This is a world historic event folks. You should be on it. By the way the name xiaohongshu is a reference to Mao. Decades and weeks and all that.
Edit: Oh also there’s no private message or group chat on web version so you have to use mobile app!

Unironically, all those westerners going out of their way to go to a Chinese app and interact with Chinese peoples is the biggest blow to anti-china propaganda in a very long time. I’ve seen a lot of them talking about what they’ve been told about China by western medias were lies so they are definitely open to challenging all of the classic anti-China narratives I think.
Not to be a downer but imo it’s not that challenging actually. There’s prominent already a “love the people, hate the government” thread among “woke” sinophobes, if anything I feel XHS in particular might bolster that view. Why XHS in particular? It’s turbo-charged instagram, it’s very commercial and prone to “affluenza”-type influencer marketing content rather than #discourse or #progressive #activism (not that the last 2 couldn’t be folded into ‘love the people hate the gov’ either)… I’m literally bracing for impact of westoid discourse pointing this out as “evidence” of Chinese censorship.
Honestly, I just really hope that this makes “woke” Sinophobes out themselves faster and show how little they know of (and care about) China outside of “muh Tinyman square” and other talking points
(I know she’s low hanging fruit, but you get the picture)
