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.

    No it’s not and it’s incredibly easy to verify so I don’t understand why would you just lie. US salaries are incredibly high so very few countries can actually compare and coast China definitely doesn’t.

    I can speak from experience in tech sector how incredibly tiny Shenzen salaries are even today compared to everything else as I get recruitment offers almost every week. 60k/year is basically peak salary you can get as a senior software dev compared to 100-300k in US.

    Here one source says avg annual income in Shenzen is 24,000 USD vs for example Denver of 94,157 USD — 4 times higher and that’s Denver not San Francisco which would be the mirror of Shenzen.

    I’m not an american or chinese but I know how to read data and it’s pretty fucking clear here.
