It’s not just the impact the Chinese had on Americans on rednote. There was a massive number of Chinese liberals having their beliefs that America was actually great because of capitalism and that their government was lieing to them to spread socialist propaganda. I saw several comments along the lines of “how can it be this bad? Our government was telling the truth?”

I think it shattered the idea that capitalism was good in any way for a lot of Chinese users. I think once the wall comes down and the see the hate and control the western media has for China and the truth of life under capitalism it’s gonna be a wake up call.
