it's still your fault to remain ignorant.
