Thanks for your video Bee. In case you weren't aware of this. Congress increased anti-China funding from 500 million to 1.6 billion of America taxpayers money for misinformation about China. Articles below. ================================================ House passes $1.6 billion to deliver anti-China propaganda overseas Somehow it’s a crime when Russia does it to us, but good 'information ops' when we want to discredit Beijing’s Belt & Road initiatives worldwide ANALYSIS | ASIA-PACIFIC Regions Asia Pacific China MARCUS STANLEY SEP 11, 2024 Since at least 2016, foreign interference in American elections and civil society have become central to American political discourse. The issue is taken extremely seriously by the U.S. government, which has levied sanctions and called out foreign adversaries for sowing “discord and chaos” through their propaganda efforts. But apparently Washington takes a different view when it comes to American propaganda operations in foreign countries. On Monday, the House passed HR 1157, the “Countering the PRC Malign Influence Fund,” by a bipartisan 351-36 majority. This legislation authorizes more than $1.6 billion for the State Department and USAID over the next five years to, among other purposes, subsidize media and civil society sources around the world that counter Chinese “malign influence” globally. That’s a massive spend - about twice, for example, the annual operating expenditure of CNN. If passed into law it would also represent a large increase in federal spending on international influence operations. While it’s hard to total all of the spending on U.S. influence operations across agencies, the main coordinating body for U.S. information efforts, the State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC), has an annual budget of less than $100 million. There is obviously no issue with the U.S. government presenting its own public view of what China is doing around the world, and doing so as forcefully as needed. But this bill goes beyond that by subsidizing “independent media and civil society” and other information operations in foreign countries. Indeed, this is already routine. The Global Engagement Center, which will likely play a strong role in implementing the bill, spends more than half its budget on such grants, and USAID, which will also play a lead role, makes grants to foreign media and civil society organizations a key part of its efforts. HR 1157 would supercharge these programs. Crucially, HR 1157 doesn’t seem to contain any requirement that U.S. government financing to foreign media be made transparent to citizens of foreign countries (although there is a requirement to report grants to certain U.S. congressional committees). Thus, it’s possible that the program could in some cases be used to subsidize covert anti-Chinese messaging in a manner similar to the way Russia is accused of covertly funding anti-Ukrainian messaging by U.S. media influencers. ================================================== A 500-million-dollar business! America's state-sponsored anti-China propaganda 28 FEBRUARY 2022 500 million dollars. That's the sum of money the US congress planned to allocate to churn out negative news coverage on China. First reported by American Prospect on Feb. 9, the bill was stuffed into the China-centered America COMPETES Act that just got passed by the US House of Representatives earlier this month. A majority of the half-billion-dollar fund will go to the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM), a state-run media service that oversees Voice of America (VOA), Radio Free Europe (RFE), and Radio Free Asia (RFA), which have a record of "blurring the line between objective news coverage and pro-American propaganda," the article wrote. ============================================= House Passes Rep. Andy Barr's Bill to Combat Chinese Communist Party's Global Influence September 10, 2024 Washington, D.C. - Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the “Countering the PRC Malign Influence Fund Authorization Act of 2023,” introduced by Congressman Andy Barr (KY-06), which authorizes $325 million annually for fiscal years 2023 through 2027 to combat the Chinese Communist Party’s global influence. The funds support initiatives to counter CCP disinformation, promote transparency, reduce corruption, and combat coercive economic practices like those tied to China’s Belt and Road Initiative. A senior State Department official will oversee these efforts, ensuring they align with U.S. national security priorities and include annual reporting to Congress on the effectiveness of the funded activities. "The Chinese Communist Party’s growing global influence is a direct threat to the sovereignty of nations and the free and open international order we are committed to defending," said Rep. Andy Barr. "This legislation equips us with the tools to counter China's coercive tactics, ensuring that America and our allies can stand strong against authoritarianism while protecting our national security interests. For too long, funds meant to safeguard these interests have been diverted to questionable projects-like $6 million for Pacific island weather and ocean data collection, $5 million for English language training in Angola, and $2.5 million for scooter charging stations in Vietnam. With this bill, we send a clear message: the United States will not allow the spread of malign influence that threatens freedom and democracy worldwide." “For far too long, China has sought to change the status quo and upend America’s democracy at every turn," said Chairman Michael McCaul. "I am proud to support this bipartisan legislation - thanks to Congressman Barr’s leadership - that authorizes the PRC influence fund and creates the desperately needed guardrails to ensure the money is going to combat the CCP’s malign actions.” “The U.S. needs more effective and agile tools to better compete with the Chinese Communist Party around the world,” said Chairman John Moolenaar. As the Select Committee endorsed in its economic and technology competition report, Rep. Barr’s critical legislation will strengthen the State Department’s Countering the PRC Malign Influence Fund and better enable it to successfully advance American interests abroad. My thanks to Rep. Barr for his relentless leadership on this issue.”
are you anti american since you like communist china? more im little concerned about your channel if your anti american that thinks china is better cause no country is better than other countries we need a single earth country
@@mattburritolook at your hypocritical logic. So if she likes America and thinks America is better, that’s perfectly fine but the opposite means she is wrong bcos no country is better than the rest?
the best part is that Americans are seeing a world with free healthcare, so that we can break free from the corrupt private insurance companies making BILLIONS of dollars in profits off of the suffering of Americans. But even better: a secular society based on science: no more Christianity or Islam or Judaism setting the tone for superstition and hate that fuel endless wars. Science is the way forward. Not superstition.
universal healthcare and secularism/pro-science are two huge benefits. No more Christianity/Islam/Judaism based superstition that takes over so much of the world and fuels MAGA, wars, Middle East conflicts, etc. Science over superstition.
I am 74 years old and I have been watching videos of travelers to China for the past 3-4 years. I have never seen one video from anyone who had anything bad to say about the country or the people. I have been completely blown away by how beautiful the cities and the countryside are and how technologically advanced China is -- so much more so than the USA. The anti-China propaganda spread by our government is disgusting. When I hear it, constantly, and when I see so many Americans who do not even question it, it makes me so angry I want to scream. All they know is that China is a communist country, and as far as they are concerned, communism is "evil' and therefore not even worth discussing. Our government doesn't even want China to prosper because they (our politicians) are afraid that their communist model will make our capitalist system look bad by comparison. But it is true -- our capitalist model IS inferior. In this country, EVERYTHING is treated as a business commodity, and profits ALWAYS take precedence over the welfare of people and the common good. In this country, there is no longer even a concept of the common good. It is all about "individual freedom." But here in America, one needs to be very rich to be free. There is no freedom for the average working-class person. I am so happy to see your video, and I so much hope that this Red Note can be a bridge between the Chinese people and Americans. So many Americans still desperately need to be woken up from the insidious propaganda of our lying, arrogant, small-minded politicians who worship at the altar of capitalism (and in fact the absolute worst form of it) and think that America is supposed to rule the entire planet for the benefit of our corporate oligarchs. To all Chinese people, please know that there are many of us in America who do love and respect you. Our government does not speak for us.
The known amount of budgeted government fund is $1.6 billion for the next few years on anti-china propaganda in the US alone, not mentioning other western governments. It will take years to completely overcome decades of fabricated lies.
Your message is long overdue. I have American friends and I've always known that the heat we're getting from America does not represent the everyday American. But I'm so happy to hear this directly from you. I hope more Americans will let their Chinese friends hear this message directly on Rednote. The government in Beijing has all but given up hope that Washington has any interest in bringing the two people together. That's why they've emphasised quite a few times this people-to-people exchange in the last couple of years to visiting American diplomats, not because they think American politicians will act on it but just so that the international press covering the visits (hence, ordinary people too) get to hear Beijing's invitation to ordinary Americans to China. RedNote looks likely to help create just the bridge that the two countries so badly need.
And let the people between two countries know the truth about their societies each other. The Americans know that their media are keep lying about China and the Chinese know the USA is not really free nad democratic at all.
In the USA everything is about the interest of the businesspeople like Mark Zukerberg, Elon Musk etc. If any business harms them, the US government has an obligation to destroy the new toys. Americans are just puppets.
I live in Taiwan. The Taiwanese government was the first to mock China's requirement to enter an ID number to log in to the Internet, saying it was surveillance and control. But later, many websites in Taiwan also implemented the same measure, because they found that if the website involved commercial transactions, transaction security became inevitable, otherwise many scams would occur.
In the USA everything is about the interest of the businesspeople like Mark Zukerberg, Elon Musk etc. If any business harms them, the US government has an obligation to destroy the new toys. Americans are just puppets.
Haha... it is cute seeing foreigners do it. She is very knowledgeable about China, and know a lot more than Chinese people grew up and is living abroad, for sure.
China should leave it open because the worst thing they can do is let Americans talk to regular Chinese people and find out that China is full of normal people who are not dealing with as much crap as average Americans are.
maybe, or maybe the USA citizens will destroy tgat platform with sh1tp0st, p0l1t1c4l complains and fake news. Im really boring on get inaide an app and only see people complaining about everything. In chinese app i normally swe more creativity and productive posts, which is refreshing and talk a lot about their culture.
The Chinese are open to these things. What these TikTok refugees need to pay attention to is to respect China's history and culture, including about Taiwan, etc. These are the red lines for the Chinese. After all, most Westerners do not understand China's history, so don't make wrong comments. This is very, very important.
@@stevenhenry5267 Given the fact that practically the whole world--including UN--recognizes that there is "only one China", don't you think that the status of Taiwan ought to be voted by ALL Chinese? Folks living in Taiwan certainly have their right to vote, but they will equally certainly be outvoted and will have to accept the outcome. After all, isn't this procedurally how democracy is implemented?😄 To illustrate, let's say 1 million of Americans firmly believe that Bernie Sanders ought to be the president. Could the country grant Sanders all the presidential power within the community of his supporters because a million of us voted for him?
Most of the USA's actions against China backfired. It is like the Road Runner cartoon. They comically backfire, with the coyote (USA) invariably getting injured in slapstick fashion. 'Beep-Beep!'
Wow, the level of critical thinking here is astounding. Are people seriously this naive, or is the CCP cutting you a paycheck? Let me break this down for you: yes, China bans a ton of U.S. platforms like Facebook and TH-cam. The difference? In the U.S., we have freedom to debate these policies- China, not so much. Have you even heard of Jack Ma? He dared to step out of line, and the CCP basically turned him into a ghost, stripping his wealth and influence. But sure, keep imagining China as a beacon of freedom. By all means, go live there if you're so enamored just don't come crying back when you realize what targeted by the CCP actually feels like.
1) The truth is there are limitations in China such as what people can or can not say in public, on social medias, while US seems to have a little bit more freedom of that. 2) The government of China does get things done if the decisions are made, you can see the results in a stunning speed. While in US the politicians will promise a whole bunch of things during campaign time, as soon as they are elected, very few of those promises will be materialized, too many interest groups will make any "progress" become extremely difficult.
@@汤圆-y7f As to your point #1, yes, freedom of speech here in America is considered a very important thing, but our own government and our mainstream media spew non-stop propaganda. So when most of the "speech" is lies, what's the worth of free speech then? Anyway, there is all manner of internal censorship going on in the various platforms of social media and newspapers. As to your point #2, NOTHING gets done here in America. Our entire economic system is based on profit, profit, profit -- with all of those profits going to the CEOs and white-collar executives of those businesses. The average worker never sees any increase in wages, and those profits are not even taxed enough to assure that they serve the interests of the common good. Here in America, the very term "common good,' at least among conservatives, has come to be associated with socialism or communism and is therefore considered to be "evil." Our infrastructure is obsolete and crumbling, our cities are dirty and crime-ridden, our public transportation is the worst of all countries in the developed world, and our public education system is woefully underfunded. Everything in this country is geared towards INDIVIDUAL wealth. America is falling apart at the seams, and this capitalist system is eating itself alive and taking our entire country and our people down with it. From what I have seen of China (in the many videos of travelers that I have watched), you are light-years ahead of the USA technologically and likewise economically and socially. I wish so much that our politicians were not so arrogant, small-minded, and vicious, could reach out and work WITH China and learn from China, instead of thinking in terms of America as the "greatest" country on earth. The truth is, there is nothing about America today that is great. We seem to be on the verge of crashing and burning. I just hope that we don't take the whole world down with us.
Great video. I’m Canadian and my partner Derek is Chinese. We were in China last September for three weeks. I was not prepared for it, absolutely amazing experience, the hospitality was over the top. Easiest place to travel, everyone was so friendly and helpful. It did help that I had a translator right by my side the whole time. Lol
Thank you for speaking the truth. I am proud of young people who have the courage to seek the truth. you are truly remarkable. Because brave young Americans like you have extended the hand of friendship, and with more young people around the world like you, I believe the future of the world is bright
@@beeroseinchinayeah I like it more too.... Could you do videos about how SOCIALISM actually works and China is the example and it's because of it why China is successful? A lot of negativity is spread by the American capitalists to scare the American people from socialism/communism and has been going on since the cold war!
I love Red, and I will gladly upload passport, birth cert, SSN, anything they want to verify myself so I can stay amongst the Chinese and enjoy the connection with everyone.
this is great video content BeeRose, simple but the truth, thankyou so much for always building a friendly bridge between the two culture - China and USA friendship long live !!!
Hi Beerose , I believe that China now has increased a visa free of 1 month for foreigners instead of 14 days a few months ago, before then it was really hard to apply a Chinese visa in Australia. We joined two early tours designed for overseas Chinese by the Chinese Government in May last year when we really had to struggle applying for Chinese visa. We all admire how securely daily lives the Chinese government is able to provide for the people and hopefully the US can do the same, don't try to fool your people anymore don't try everendingly to create enemies as threat to the US year in and year out, make peace with all people in the world.
@@ashishd380 I use wechat because i have a chinese penfriend in Shanghai. It was a bit tricky to convert from Mandarin language to english in the app ,but it works fine in english now.
@@ashishd380 No, we can definitely use WeChat in the US. Many people use WeChat in the US. It's commonly used in the Chinese-speaking community in the US, or people who are interested in that.
Seeing the communication between Chinese and American creators is so heartwarming. Like one offering hot bowl of chicken soup and the other sharing their dumplings. Awwww…. 🥹
Thanks for this little breakdown. The ball is now in China's court. Official statements from Beijing mostly express bafflement at this point. I hope they make the right choice.
Irony of irony. The more they try to suppress people they just incentivise people to look for alternatives. Ah the law of unintended consequences or put another way, KARMA ❤❤❤😂😂😂
Yes, in life, what goes around comes around. If people in the US are racist, abusive, violent, bullying, and discriminatory towards loyal and beautiful Chinese Americans, then eventually, Chinese Americans will win out, and the racists (like almost everyone in some way) will be punished through karma, or what happens on its own in the universe.
Thank you for speaking for China. I've never fallen into that stupid propaganda against China and I've always defended them. It makes me really happy that the US will finally see the beauty of the Amazing China.
In the USA everything is about the interest of the businesspeople like Mark Zukerberg, Elon Musk etc. If any business harms them, the US government has an obligation to destroy the new toys. Americans are just puppets.
To make things even funnier and also extremely practical, Rednote should implement a "refugee" option which the newcomers can receive specific helps in order to help them to adapte their new environment.
They actually have that! When you first log in, you'll find both Chinese and Western users ready to explain to "TikTok refugees" how the app works. It's VERY helpful.
yup they should also celebrate by having a happy refugee day with a black and white cat called Meow Chairman Meow!!! and hand out free gifts digitally and really rile up the idiots in the West... oh the irony of every freedom loving american begging to be accepted by Meows Likkle Red Book!!!
There is news that Rednote is urgently developing an in-app translation feature, but please don't hold overly high expectations about your identity. It is still primarily an app designed to facilitate communication about various interests in a Chinese-speaking environment. Trust me, Chinese people generally don't like labeling anyone or anything to differentiate or treat them differently.
*TO PROTECT NATIONAL SECURITY* means stopping kids from learning about the outside world - ESPECIALLY that Chinese people have very fast trains and FREE healthcare
Clean streets, clean subways, Women are safe to walk in public 24 Hours a day, in fact everyone is, no one who will steal your phone or bags. Trains and buses are on time with all being very affordable. Food is fresh and cheap etc.
@@Ghengiskhansmum I live in Bulgaria now. Incredibly low crime. Brand new battery electric buses every 7 minutes to the city centre, unlimited travel for $16 a month. Most food is grown locally. We have busy thriving high streets - there is a 2 year waiting list for a shop in the city centre [my city is Burgas, its very beautiful] Our trains are bad - they have not got around to fixing that yet.
I'll admit China probably has some awesome public transit, but why would I give up wanting to talk about the square or w.e. taboo subject comes up Though I'd sell my left nut for high speed trains from Toronto to Montreal and Quebec city, and another train running north maybe Sudbury to Toronto going through my town of course If we had that I'd legit just go to Quebec to get some poutine one day lol
If Little Red Book splits into an American vs. Chinese version, then the US government will force Little Red Book to sell the American version. However, if Little Red Book does NOT split, then the US government will NOT be able to force Little Red Book to sell.
It is great to have the perspective of someone living in China and showing China to all the world to see. The West brands China as a backward third world country making cheap products. They make themselves feel great by saying lots of Chinese want to come to the West, some definitely do. If it was not for you and other TH-camrs showing us your life in China we would never know.
初步見到，開始需實名認證，視頻推薦的算法會有個溫和圈子。另聽聞外抖音也開放外國電話登記了。我在香港，中美都有登記。Atfirst it seen that real-name authentication is required at the beginning, and the video recommendation algorithm will have a gentle circle. I also heard that Douyin(China tiktok) has also opened registration for foreign phone numbers. I am live in Hong Kong, registered in China and the United States.
Growing up America you're taught that you're just better than everyone. I'm from Brazil and my whole life all people would say is "It's poor over there and dangerous" I own property there now and am planning on going back. Please explore out of your bubble. More Americans are seeing that now.
In 2024 China had Visa-free travel. In, 2025 Tik Tok banned, and the US Weber joined Red Note for communication between the two countries. We begin to see the light of peace ahead.
Gallagher, Cotton and those who vehemently trying to ban TikTok should realize that contents of these other Chinese apps (XiaoHongShu/RedNote) are comparatively a lot more “wholesome” than other available apps here in the US. People hide behind this but was not the real reason for the ban. Big tech driving out competition, and anti-China paranoia are two main reasons.
I am a retired Canadian and my wife was born in China. Last year I visited China for the first time and stayed for about 2 1/2 months. We had an amazing time. The people are very friendly and the scenery was breathtaking. The food was excellent; such variety, and the price was so much lower than here in Canada. I was a few pounds heaverier when I arived back home, but I am looking forward to my next visit.
@sleo3720 amen! This app will let everyone see the real China outside of the corporate media's portrayal of it and the West will make a Great Leap Forward because of it
Xi Jinping emphasized that the hope of Sino-US relations lies in the people, the foundation lies in the people, and the future lies in the youth. He hopes that more Chinese and American youth will get to know each other, work together, become a new generation of envoys of friendship between the two countries, and continue to inject momentum into the development of Sino-US relations. I believe that the "US-China Youth Student Exchange Association" and all friends will continue to contribute to the friendly exchanges between Chinese and American youth and the stable development of bilateral relations.
Hey BeeRose... ❤Love and Best Wishes from Singapore! ❤ Just found out that you got account in RedNote as well... hope you could "port/upload" most of your youtube videos into RedNote, I bet lots of American now can benefit hugely from your videos... I know that you guys got baby to take care of... so take it easy, baby and family come first... of course if possible make your youtube videos into "short and sweet" with main points only... lots of American or European are going to visit China I think....
Thank you so much for your support! We have plans to put a lot of content on RedNote this year~ I really appreciate your kind comment and advice. I'm so excited to share more with everyone on as many platforms as possible~ Stay tuned! Sending love and best wishes from Beijing! ✨
As a Chinese living in Shanghai, i want to be fair to say, China is still under development, although our country achieved great progress and is becoming leaders in many areas. There are lots looks positive, however might be lots to be continuously improved. Anyways this is a very safe country for sure
I really hope that they add translation features They already have a copy feature to easily copy comments to go to google translate But something that would be a good middle ground to the splitting is to have different tabs for western and Chinese content so being have the choice to interact with each other but makes it easy to see the content you want
But will American TikTokkers corrupt the nice culture of RedNote? Cause RedNote sounds like the original function of Douyin in the past, right? Im not American btw n dont use all these apps. Just curious n hopeful RedNote doesnt lose its educational culture. ❤
Hi Bee, as you spoke, XHS had been busily working on a translation service, so it means the app won't be separated, at least for now. Also, AFAIK, there's an international version that doesn't require ID (I think).
This content is great! You said "They" might split the app into two, why? I think the Chinese government may prefer the third option as this matches the same objective of 144/240 travel window. I hope the Chinese government has influence on this.
I don't live in China or the US nor do I claim to know much about XHS or about social media apps in general. But from the viewpoint of discussing geopolitics, I worry about this news tbh. How do we know for sure that the ban AND the influx of Tik Tok refugees, is NOT a calculated move by the US particularly by its intelligence to gather information and to get a good picture on things inside China including about public sentiment from Chinese netizens directly from a native app? (for example the news about US users asked Chinese users to show pictures of streets and daily life inside the country) Or worse, to foment false imaging about life in the West among Chinese netizens that could one day become seeds of a colored revolution? To think such a development is not going to be exploited by that intelligence apparatus is dangerously naive. I can agree with BeeRose that this development is worth celebrating but only to a certain degree. But we always need to have a base assumption that the US is not stupid or short-sighted. We cannot wholly assume that this Congressional ban is a backfire or bungled move but there could very well be sophisticated and long term plans by the US. We need to be vigilant about that.
If the US government really cares about American interests, it is really possible. But after 20 years of observation, I found that most of the US overseas actions are completely against the US interests. People would say that the Gulf War was for Iraqi oil, but a large part of that oil was actually sold to China! The US government seems to What is really wanted is for the cost of rebuilding Iraq to be passed through Congress without oversight. The same is true for the Afghan war. The military expenditure of 2-3 trillion US dollars, if it is directly paid, is enough to buy every Afghan to live a rich life, but who will the money end up in? All this makes me wonder, the US government Acting only in the interests of the lobbying groups that provide campaign funds. I don't hate the United States, and I don't want the United States to become weak. The best case scenario is that China, the United States and other countries compete with each other: who can bring more happiness to mankind.
@@g863210xie Thank you for the response. What you said and you have observed for the past 20 years is already a given truth that has been discussed by many people. The US is not a democracy, it is an oligarchy that has always served the rich and powerful ruling classes who have political connections (like the lobby groups, the military industrial complex, corporations, big Oil, Wall Street, Silicon Valley and so on) and not the ordinary American people. the key thing is the US has always been like that. It was founded on colonialism and imperialism, to conquer and take land and resources for extraction and profit. They did that to the Native Americans, then Black American slavery and later all the wars and interventions it has done for at least a century. The system is geared towards giving power and wealth to a very few while driving all its other citizens to poverty and misery. Keep in the mind this was the same US that was part of the Eight Nation Alliance (八国联军) that brought China down in the early 20th century. The US was always part of the Western powers that brought the 百年国耻. The 八国联军 still exist. The difference is the US was a junior partner then but now it leads them. While it is nice to hope for the best scenario that you mentioned, I personally don't think the US and its allies (like Britain, the EU, Canada, Australia, Japan, Turkey, Israel and so on) can live in peace with China or the rest of the world. They don't want that happiness for mankind in the multipolar world that China wants. They want to dominate the world and suppress the rest of the world. That is what their political system wants and needs. Unless there are internal people's revolutions within the US and its allied countries to change the system, I don't necessarily see a nice scenario occurring. Maybe, just maybe the Americans who are now in Xiaohongshu may be the beginning of some revolutionary change. It's too early to say that. But can wait and see, I guess.
yeah, US is not one of the Visa free countries, but it can enjoy 10 day transit visa free, actually, like Russia. Australia, Japan and Korea, for example, can enjoy 30 day visa free now. Now it's bit unfair for long term settlers like yourself, because now refugees take priority lol
This should be true. But I feel sad for Xi Jinping. A few years ago, he appeared at a Beijing snack bar to buy food, and people on the Internet immediately mocked him for putting on a show. The Chinese government is very shocked that so many people are dissatisfied with the government. Soon, similar methods of mocking Xi Jinping were banned on the Internet. But I think the least free person in China is probably Xi Jinping. If he does not step down, he will never be able to walk on the streets and live like a normal person in his entire life.
Xiaohongshu was only a well-known platform before TikTok refugees entered, and now many Chinese have also settled in Xiaohongshu with TikTok refugees, and I am one of them. I'm 28 years old, and I've worked in investigative journalism, coding, and Steam games, and I've traveled most of China. I want to meet more foreign friends, welcome to leave a message to me, in return I can teach you how to use these Chinese applications better.
China's official news reported this matter, and I can tell you clearly that this shows that the government supports this matter. I have heard many people say that the Chinese government is not willing to communicate between the two peoples. Why don't you guess why China suddenly went crazy for unilateral visa exemption in recent years?
Thank you for sharing your information of China. Information, knowledge, sharing truth, goodness, progresses, etc. are power; going forward. Garlic, Tiktok are no threat to USA!
this trend seems familiar for people born after 80s cz it just likes the beginning of the bbs, blog platforms when people could discuss anything lively and rationally.
I think 1. is most likely to happen due to probagabda and bad actors will inevitable work their way into the app and ruin it for everyone. Which is a reall bummer because I like option 3 the best as well.
I think the Chinese government is more confident now. They might use this opportunity to open up a little. They'll just restrict certain political content like any other platforms.
BTW, my red note id is: BeeRose in China. Thanks for your support.
Thanks for your video Bee. In case you weren't aware of this.
Congress increased anti-China funding from 500 million to 1.6 billion of America taxpayers money for misinformation about China. Articles below.
================================================
House passes $1.6 billion to deliver anti-China propaganda overseas
Somehow it’s a crime when Russia does it to us, but good 'information ops' when we want to discredit Beijing’s Belt & Road initiatives worldwide

SEP 11, 2024
Since at least 2016, foreign interference in American elections and civil society have become central to American political discourse. The issue is taken extremely seriously by the U.S. government, which has levied sanctions and called out foreign adversaries for sowing “discord and chaos” through their propaganda efforts.
But apparently Washington takes a different view when it comes to American propaganda operations in foreign countries. On Monday, the House passed HR 1157, the “Countering the PRC Malign Influence Fund,” by a bipartisan 351-36 majority. This legislation authorizes more than $1.6 billion for the State Department and USAID over the next five years to, among other purposes, subsidize media and civil society sources around the world that counter Chinese “malign influence” globally.
That’s a massive spend - about twice, for example, the annual operating expenditure of CNN. If passed into law it would also represent a large increase in federal spending on international influence operations. While it’s hard to total all of the spending on U.S. influence operations across agencies, the main coordinating body for U.S. information efforts, the State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC), has an annual budget of less than $100 million.
There is obviously no issue with the U.S. government presenting its own public view of what China is doing around the world, and doing so as forcefully as needed. But this bill goes beyond that by subsidizing “independent media and civil society” and other information operations in foreign countries. Indeed, this is already routine. The Global Engagement Center, which will likely play a strong role in implementing the bill, spends more than half its budget on such grants, and USAID, which will also play a lead role, makes grants to foreign media and civil society organizations a key part of its efforts. HR 1157 would supercharge these programs.
Crucially, HR 1157 doesn’t seem to contain any requirement that U.S. government financing to foreign media be made transparent to citizens of foreign countries (although there is a requirement to report grants to certain U.S. congressional committees). Thus, it’s possible that the program could in some cases be used to subsidize covert anti-Chinese messaging in a manner similar to the way Russia is accused of covertly funding anti-Ukrainian messaging by U.S. media influencers.

A 500-million-dollar business! America's state-sponsored anti-China propaganda
28 FEBRUARY 2022
500 million dollars. That's the sum of money the US congress planned to allocate to churn out negative news coverage on China. First reported by American Prospect on Feb. 9, the bill was stuffed into the China-centered America COMPETES Act that just got passed by the US House of Representatives earlier this month. A majority of the half-billion-dollar fund will go to the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM), a state-run media service that oversees Voice of America (VOA), Radio Free Europe (RFE), and Radio Free Asia (RFA), which have a record of "blurring the line between objective news coverage and pro-American propaganda," the article wrote.
=============================================
House Passes Rep. Andy Barr's Bill to Combat Chinese Communist Party's Global Influence
September 10, 2024
Washington, D.C. - Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the “Countering the PRC Malign Influence Fund Authorization Act of 2023,” introduced by Congressman Andy Barr (KY-06), which authorizes $325 million annually for fiscal years 2023 through 2027 to combat the Chinese Communist Party’s global influence. The funds support initiatives to counter CCP disinformation, promote transparency, reduce corruption, and combat coercive economic practices like those tied to China’s Belt and Road Initiative. A senior State Department official will oversee these efforts, ensuring they align with U.S. national security priorities and include annual reporting to Congress on the effectiveness of the funded activities.
"The Chinese Communist Party’s growing global influence is a direct threat to the sovereignty of nations and the free and open international order we are committed to defending," said Rep. Andy Barr. "This legislation equips us with the tools to counter China's coercive tactics, ensuring that America and our allies can stand strong against authoritarianism while protecting our national security interests. For too long, funds meant to safeguard these interests have been diverted to questionable projects-like $6 million for Pacific island weather and ocean data collection, $5 million for English language training in Angola, and $2.5 million for scooter charging stations in Vietnam. With this bill, we send a clear message: the United States will not allow the spread of malign influence that threatens freedom and democracy worldwide."
“For far too long, China has sought to change the status quo and upend America’s democracy at every turn," said Chairman Michael McCaul. "I am proud to support this bipartisan legislation - thanks to Congressman Barr’s leadership - that authorizes the PRC influence fund and creates the desperately needed guardrails to ensure the money is going to combat the CCP’s malign actions.”
“The U.S. needs more effective and agile tools to better compete with the Chinese Communist Party around the world,” said Chairman John Moolenaar. As the Select Committee endorsed in its economic and technology competition report, Rep. Barr’s critical legislation will strengthen the State Department’s Countering the PRC Malign Influence Fund and better enable it to successfully advance American interests abroad. My thanks to Rep. Barr for his relentless leadership on this issue.”

Time to expose the anti China propaganda through Red Note 😂
are you anti american since you like communist china? more im little concerned about your channel if your anti american that thinks china is better cause no country is better than other countries we need a single earth country
You will find out the fact that Chinese super love Americans. There is no hate, racism on whites/black/yellow. They all call you 老外.
@@mattburritolook at your hypocritical logic. So if she likes America and thinks America is better, that’s perfectly fine but the opposite means she is wrong bcos no country is better than the rest?
Don't ever let them separate us again. Peoples of the world unite!
China is a dictatorship you simpleton. LoL
世界人民大团结万岁🎉🎉🎉
That's what the banner on the Tiananmen Tower says.🤣
the best part is that Americans are seeing a world with free healthcare, so that we can break free from the corrupt private insurance companies making BILLIONS of dollars in profits off of the suffering of Americans. But even better: a secular society based on science: no more Christianity or Islam or Judaism setting the tone for superstition and hate that fuel endless wars. Science is the way forward. Not superstition.
universal healthcare and secularism/pro-science are two huge benefits. No more Christianity/Islam/Judaism based superstition that takes over so much of the world and fuels MAGA, wars, Middle East conflicts, etc. Science over superstition.
I am 74 years old and I have been watching videos of travelers to China for the past 3-4 years. I have never seen one video from anyone who had anything bad to say about the country or the people. I have been completely blown away by how beautiful the cities and the countryside are and how technologically advanced China is -- so much more so than the USA. The anti-China propaganda spread by our government is disgusting. When I hear it, constantly, and when I see so many Americans who do not even question it, it makes me so angry I want to scream. All they know is that China is a communist country, and as far as they are concerned, communism is "evil' and therefore not even worth discussing. Our government doesn't even want China to prosper because they (our politicians) are afraid that their communist model will make our capitalist system look bad by comparison. But it is true -- our capitalist model IS inferior. In this country, EVERYTHING is treated as a business commodity, and profits ALWAYS take precedence over the welfare of people and the common good. In this country, there is no longer even a concept of the common good. It is all about "individual freedom." But here in America, one needs to be very rich to be free. There is no freedom for the average working-class person.
I am so happy to see your video, and I so much hope that this Red Note can be a bridge between the Chinese people and Americans. So many Americans still desperately need to be woken up from the insidious propaganda of our lying, arrogant, small-minded politicians who worship at the altar of capitalism (and in fact the absolute worst form of it) and think that America is supposed to rule the entire planet for the benefit of our corporate oligarchs. To all Chinese people, please know that there are many of us in America who do love and respect you. Our government does not speak for us.
Wow! You are an amazing learning many new things at this age. 👍👍👍
The known amount of budgeted government fund is $1.6 billion for the next few years on anti-china propaganda in the US alone, not mentioning other western governments. It will take years to completely overcome decades of fabricated lies.
@@rickarmstrong9660 you are so humble, thank you
Your message is long overdue. I have American friends and I've always known that the heat we're getting from America does not represent the everyday American. But I'm so happy to hear this directly from you. I hope more Americans will let their Chinese friends hear this message directly on Rednote. The government in Beijing has all but given up hope that Washington has any interest in bringing the two people together. That's why they've emphasised quite a few times this people-to-people exchange in the last couple of years to visiting American diplomats, not because they think American politicians will act on it but just so that the international press covering the visits (hence, ordinary people too) get to hear Beijing's invitation to ordinary Americans to China. RedNote looks likely to help create just the bridge that the two countries so badly need.
Well said man.
Americans flocking to red book & doing mutual cultural exchanges definitely is one of the happy positive news in a while.
Americans needing a little red book for refuge and cultural guidance OOOOH THE IRONY!
And let the people between two countries know the truth about their societies each other. The Americans know that their media are keep lying about China and the Chinese know the USA is not really free nad democratic at all.
happy news indeed! Thanks for watching~
Flocking to China? Really?
In the USA everything is about the interest of the businesspeople like Mark Zukerberg, Elon Musk etc. If any business harms them, the US government has an obligation to destroy the new toys. Americans are just puppets.
I live in Taiwan. The Taiwanese government was the first to mock China's requirement to enter an ID number to log in to the Internet, saying it was surveillance and control. But later, many websites in Taiwan also implemented the same measure, because they found that if the website involved commercial transactions, transaction security became inevitable, otherwise many scams would occur.
还有一个原因就是因为要防止未成年人阅读少儿不宜的内容和乱买东西，这挺好的，虽然部分信息会被别有用心的人偷窃，但只要你聪明点不上当受骗就好啦
just because Taiwan is doing it more doesn't mean it isn't still fucking surveillance and control
Lol. Leaving out a lot of context.
just because Taiwan is doing it more doesn't mean it's magically not surveillance and control anymore
let's see if this comment gets deleted again
According to an Australien study, more than 80 % of Twitter (before X) accounts were nothing but bots . Bots pushing pro war propaganda.
This is big because American ordinary people for the first time directly communicate with Chinese ordinary people and share their life experiences.
so big! I have never seen anything like it happen before

good catch.
Haha... it is cute seeing foreigners do it. She is very knowledgeable about China, and know a lot more than Chinese people grew up and is living abroad, for sure.
Wow
China should leave it open because the worst thing they can do is let Americans talk to regular Chinese people and find out that China is full of normal people who are not dealing with as much crap as average Americans are.
maybe, or maybe the USA citizens will destroy tgat platform with sh1tp0st, p0l1t1c4l complains and fake news.
Im really boring on get inaide an app and only see people complaining about everything.
In chinese app i normally swe more creativity and productive posts, which is refreshing and talk a lot about their culture.
可是美国政府不会这么想😂😂😂
謝謝您為中國發聲 ❤❤❤
The Chinese are open to these things. What these TikTok refugees need to pay attention to is to respect China's history and culture, including about Taiwan, etc. These are the red lines for the Chinese. After all, most Westerners do not understand China's history, so don't make wrong comments. This is very, very important.
Taiwan has the right to self determination including not wanting to be a part of China.
@@stevenhenry5267 Would you say the same thing about Transnistria? Or how about Catalonia? Or for that matter Guam?
@@stevenhenry5267 Given the fact that practically the whole world--including UN--recognizes that there is "only one China", don't you think that the status of Taiwan ought to be voted by ALL Chinese? Folks living in Taiwan certainly have their right to vote, but they will equally certainly be outvoted and will have to accept the outcome. After all, isn't this procedurally how democracy is implemented?😄 To illustrate, let's say 1 million of Americans firmly believe that Bernie Sanders ought to be the president. Could the country grant Sanders all the presidential power within the community of his supporters because a million of us voted for him?
@@stevenhenry5267 If only Native Americans had that right
@@stevenhenry5267 Why don't you go to Taiwan and ask everybody what nationality they are???? They will ALL answer: Chinese.
Most of the USA's actions against China backfired. It is like the Road Runner cartoon. They comically backfire, with the coyote (USA) invariably getting injured in slapstick fashion. 'Beep-Beep!'
搬起石头砸自己的脚 😄
Wow, the level of critical thinking here is astounding. Are people seriously this naive, or is the CCP cutting you a paycheck? Let me break this down for you: yes, China bans a ton of U.S. platforms like Facebook and TH-cam. The difference? In the U.S., we have freedom to debate these policies- China, not so much. Have you even heard of Jack Ma? He dared to step out of line, and the CCP basically turned him into a ghost, stripping his wealth and influence. But sure, keep imagining China as a beacon of freedom. By all means, go live there if you're so enamored just don't come crying back when you realize what targeted by the CCP actually feels like.
The Little Red Book is the greatest! It's amazing how utopian China is!
I agree! China is the FUTURE!
1) The truth is there are limitations in China such as what people can or can not say in public, on social medias, while US seems to have a little bit more freedom of that.
2) The government of China does get things done if the decisions are made, you can see the results in a stunning speed. While in US the politicians will promise a whole bunch of things during campaign time, as soon as they are elected, very few of those promises will be materialized, too many interest groups will make any "progress" become extremely difficult.
@@汤圆-y7f你觉得为什呢美国人喜欢TikTok，就是因为在其他APP有很多东西不能说😂，你试试在脸书谈论以色列屠杀
@@汤圆-y7f As to your point #1, yes, freedom of speech here in America is considered a very important thing, but our own government and our mainstream media spew non-stop propaganda. So when most of the "speech" is lies, what's the worth of free speech then? Anyway, there is all manner of internal censorship going on in the various platforms of social media and newspapers.
As to your point #2, NOTHING gets done here in America. Our entire economic system is based on profit, profit, profit -- with all of those profits going to the CEOs and white-collar executives of those businesses. The average worker never sees any increase in wages, and those profits are not even taxed enough to assure that they serve the interests of the common good. Here in America, the very term "common good,' at least among conservatives, has come to be associated with socialism or communism and is therefore considered to be "evil." Our infrastructure is obsolete and crumbling, our cities are dirty and crime-ridden, our public transportation is the worst of all countries in the developed world, and our public education system is woefully underfunded. Everything in this country is geared towards INDIVIDUAL wealth. America is falling apart at the seams, and this capitalist system is eating itself alive and taking our entire country and our people down with it.
From what I have seen of China (in the many videos of travelers that I have watched), you are light-years ahead of the USA technologically and likewise economically and socially. I wish so much that our politicians were not so arrogant, small-minded, and vicious, could reach out and work WITH China and learn from China, instead of thinking in terms of America as the "greatest" country on earth. The truth is, there is nothing about America today that is great. We seem to be on the verge of crashing and burning. I just hope that we don't take the whole world down with us.
@@汤圆-y7f Poor China built ghost towns at stunning speed.
Great video. I’m Canadian and my partner Derek is Chinese. We were in China last September for three weeks. I was not prepared for it, absolutely amazing experience, the hospitality was over the top. Easiest place to travel, everyone was so friendly and helpful. It did help that I had a translator right by my side the whole time. Lol
Thank you for speaking the truth. I am proud of young people who have the courage to seek the truth. you are truly remarkable. Because brave young Americans like you have extended the hand of friendship, and with more young people around the world like you, I believe the future of the world is bright
this is so kind and really means a lot 🥹 Thanks for your support, I will keep spreading the truth loudly for all to hear!
I have come across some middle-aged westerners on Red Note learning Chinese too. I gave them big thumbs up! 😄😄😄
Governments are devided People are united
Personally I like that this video isn't "better quality" it takes me back to how TH-cam used to be. It's not low quality it original recipe TH-cam.
awww this is a really kind comment. Thanks so much for your support! It means so much!
@@beeroseinchinayeah I like it more too.... Could you do videos about how SOCIALISM actually works and China is the example and it's because of it why China is successful? A lot of negativity is spread by the American capitalists to scare the American people from socialism/communism and has been going on since the cold war!
I love Red, and I will gladly upload passport, birth cert, SSN, anything they want to verify myself so I can stay amongst the Chinese and enjoy the connection with everyone.
we are stopping ww3 rightnow,please don't let them separate us
this is great video content BeeRose, simple but the truth, thankyou so much for always building a friendly bridge between the two culture - China and USA friendship long live !!!
Thanks so much for your support ✨ Cheers to a long and peaceful friendship!
Hi Beerose , I believe that China now has increased a visa free of 1 month for foreigners instead of 14 days a few months ago, before then it was really hard to apply a Chinese visa in Australia. We joined two early tours designed for overseas Chinese by the Chinese Government in May last year when we really had to struggle applying for Chinese visa. We all admire how securely daily lives the Chinese government is able to provide for the people and hopefully the US can do the same, don't try to fool your people anymore don't try everendingly to create enemies as threat to the US year in and year out, make peace with all people in the world.
Congress needs to ban dishonest politicians 😂
Impossible. The Congress itself is very largely made up of arrogant, prejudiced and DISHONEST people.
I think it will be like Wechat where foreigners can comingle with the chinese communicate with an inbuilt translation software.
I tried using wechat but it didn't work I think I needed a Chinese number, I hope this app is made available outside of China 😊
@@ashishd380 I use wechat because i have a chinese penfriend in Shanghai. It was a bit tricky to convert from Mandarin language to english in the app ,but it works fine in english now.
@@ashishd380 No, we can definitely use WeChat in the US. Many people use WeChat in the US. It's commonly used in the Chinese-speaking community in the US, or people who are interested in that.
@ashishd380 You don't need a China's phone number. I am an American and I have installed Wechat with my US phone number.
Seeing the communication between Chinese and American creators is so heartwarming. Like one offering hot bowl of chicken soup and the other sharing their dumplings. Awwww…. 🥹
The old stone soup story. An excellent Chinese tale.
I hope the Red Note have English version.
Yeah! My app has a lot of English, but there are still a few things that are in Chinese
It has been updated and can be set to English version.
Thanks for this little breakdown.
The ball is now in China's court. Official statements from Beijing mostly express bafflement at this point. I hope they make the right choice.
Irony of irony. The more they try to suppress people they just incentivise people to look for alternatives. Ah the law of unintended consequences or put another way, KARMA ❤❤❤😂😂😂
karma indeed! thanks for watching!
Haha...it should be documented as a historic event...lol..
Yes, in life, what goes around comes around. If people in the US are racist, abusive, violent, bullying, and discriminatory towards loyal and beautiful Chinese Americans, then eventually, Chinese Americans will win out, and the racists (like almost everyone in some way) will be punished through karma, or what happens on its own in the universe.
History tells us that where there is oppression, there will be resistance.
Thank you for speaking for China. I've never fallen into that stupid propaganda against China and I've always defended them. It makes me really happy that the US will finally see the beauty of the Amazing China.
It makes me really happy, too~ Thanks so much for watching and for your support!
hard to believe that the most western people even thought chinese have credit score, incredible
Most actually believe it.
In the USA everything is about the interest of the businesspeople like Mark Zukerberg, Elon Musk etc. If any business harms them, the US government has an obligation to destroy the new toys. Americans are just puppets.
You mean social credit score.
@ There is no such system in China.
@@paulanderson7796 Perhaps you should try American Google.
You can be ambassador to promote culture indifferent .
no the US won't let it happen
To make things even funnier and also extremely practical, Rednote should implement a "refugee" option which the newcomers can receive specific helps in order to help them to adapte their new environment.
They actually have that! When you first log in, you'll find both Chinese and Western users ready to explain to "TikTok refugees" how the app works. It's VERY helpful.
yup they should also celebrate by having a happy refugee day with a black and white cat called Meow Chairman Meow!!! and hand out free gifts digitally and really rile up the idiots in the West... oh the irony of every freedom loving american begging to be accepted by Meows Likkle Red Book!!!
I love this idea!
There is news that Rednote is urgently developing an in-app translation feature, but please don't hold overly high expectations about your identity. It is still primarily an app designed to facilitate communication about various interests in a Chinese-speaking environment. Trust me, Chinese people generally don't like labeling anyone or anything to differentiate or treat them differently.
great idea
Dear Bee Rose: Another wonderful episode! Keep up the great work!
Brava! Thank you for speaking up for China
Always! Thanks for watching~
Excellent video Beerose ❤
*TO PROTECT NATIONAL SECURITY* means stopping kids from learning about the outside world - ESPECIALLY that Chinese people have very fast trains and FREE healthcare
Clean streets, clean subways, Women are safe to walk in public 24 Hours a day, in fact everyone is, no one who will steal your phone or bags. Trains and buses are on time with all being very affordable. Food is fresh and cheap etc.
exactly this
@@Ghengiskhansmum I live in Bulgaria now. Incredibly low crime. Brand new battery electric buses every 7 minutes to the city centre, unlimited travel for $16 a month. Most food is grown locally. We have busy thriving high streets - there is a 2 year waiting list for a shop in the city centre [my city is Burgas, its very beautiful]
Our trains are bad - they have not got around to fixing that yet.
I'll admit China probably has some awesome public transit, but why would I give up wanting to talk about the square or w.e. taboo subject comes up
Though I'd sell my left nut for high speed trains from Toronto to Montreal and Quebec city, and another train running north maybe Sudbury to Toronto going through my town of course
If we had that I'd legit just go to Quebec to get some poutine one day lol
healthcare is not free, but very affordable for most people.
If Little Red Book splits into an American vs. Chinese version, then the US government will force Little Red Book to sell the American version. However, if Little Red Book does NOT split, then the US government will NOT be able to force Little Red Book to sell.
It is great to have the perspective of someone living in China and showing China to all the world to see. The West brands China as a backward third world country making cheap products. They make themselves feel great by saying lots of Chinese want to come to the West, some definitely do. If it was not for you and other TH-camrs showing us your life in China we would never know.
You are amazing❤ I learn a lot from your speech!
Thank you for watching! I'm so glad you liked it!

Never used TikTok but the Redbook is awesome
So awesome!
Great video, love it. Keep going! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your support! There's more to come soon ✨
Thank you tell your experience to Americans
初步見到，開始需實名認證，視頻推薦的算法會有個溫和圈子。另聽聞外抖音也開放外國電話登記了。我在香港，中美都有登記。Atfirst it seen that real-name authentication is required at the beginning, and the video recommendation algorithm will have a gentle circle. I also heard that Douyin(China tiktok) has also opened registration for foreign phone numbers. I am live in Hong Kong, registered in China and the United States.
I personally checked today, and Douyin has opened registration for foreign numbers!

Growing up America you're taught that you're just better than everyone. I'm from Brazil and my whole life all people would say is "It's poor over there and dangerous" I own property there now and am planning on going back. Please explore out of your bubble. More Americans are seeing that now.
Long live the great unity of the people of the world
In 2024 China had Visa-free travel. In, 2025 Tik Tok banned, and the US Weber joined Red Note for communication between the two countries. We begin to see the light of peace ahead.
Wow, thanks for this very informative and helpful message.
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate your support! ✨
One of my favorite movies of all time is The Matrix. Looks some Americans are finally taking the red pill.
Gallagher, Cotton and those who vehemently trying to ban TikTok should realize that contents of these other Chinese apps (XiaoHongShu/RedNote) are comparatively a lot more “wholesome” than other available apps here in the US. People hide behind this but was not the real reason for the ban. Big tech driving out competition, and anti-China paranoia are two main reasons.
I am a retired Canadian and my wife was born in China. Last year I visited China for the first time and stayed for about 2 1/2 months. We had an amazing time. The people are very friendly and the scenery was breathtaking. The food was excellent; such variety, and the price was so much lower than here in Canada. I was a few pounds heaverier when I arived back home, but I am looking forward to my next visit.
RedNote makes America rose. Bee rose!👍🙏💪
I like option 3 too. I’m Chinese.
"insane in the best way" I like this!
New accounts are getting thousands of followers on day one. OMG. This is crazy.
Let the world unite
Use technology to help people understand each other for the good of humanity and the survival of this planet
@sleo3720 amen! This app will let everyone see the real China outside of the corporate media's portrayal of it and the West will make a Great Leap Forward because of it
I like your comments and your contributions without bias. Thank you
A world would be a better place with more voices heard from peace loving people like you. 🎉🎉🎉
Very well explained, let's hope for the 3rd option.
I'm proud of you BeeRose, you're great 👍
awww thank you so much for saying this 🥹 your support means the world to me!
"rebelion" 😂 nope. It's more like a tantrum
Xi Jinping emphasized that the hope of Sino-US relations lies in the people, the foundation lies in the people, and the future lies in the youth. He hopes that more Chinese and American youth will get to know each other, work together, become a new generation of envoys of friendship between the two countries, and continue to inject momentum into the development of Sino-US relations. I believe that the "US-China Youth Student Exchange Association" and all friends will continue to contribute to the friendly exchanges between Chinese and American youth and the stable development of bilateral relations.
I really like your idea of translation
Hey BeeRose... ❤Love and Best Wishes from Singapore! ❤
Just found out that you got account in RedNote as well...
hope you could "port/upload" most of your youtube videos into RedNote, I bet lots of American now can benefit hugely from your videos...
I know that you guys got baby to take care of... so take it easy, baby and family come first...
of course if possible make your youtube videos into "short and sweet" with main points only... lots of American or European are going to visit China I think....
Thank you so much for your support! We have plans to put a lot of content on RedNote this year~ I really appreciate your kind comment and advice. I'm so excited to share more with everyone on as many platforms as possible~ Stay tuned! Sending love and best wishes from Beijing! ✨
Thank you for welcoming us as a Chinese. You speak perfect English, though.🙂
🤣🤣🤣
哇 你的中文说的也好棒~
As a Chinese living in Shanghai, i want to be fair to say, China is still under development, although our country achieved great progress and is becoming leaders in many areas. There are lots looks positive, however might be lots to be continuously improved. Anyways this is a very safe country for sure
You are too demanding of China, go out and look at other countries, China has indeed far exceeded in many aspects
I really hope that they add translation features
They already have a copy feature to easily copy comments to go to google translate
But something that would be a good middle ground to the splitting is to have different tabs for western and Chinese content so being have the choice to interact with each other but makes it easy to see the content you want
Who else is tired of the McCarthyism?
China has it so why did you post this?
McCarthy was 100% correct.
@ 😂
@@stevenhenry5267 eh just tired of the whole red scare bs
But will American TikTokkers corrupt the nice culture of RedNote? Cause RedNote sounds like the original function of Douyin in the past, right? Im not American btw n dont use all these apps. Just curious n hopeful RedNote doesnt lose its educational culture. ❤
Hi Bee, as you spoke, XHS had been busily working on a translation service, so it means the app won't be separated, at least for now. Also, AFAIK, there's an international version that doesn't require ID (I think).
The only thing they've done is trade one set of chains for another. Golden chains are still chains.
I vote option 3❤❤❤❤
This content is great! You said "They" might split the app into two, why? I think the Chinese government may prefer the third option as this matches the same objective of 144/240 travel window. I hope the Chinese government has influence on this.
Originally, 小红书was a pocket size booklet containing famous quotes of Chainman Mao. You study it whenever you have a little spare time.
Is it not小紅書，IS紅寶書
在中国有两本小红书，如果你们想要了解世界的真相你们就要去寻找另一本，祝你好运！
very insightful! so much fun to see how tiktok and xiaohongshu evolve!
I don't live in China or the US nor do I claim to know much about XHS or about social media apps in general. But from the viewpoint of discussing geopolitics, I worry about this news tbh. How do we know for sure that the ban AND the influx of Tik Tok refugees, is NOT a calculated move by the US particularly by its intelligence to gather information and to get a good picture on things inside China including about public sentiment from Chinese netizens directly from a native app? (for example the news about US users asked Chinese users to show pictures of streets and daily life inside the country) Or worse, to foment false imaging about life in the West among Chinese netizens that could one day become seeds of a colored revolution? To think such a development is not going to be exploited by that intelligence apparatus is dangerously naive.
I can agree with BeeRose that this development is worth celebrating but only to a certain degree. But we always need to have a base assumption that the US is not stupid or short-sighted. We cannot wholly assume that this Congressional ban is a backfire or bungled move but there could very well be sophisticated and long term plans by the US. We need to be vigilant about that.
If the US government really cares about American interests, it is really possible. But after 20 years of observation, I found that most of the US overseas actions are completely against the US interests. People would say that the Gulf War was for Iraqi oil, but a large part of that oil was actually sold to China! The US government seems to What is really wanted is for the cost of rebuilding Iraq to be passed through Congress without oversight. The same is true for the Afghan war. The military expenditure of 2-3 trillion US dollars, if it is directly paid, is enough to buy every Afghan to live a rich life, but who will the money end up in? All this makes me wonder, the US government Acting only in the interests of the lobbying groups that provide campaign funds.
I don't hate the United States, and I don't want the United States to become weak. The best case scenario is that China, the United States and other countries compete with each other: who can bring more happiness to mankind.
@@g863210xie Thank you for the response. What you said and you have observed for the past 20 years is already a given truth that has been discussed by many people. The US is not a democracy, it is an oligarchy that has always served the rich and powerful ruling classes who have political connections (like the lobby groups, the military industrial complex, corporations, big Oil, Wall Street, Silicon Valley and so on) and not the ordinary American people. the key thing is the US has always been like that. It was founded on colonialism and imperialism, to conquer and take land and resources for extraction and profit. They did that to the Native Americans, then Black American slavery and later all the wars and interventions it has done for at least a century. The system is geared towards giving power and wealth to a very few while driving all its other citizens to poverty and misery. Keep in the mind this was the same US that was part of the Eight Nation Alliance (八国联军) that brought China down in the early 20th century. The US was always part of the Western powers that brought the 百年国耻. The 八国联军 still exist. The difference is the US was a junior partner then but now it leads them.
While it is nice to hope for the best scenario that you mentioned, I personally don't think the US and its allies (like Britain, the EU, Canada, Australia, Japan, Turkey, Israel and so on) can live in peace with China or the rest of the world. They don't want that happiness for mankind in the multipolar world that China wants. They want to dominate the world and suppress the rest of the world. That is what their political system wants and needs. Unless there are internal people's revolutions within the US and its allied countries to change the system, I don't necessarily see a nice scenario occurring. Maybe, just maybe the Americans who are now in Xiaohongshu may be the beginning of some revolutionary change. It's too early to say that. But can wait and see, I guess.
yeah, US is not one of the Visa free countries, but it can enjoy 10 day transit visa free, actually, like Russia. Australia, Japan and Korea, for example, can enjoy 30 day visa free now. Now it's bit unfair for long term settlers like yourself, because now refugees take priority lol
after 1 day i already got banned by posting a picture if Pooh bear
This should be true. But I feel sad for Xi Jinping. A few years ago, he appeared at a Beijing snack bar to buy food, and people on the Internet immediately mocked him for putting on a show. The Chinese government is very shocked that so many people are dissatisfied with the government. Soon, similar methods of mocking Xi Jinping were banned on the Internet. But I think the least free person in China is probably Xi Jinping. If he does not step down, he will never be able to walk on the streets and live like a normal person in his entire life.
sorry,I post many pooh bear picture and Tom cat😂😂😂，we president don't care that
@@王安澜-m1u 😄
🥰😍thank you for this. I have just joined and i agree totally
Xiaohongshu was only a well-known platform before TikTok refugees entered, and now many Chinese have also settled in Xiaohongshu with TikTok refugees, and I am one of them. I'm 28 years old, and I've worked in investigative journalism, coding, and Steam games, and I've traveled most of China. I want to meet more foreign friends, welcome to leave a message to me, in return I can teach you how to use these Chinese applications better.
There's that word again. Backfired. It's like a script or something
China's official news reported this matter, and I can tell you clearly that this shows that the government supports this matter. I have heard many people say that the Chinese government is not willing to communicate between the two peoples. Why don't you guess why China suddenly went crazy for unilateral visa exemption in recent years?
great vclip,thanks for uploading,keep the good work up❤
Currently， Rednote only requires an overseas mobile number to create an account.
Love you Bee❤️❤️
The visa free period is for 30days now I think.
It’s funny to see you do gesture 6 in Chinese way when you speak in English.
Long live the great ordinary people
Thank you for sharing your information of China. Information, knowledge, sharing truth, goodness, progresses, etc. are power; going forward. Garlic, Tiktok are no threat to USA!
Super news. Rejoice 🤞
your hand gesture for 6 is so Chinese "liu"
this trend seems familiar for people born after 80s cz it just likes the beginning of the bbs, blog platforms when people could discuss anything lively and rationally.
Bee - you have Risen.
I am not an american or in america and i dont even use tik tok.. today i downloaded the red note app 😁
Welcome to Rednote! 😊
I think 1. is most likely to happen due to probagabda and bad actors will inevitable work their way into the app and ruin it for everyone. Which is a reall bummer because I like option 3 the best as well.
Only time will tell! Thanks for your support, and thanks for watching!
I think the Chinese government is more confident now. They might use this opportunity to open up a little. They'll just restrict certain political content like any other platforms.
I’m loving this connection
