the tiktok exodus is widely known! for those of you who don’t know, i am in high school. i can’t count with my hands how many people have talked about it, and that’s just in the two classes i had yesterday (exam week, yay). i’ve already gotten 2 people to download it. they both made accounts and use it now! it’s broken the niche internet thing into the real world, at the very least for young people.

on the app front, lots of americans are posting things like “we’ve been lied to, china isn’t that bad!” i’ve come across so many americans learning about chinese culture and responding positively to patriotic or socialist posts from chinese netizens. it’s insane, i’m really amazed at how, for at least a good chunk of americans, china is becoming less demonized.

    I am a Chinese student studying in North Korea, and I will continue to study in North Korea for a few years. From what I have seen, North Koreans love peace and are willing to get along with people from other countries. However, due to the current international situation and national conditions, only a small number of North Koreans can see this program or communicate with the outside world. But I believe that through friendly and high-quality exchanges and communication in multiple fields, we can eliminate prejudices and even misunderstandings between people, and then bridge the distance between people and achieve the goal of common friendship, prosperity and development. This is what China calls the “community of a shared future for mankind” in the field of diplomacy.
