The average ability of these interviewees to think critically vs. What you’d expect to see from the average American… you can make your own conclusions
I dont know man... 1:45 some dont seem to notice the irony of living in a country that bans literally every single western app there is ; youtube, facebook, X, bluesky, instagram and even the international version of tiktok is banned but hey lets criticize the US for banning a tool of the chinese propaganda.
These people understand that questions of issues like freedom of speech and public security are nuanced. Everything isn't a battle of good and evil. If these people represent average young citizens in China, I believe that the country will do very well.
Because asians take pride in educations and are mostly studious, it is opposite in the west if you are too serious you are not cool and dont learn. Nerds are minority n social outcasts in the west but they are adored n popular in asia
Seeing the Chinese still trying to be "neutral" in this interview. And how they responded in XHS it self, it's clear to me that Chinese (in average & generally speaking) is far more intellect and kind.
more intellect, yes. Kind? that really depends. Society influence the people greatly when measuring their kindness. If you are in a vicious society like the US where the police are brutal, criminals runs certain parts of the cities and the gov are conducting non stop wars, then people will be less kind. China is safe and the gov always talks about boring issues such as development and economics. It becomes a high trust society centered around economic development which requires more intellect to survive.
Keep in mind that they are interviewing people in a very well off capital city. All of the people interviewed are likely above the poverty line and are well educated etc. It's not like interviewing Americans from the appalachian trail.

This is the first time I have felt hopeful in a long time about overcoming stereotypes and breaking down cultural barriers. Americans often can't tell the difference between the government and its people so often demonize people of Chinese descent in the US. Hope Americans continue to be on Xiaohongshu (as long as they aren't trolling on there) and this cultural exchange and curiosity continues
I'm a vietnamese guy born and living in Canada. Me and a chinese girl I met online yesterday, spoke about it and we both agree that one of the good things that came out of it is now, the propagandas against asians will be destroyed. I've been saying for years about US hypocrisy (due to my knowledge about the Vietnam War, the events that occured, the misconceptions of kill count that many americans have, which they often use to feed their ego cuz they don't understand the nature of the war itself that was North vs South Vietnam fought mainly by VIETNAMESE 🤯 and also how testimonies of real american veterans on VN war get shadow banned, literally some random youtubers glazing US will get more views than real voice of REAL US VET, even some italian cook who claimed to be a vn vet 💀) Oh ye, the reason why I studied about the VN war is cuz a white girl at elementary school was thaught by her parents that my people are evil because they fought US, so we were the "villains". Got my arab and indian friend whom sonewhat alienated me for a while because of different factors, which phenotype is always at play. They ask questions like "do you think you asians are racist?" "why you asians don't mix with other race?" (I translate, we were speaking in french) I answered "there's racist people everywhere around the globe" and "Bro, you could say the same things for other race: black, white, desi, latinos often hang out with each other, not just asians doing that" I highly suspect the reason they ask me that is cuz they into asian girls and want to talk to them. Well just talk to them, if they not into you, move on yk. Or else, they would've asked same questions about other "race".
The average Western media consumer knows very little about China including its government and why it is immensely popular with the Chinese citizens, but they can all tell you about Xinjiang, Tibet, Taiwan and Hongkong, without any understanding of the background.
So much this!!! I've seen so many weird videos on youtube with Americans acting like the CCP has the entire nation brainwashed or something. It's so weird!
@@cyansadventures I live in Australia and they only covered the HK riots for about a week and have mentioned nothing since. It's such a shame. I really thought that global media would help Hong Kong become even more independent and I have no idea why they just completely dropped it.
Ive loved using Rednote over this month. I prefer it over TikTok. While I will miss some of the content, I feel more fulfilled and happier with the RedNote platform. Ive been fascinated with the conversations of daily life and the focus on being civil, unlike Western social media.
Tiktok has a good way of keeping users only on Tiktok. Qith the bann users have open the blinds. I found way to many tiktokers to get all their information only from Tiktok. Red Note was available to U.S since before the ban.
Just to everyone who is not Chinese. I need to clear up this propaganda. No one in china calls maos book "little red book" thats will be a disgrace to Mao's book. "Little red book" in chinese has no correlation, "red" simply mean trendy and 🔥 said by the CEO when she started the company in 2013. All this is simply from some westerner who has no idea on chinese nor wants to do any research.
"People are people, and they're separated from the government" But for chinese people they really have been enabled so much by their central government for the past 40 years, it would be very disingenuous to say that their government didn't do good for them, and tbh, a lot of the bad things that people are fed by the western media have an agenda behind. Their trust in their government is all time high, and you can see that they're very fast at solving problems and making public infrastructure. A lot of people here in the west just dismiss CPC political system without looking into it to see how it really works for the citizens; people just go bogus thinking "IT'S A DICTATORSHIP; EVERYBODY IS CORRUPT; NO DEMOCRACY; XIJINGPING EMPEROR FOR LIFE".
The difference between tiktok and google is that the former vice president of Google and the person in charge of China publicly clarified that， the China government's policy towards Google has not changed (independent server, icp, content, etc.), and Google once met these regulations and entered China, but later Google refused to continue to abide by them, and Google withdrew from China by itself. for tiktok， The difference is that the U.S. government did not provide any evidence, and directly demanded compulsory acquisition +45-day period+intermediate fee, which is completely different from the way the China government treated Google.
Tik Tok quietly changed its algorithm as per TT users to get the reprieve. whether to sell 50% is up to TT and China. TT was the only platform where you got unfiltered news on Gaza, which angered the tiny hat people.
Not only that the US forced their social media companies to help them spy on other countries, including presidents. I remember when snowden leaked that even the president of my country got spied by them. They acuse others to do what they do. Its like when a partner cheats and become very paranoid that their partner is also cheating

@ ... That is the paradox, If there is a lie that has never been discovered than nobody would know about it. I have no idea why you're being so rude about it. You've just stumbled upon an ancient roman paradox. The modern version is Schrodinger's cat.
The interviewees' quality was very commendable even after assuming they represented the above-average mass. Knowledgeable, objective, confident and articulate, Many developed countries with a fraction of China's population are not able to match. Indeed an education miracle with 1.4 billion people.
Intelligent and thoughtful responses. How refreshing! Do the same interviewer in the west and see how quickly it devolves into hate and politics. The difference is night and day.
It has to do with the channel intent as well. Asian Boss tend to be more neutral on their interview selection, never too positive or negative about any issues. However, negativity earn clicks in the English sphere. That's why a lot of western interview videos emphasized extreme answers.
I love that asian countries are more selective with what they say and how they say it. Respectfully..... Because of their culture and governments, they are well spoken and well behaved for the most part.
The yellow jacket guy doesn't know what he was talking about. First, China did not ban any US platform. Those US platforms chose to quit CN market on their own. Google, FB, etc. were all accessible prior to the negotiation. The US platforms refused to set local servers in China and fulfill the obligations of censorships on terrorism, which FB had massively aided the separatism spreading all over in Xinjiang during the massacre. Hence corporations asked by CN government. But CIA funded US platforms had obligations otherwise. So they rather chose to quit. One the other hand, TikTok bases its servers totally in the US, has Oracle help monitor its database on behalf of the US government, totally obeys FBI/CIA obligations. Yet it still threatens US national security, because the Singaporean CEO is a suspected CCP spy. LMAO.😂😂🤣Nah, because it challenges the US media monopoly. Because it is free of US propagandas. Because it does not help capitalism brainwash the people. Because it helps reveal the true problem of the US not being left vs right, but TOP vs BOTTOM.
Correction: China did not ban YT, Google etc. That's a misconception. They withdrew their presence from China due to compliance with the country's laws issues.
In this TikTok refugee exchange, Chinese netizens indeed gained a deeper understanding of the United States. However, what shocked them the most was the endurance of the American middle and lower classes. Phenomena such as lunch loans, high-interest student loans, making a living by selling blood, and exorbitant medical costs-any one of these would cause a huge uproar in China. Faced with these issues, Americans not only do not resist but can even endure them silently.
despite the rhetoric, many western countries haven't had a history of successful protest. The french revolution or the bolshevik revolution is the few that made it to the history book. Most western rulers are toppled by foreign adversaries, not their own people. This is very different than China where the people often plays the biggest role when toppling established rulers.
The wealthy capitalists have brainwashed Americans to believe if you haven't succeeded in life it's YOUR fault, you were too lazy, didn't work hard enough or made bad decisions. They don't tell anyone that you aren't supposed to succeed.
The West made use of "soft power" - radio, movies, comics, books, magazines, newspapers, etc - to indoctrinate their people - brainwash - them into believing that they have a country that is as good as it gets and anything else that is different, is bad. They have been doing this for a very long time, as far back as the 1800s while picking up speed and distribution in the World War years (WW1 and WW2) and carrying on after that in their British Movietone films and then, Hollywood. They also start indoctrinating their children from a very young age in kindergarten all the way through to college (reciting the pledge to the Constitution and saluting the flag, singing the national anthem at every event and opportunity, etc, etc), basically turning their people into sheep. Whenever they choose someone to be their president for the next 4 years, you'd think their adulation of the leader should be reserved for an emperor or a pope or some demi-god. The U.S. and the U.K. loves to talk about the "evils of authoritarian dictatorships" and how they control their people by brainwashing them when in reality, the U.S. has become like those that they despise themselves and suppresses their own people from carrying out a real revolution by hyping up their nationalistic fervour in creating "enemies" and "threats" elsewhere - and are very fast to use force in suppressing any efforts to create an underground revolutionary movement. HOWEVER, after saying all that, there has been PLENTY of rebellions in the U.S. Have a look at the whole list of rebellions and revolts in the U.S. in wikipedia (wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rebellions_in_the_United_States) The American Revolution was not the ONLY effort in revolting against a government.
@@荆十一 What I want to know is whether or not the CCP, govt actually locked people in their apartment buildings durin C'19 and if China and Taiwan relations are all just U.S propaganda? Is Taiwanese pro independence stance just a lie? And why do Hongkong protest the CCP?
just to clarify one thing, the arguement that because China bans Facebook TH-cam etc. so it is okay for US to ban Tiktok is totally invalid, because China bans Tiktok too, China is consistent with their regulation, whatever platforms and social media that wants to operate in China must follow their law and requirement, even though Tiktok is made in China it doesnt gives them any privilege. Meanwhile US has self-contradict rules and regulation, no one really know how to entertain them, however, China has made their requirement more strict in recent years, when Google was negotiating with China, China only require Google to set up separate Data Base in Chinese soil, this generousity wont happen today because China would demand a different version of Google specifically designed and operate independently in China
You are right, quote from Wikipedia "a majority of apps and websites blocked are the result of the companies not willing to follow the Chinese government's internet regulations on data collection and privacy, user-safety, guidelines and the type of content being shared, posted or hosted."
Exactly, the west is all about hypocrisy and double standards. Aren’t they always exporting about “freedom”, “open speech”, “capitalism”? Only to continuously create internal import bans and censor what they don’t like?
Add one point: The difference between tiktok and google is that the former vice president of Google and the person in charge of China publicly clarified that， the China government's policy towards Google has not changed (independent server, icp, content, etc.), and Google once met these regulations and entered China, but later Google refused to continue to abide by them, and Google withdrew from China by itself. for tiktok， The difference is that the U.S. government did not provide any evidence, and directly demanded compulsory acquisition +45-day period+intermediate fee, which is completely different from the way the China government treated Google.
i always find it laughable when us americans, judge chyna for allowing bans of american companies, when us americans are always talking about how much shady biz google, facebook, y2b is doing with our data, and cnsrship and monopolies. knowing all that would you allow those co in YOUR country if you owned it yourself? i as hell wouldn't
google, meta didn't want to operate in china under chinese laws so they left.... but tiktok done everything by u.s laws and still they're forced out... that's the difference
Ironically, the rednote community was originally hedonistic, bourgeois and pro-Western. After communicating with ordinary people in the United States, they were shocked and felt that the work of the Chinese government in recent years was not easy, but effective. They were now transformed into staunch patriots.😂😂😂
China blocks some websites because they are not following China rule. quote from Wikipedia "a majority of apps and websites blocked are the result of the companies not willing to follow the Chinese government's internet regulations on data collection and privacy, user-safety, guidelines and the type of content being shared, posted or hosted."
China is a nation of science technology engineering math/medicine. They also excel in the olympics. Their infrastructure and technology is 2nd to none.
I was really shocked to see the American people showing their miserable lives on Xiaohongshu these days. And I also admire the endurance of Americans. There was no revolution in this situation???
American people are raised on patriotism and the idea of American Exceptionalism, that America is somehow essentially different from all other countries, with more freedom, democracy and equal social mobility. Anyone questioning that narrative is accused of being "anti-American". Very few Americans follow news from other countries or travel to other parts of the world. So most of them believe the propaganda that they've all been raised on.
A lot of Americans who joined rednote are chronically online and are out of touch with reality... And they have a problem for every solution you give them
@@AG-ev3hj No, many Americans say they work hard to survive, but the days are still hard. When tens of thousands of comments say that, do you think I believe it or not? Americans really live a hard life? Are they all deceiving me?
That was super interesting. I'm learning Mandarin, but most of this conversation was beyond my level and I needed the English subtitles. I have noticed when I joined up Xiaohongshu the week before the TikTok ban happened, that Americans were very excited, but mostly put their comments only in English. I think that pretty quickly I saw many people writing in English but then using Google Translate to put their same comment just below in Chinese. That seems more respectful, and frankly, for Americans, that is really surprising. Many Americans are adamantly unilingual and don't want to learn other languages, demanding everyone speak English in America. I am Canadian, and my son is adopted from China (now a young adult), and I loved when I visited China to get him. It is really nice to see this sudden surprising opening between American youth and Chinese youth. I watched this because I was very curious how Chinese people feel about their app suddenly being flooded with foreigners. I did see some Chinese away from home in other countries very upset that their home away from home on Xiaohongshu was flooded with all these American anglophones, how they become so very interesting just because they are American. And they really worry that the US government will ban Xiaohongshu, and they will lose their main way of keeping in touch with Chinese friends and family at home in China. Thank you for doing these interviews!
As a Chinese who uses a VPN to surf the Internet, I would like to express my views on the global Internet. On the surface, global social media such as Google, Facebook, and Instagram allow people from different countries around the world to use it, but in essence, the legal rules and public opinion of these social media The orientation and cultural values are dominated by a small number of European and American developed countries, especially English-speaking countries. Other non-European and American developed countries have almost no say. They can only adapt to the rules and values of these platforms. Essentially, the Chinese government’s establishment of the Great Firewall does not want the Chinese people, especially those who are not educated enough to be easily incited, to be protected from the influence of public opinion and culture in these Western developed countries. Because before the Chinese government established the Great Firewall, the global social media dominated by the United States was full of fake news about China and hate speech that endangered the stable development of Chinese society.
This this this this this. I'm a Westerner living in China for almost 20 years. I've long understood this. Remember a few years back when everyone in China was angry with Japan (I think the Prime Minister visited the war heroes monument) and started attacking Japanese cars, people with Japanese cameras and Lawsons? That's what the government has to manage - a very large number of people who can be easily incited and reactive. I live in Shanghai, a big developed city where pretty much everyone has a great capacity for reasoning and discernment. But it's not like this everywhere (you see the same in the US, the difference in mentality from one place to another). The other thing about the firewall is that the government does not want large scale communication on servers which they have no control over - rendering them unable to stop misinformation. The Chinese government has a different approach to many Western governments, but different does not mean inherently "wrong". And looking at the state of the world...well, I can tell you that I feel VERY lucky to be living here!
Yup, those countries are masters of propaganda and manupilation, and they utilize online policies, algorithms, etc. for such purposes. They create civil unrest on various countries through such methods. I am in neither of those regions but i recognize how a "western" centric world-view is being pushed so hard by their media.
Just one correction, those “global” apps are not global. They are American apps. They are just dominant in western and pro-west countries (which do not represent the entire world). But they are still American companies. Agree with the rest
My understanding is that Google (and other Western Apps) left China due to Google (and other Western Apps) did not wish to follow the laws of China nor keep the data of Chinese in China; TT was fully complying the laws of US and stored all Amercians' data in America. Thus, it was not "equal ban". TTRs were, at beginning, protesting by going to a Chinese App which was only for Chinese -- they rather hit the "language wall" than using the American Apps.
I went through all of this when Biden won. I find it so ironic. I learned Mandarin, learned about the culture (good and bad) and history, spoke with real people, made friends, and watched their media. Now I can talk to them when I meet them randomly on games. There is definitely a honeymoon period where the grass seems greener--they definitely have more than a few great accomplishments, but overall what is most shocking is how far Western countries have fallen behind every country--not just one. I'm glad we're all on the same page now.
China is not a communist country, China is a socialist country, but communism is the goal pursued by the Chinese government. Communist China is a perfectionist society that emphasizes the distribution of social wealth according to people's needs. More equal rights for everyone! This is very difficult to achieve, it may take hundreds of years or impossible to achieve! The Chinese government practises democratic centralism in politics, with the central government formulating national strategies and implementing them! The Communist Party leads the central government, the economy practices a socialist market economy, and industries related to the people's livelihood are invested and operated by the state. Such as water and electricity, medical care, education, pension insurance, infrastructure construction and so on! Others are run by private companies. There are public and private social media, but they must be regulated by Chinese law and cannot post on social media to promote legally prohibited activities such as drugs, pornography, guns and so on. Do not advocate the overthrow of China's political system! In fact, as long as Chinese laws and regulations are complied with, China welcomes foreign social media to do business in China. The Foreign Ministry just issued a statement on this a few days ago. Google did business in China before, but because Google was unwilling to comply with Chinese laws and regulations, the company itself withdrew from the Chinese market! As for freedom of speech, in the thousands of years of Chinese history, our common people have been pursuing stability, development, and prosperity! Only with stability can development be achieved, and ordinary people can live a good life! So the Chinese political system is designed with this goal in mind! The scope of freedom of speech in China is not to cause major shocks and chaos to the stability of this society! For example, we should not advocate the overthrow of the existing political system, or violence and chaos. You can make well-meaning fact-based criticisms of the government! The Chinese government will hear your voice and improve, the Chinese government has many channels to receive your criticism! But attacks and smears based on ideology will not be accepted.
As you say, the current CCP government is quite efficient and consistent in applying their policies. However, there is no guarantee policies will continue to be fair and consistently implemented once a new chairman takes charge. The problem with CCP system is there's little check and balance, and too much power is rested with few people at the top.
@@hoaihuong my friend, it is CPC. And as long as society functions with a home, enough food and a view to bettering themselves, they're not concerned about top of the power tree.
I really appreciate these on-the-ground perspectives of things, and just wanted to say that the guy at 3:05 has such a good way of giving an opinion as well as stepping back for an objective take in a lot of what he goes over. Brilliant work as always!!
Unfortunately, that guy was misinformed about the actual situation. For instance, Google was not banned by the Chinese government; rather, it chose not to comply with Chinese laws regarding content filtering, leading to its exit from the Chinese market. In contrast, TikTok has not violated any American laws. Its ban was motivated by political reasons. That's a big difference between the two cases.
@@Ataratahot About Google in China if it's not a sort of ban, what is it?! As a Chinese, I can't agreed with you. Let’s be objective and honest. So Please list the foreign online platforms or app that can be used in China!
@pollymagoopou Yes. Let's be honest and let's stick to the facts. Banning something meaning it is a government initiative to stop a business operation, which never happened to google in China. Google disagreed with Chinese government content filtering and decided to close its office and service in China. This is the fact and you can check out the Wiki to confirm that. TikTok was actually banned by US government and it cannot operate even without voilation of law. Regarding operational US apps and services, yes, you can use Bing, you can use hotmail, you can use Apple store, Many international software companies continue to have huge customer base in China.
These people talk of social media as a reference tool for finding information about lifestyles, celebrities, cooking techniques, medical conditions etc. Not unreasonable, actually.
I came to 小红书 three or four months ago, to watch 尚雯婕 and 朱丹's lifestreams and learn more about the daily life in China. I was so confused to see so many Americans all of the sudden and was a little bit sad cuz I came to this app to see China not America. But soon I realized what good opportunity this was for the western world to finally see that China is not like the media portrays it to be.
I am a bit curious also why 小红书 was so easy for Americans to access because for most Chinese apps you need a Chinese phone number and for some you need a Chinese ID. I feel like this is an opening up of China in a new way.
Because Xiaohongshu（Rednote) was originally a website mainly engaged in cross-border e-commerce, it allowed global users to register from the very beginning.
If X were to do something like TikTok does in the US - set up a branch in China, create a Chinese version, and operate in compliance with Chinese laws - there would be absolutely no problem. If X allocates some shares to China, it would be even better
And X need employ a British as its CEO of Chinese business who will be questioned by Chinese officers. Such as Mr Smiths, are you an American? Mr Smiths, are you a member of Republican or Democratic?
X has too many political contents on it. According to my experience on X, a guy speaking Chinese is whether a nswf publisher or one who loves talking politics (most anti-CPC and China). As for rednote, it just deletes most political contents.
It's interesting that a lot ppl think Chinese common citizen have more indepent or critical thinking than average ppl in Westen world. I think the reason might be we know the press and the TVs are highly controlled, not trustworthy, so we will doubt a lot of things in our life. Then it comes the indepent thinking. Just like a old saying from Laozi(Taoism): "The Shepherd lost his horse, who knows it's not a bless."
I have loved my experience on red note, I feel that this is what a social media site being used by civilized people should be. This is not even bringing up the superior UI compared to instagram or Facebook.
Great video What I do find funny are the subtitles haha They seem so sterile. I dont speak a Chinese language so I have no idea what the translation process must be like. When I do the same for Portuguese, my translations often to have the same sterility. Shout out to the translators doing their best
The translation is pretty spot on. Their opinions aren't sterile, mayabe you didn't watch the whole thing. Their opinions are very sophisticated, which is something you won't get from Americans nowadays.
Hi, just a humble request to Asian Boss (as a long-time loyal subscriber): love this video 👍🏼👏🏼. What’s the possibility of adding Chinese caption, too?
no it was actually "you have freedom of opinions but not choices"....that was the comment a rednote user gave to a tt refugee after comparing notes on healthcare/education/taxation/safety etc.
@@diehardAMD No one is jealous. Chinese people can tolerate homosexuality, but they are not willing to carry out massive publicity like foreign countries! This is also why the lesbian in the video prefers foreign countries!
Can’t understand why Chinese so naive about why U.S. wants to ban tic tok. They do not want people exposing the genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza supported by US
that is what I am saying.. it is so predictable that TikTok is different since it came back. Of course it is gonna be different, do people really believe that the government will allow it to keep showing things against their propaganda and exposing their crimes? it doesn’t matter if it shows its gratefulness towards Trump to its users. It’s a deal that has already been made behind the scene. BTW, 这里面我还是熟悉一点点的哈，在大陆确实不是所有人都知道Tiktok和美国政府在Gaza这种阴暗层面的事情，如果仅仅是中美竞争，以及所谓的“担心数据泄漏”还可以理解，或者可以看作是小题大做。但是Gaza这个问题，说穿了就是太严重了，美国首先不会承认，国内官方口径也不可能就这样官方定性。所以一般人想不到这点也是可以理解的。反过来看，rednote refugees也只是拿Chinese spy开玩笑，谁敢真得说是因为Gaza，TikTok才被封得呢？
It's not banned and its based in China... Who knows whether it would be banned if Trump doesn't like it? Banning it probably would need to build a 'wall'🙄
@sheehyjessica1991 Like Americans already making fun of RedNote and Chinese. Like we're the victim here?? Like those woke folks have been bullying artists. Someone got so feed up she made a post calling them out
but the seed has been planted. Many western narratives has been broken and the impression will stay among those that has browsed rednote. Some will become permanent rednote user and the information gate will still be larger compared to the time before the migration. Tiktok will still be banned in the US in the coming month, there no question about it, there will be a second wave if rednote is not banned in the US.
This video should really be sponsored by Rednote 😂

Seeing the Chinese still trying to be "neutral" in this interview. And how they responded in XHS it self, it's clear to me that Chinese (in average & generally speaking) is far more intellect and kind.
more intellect, yes. Kind? that really depends. Society influence the people greatly when measuring their kindness. If you are in a vicious society like the US where the police are brutal, criminals runs certain parts of the cities and the gov are conducting non stop wars, then people will be less kind. China is safe and the gov always talks about boring issues such as development and economics. It becomes a high trust society centered around economic development which requires more intellect to survive.
Keep in mind that they are interviewing people in a very well off capital city.
All of the people interviewed are likely above the poverty line and are well educated etc. It's not like interviewing Americans from the appalachian trail.

This is the first time I have felt hopeful in a long time about overcoming stereotypes and breaking down cultural barriers. Americans often can't tell the difference between the government and its people so often demonize people of Chinese descent in the US. Hope Americans continue to be on Xiaohongshu (as long as they aren't trolling on there) and this cultural exchange and curiosity continues
I feel more often than not the elite's M.O. is to keep people divided by instigating resentment between a country's native people & foreigners.
I'm a vietnamese guy born and living in Canada. Me and a chinese girl I met online yesterday, spoke about it and we both agree that one of the good things that came out of it is now, the propagandas against asians will be destroyed.
I've been saying for years about US hypocrisy (due to my knowledge about the Vietnam War, the events that occured, the misconceptions of kill count that many americans have, which they often use to feed their ego cuz they don't understand the nature of the war itself that was North vs South Vietnam fought mainly by VIETNAMESE 🤯 and also how testimonies of real american veterans on VN war get shadow banned, literally some random youtubers glazing US will get more views than real voice of REAL US VET, even some italian cook who claimed to be a vn vet 💀)
Oh ye, the reason why I studied about the VN war is cuz a white girl at elementary school was thaught by her parents that my people are evil because they fought US, so we were the "villains".
Got my arab and indian friend whom sonewhat alienated me for a while because of different factors, which phenotype is always at play. They ask questions like
"do you think you asians are racist?"
"why you asians don't mix with other race?" (I translate, we were speaking in french)
I answered "there's racist people everywhere around the globe" and "Bro, you could say the same things for other race: black, white, desi, latinos often hang out with each other, not just asians doing that"
I highly suspect the reason they ask me that is cuz they into asian girls and want to talk to them. Well just talk to them, if they not into you, move on yk. Or else, they would've asked same questions about other "race".

The difference between tiktok and google is that the former vice president of Google and the person in charge of China publicly clarified that， the China government's policy towards Google has not changed (independent server, icp, content, etc.), and Google once met these regulations and entered China, but later Google refused to continue to abide by them, and Google withdrew from China by itself. for tiktok， The difference is that the U.S. government did not provide any evidence, and directly demanded compulsory acquisition +45-day period+intermediate fee, which is completely different from the way the China government treated Google.
Tik Tok quietly changed its algorithm as per TT users to get the reprieve. whether to sell 50% is up to TT and China.
TT was the only platform where you got unfiltered news on Gaza, which angered the tiny hat people.
Not only that the US forced their social media companies to help them spy on other countries, including presidents. I remember when snowden leaked that even the president of my country got spied by them.

It has to do with the channel intent as well. Asian Boss tend to be more neutral on their interview selection, never too positive or negative about any issues. However, negativity earn clicks in the English sphere. That's why a lot of western interview videos emphasized extreme answers.

The yellow jacket guy doesn't know what he was talking about.
First, China did not ban any US platform. Those US platforms chose to quit CN market on their own. Google, FB, etc. were all accessible prior to the negotiation. The US platforms refused to set local servers in China and fulfill the obligations of censorships on terrorism, which FB had massively aided the separatism spreading all over in Xinjiang during the massacre. Hence corporations asked by CN government. But CIA funded US platforms had obligations otherwise. So they rather chose to quit.
One the other hand, TikTok bases its servers totally in the US, has Oracle help monitor its database on behalf of the US government, totally obeys FBI/CIA obligations. Yet it still threatens US national security, because the Singaporean CEO is a suspected CCP spy. LMAO.😂😂🤣Nah, because it challenges the US media monopoly. Because it is free of US propagandas. Because it does not help capitalism brainwash the people. Because it helps reveal the true problem of the US not being left vs right, but TOP vs BOTTOM.

In this TikTok refugee exchange, Chinese netizens indeed gained a deeper understanding of the United States. However, what shocked them the most was the endurance of the American middle and lower classes. Phenomena such as lunch loans, high-interest student loans, making a living by selling blood, and exorbitant medical costs-any one of these would cause a huge uproar in China. Faced with these issues, Americans not only do not resist but can even endure them silently.
despite the rhetoric, many western countries haven't had a history of successful protest. The french revolution or the bolshevik revolution is the few that made it to the history book. Most western rulers are toppled by foreign adversaries, not their own people. This is very different than China where the people often plays the biggest role when toppling established rulers.
The wealthy capitalists have brainwashed Americans to believe if you haven't succeeded in life it's YOUR fault, you were too lazy, didn't work hard enough or made bad decisions. They don't tell anyone that you aren't supposed to succeed.

The West made use of "soft power" - radio, movies, comics, books, magazines, newspapers, etc - to indoctrinate their people - brainwash - them into believing that they have a country that is as good as it gets and anything else that is different, is bad. They have been doing this for a very long time, as far back as the 1800s while picking up speed and distribution in the World War years (WW1 and WW2) and carrying on after that in their British Movietone films and then, Hollywood.
They also start indoctrinating their children from a very young age in kindergarten all the way through to college (reciting the pledge to the Constitution and saluting the flag, singing the national anthem at every event and opportunity, etc, etc), basically turning their people into sheep. Whenever they choose someone to be their president for the next 4 years, you'd think their adulation of the leader should be reserved for an emperor or a pope or some demi-god.
The U.S. and the U.K. loves to talk about the "evils of authoritarian dictatorships" and how they control their people by brainwashing them when in reality, the U.S. has become like those that they despise themselves and suppresses their own people from carrying out a real revolution by hyping up their nationalistic fervour in creating "enemies" and "threats" elsewhere - and are very fast to use force in suppressing any efforts to create an underground revolutionary movement.
HOWEVER, after saying all that, there has been PLENTY of rebellions in the U.S. Have a look at the whole list of rebellions and revolts in the U.S. in wikipedia (wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rebellions_in_the_United_States)

@@荆十一 What I want to know is whether or not the CCP, govt actually locked people in their apartment buildings durin C'19 and if China and Taiwan relations are all just U.S propaganda? Is Taiwanese pro independence stance just a lie? And why do Hongkong protest the CCP?
just to clarify one thing, the arguement that because China bans Facebook TH-cam etc. so it is okay for US to ban Tiktok is totally invalid, because China bans Tiktok too, China is consistent with their regulation, whatever platforms and social media that wants to operate in China must follow their law and requirement, even though Tiktok is made in China it doesnt gives them any privilege. Meanwhile US has self-contradict rules and regulation, no one really know how to entertain them, however, China has made their requirement more strict in recent years, when Google was negotiating with China, China only require Google to set up separate Data Base in Chinese soil, this generousity wont happen today because China would demand a different version of Google specifically designed and operate independently in China
You are right, quote from Wikipedia "a majority of apps and websites blocked are the result of the companies not willing to follow the Chinese government's internet regulations on data collection and privacy, user-safety, guidelines and the type of content being shared, posted or hosted."
Exactly, the west is all about hypocrisy and double standards. Aren’t they always exporting about “freedom”, “open speech”, “capitalism”? Only to continuously create internal import bans and censor what they don’t like?
Add one point: The difference between tiktok and google is that the former vice president of Google and the person in charge of China publicly clarified that， the China government's policy towards Google has not changed (independent server, icp, content, etc.), and Google once met these regulations and entered China, but later Google refused to continue to abide by them, and Google withdrew from China by itself. for tiktok， The difference is that the U.S. government did not provide any evidence, and directly demanded compulsory acquisition +45-day period+intermediate fee, which is completely different from the way the China government treated Google.

@@rap3208 Ok, this is brainwashing.
American people are raised on patriotism and the idea of American Exceptionalism, that America is somehow essentially different from all other countries, with more freedom, democracy and equal social mobility.

So most of them believe the propaganda that they've all been raised on.

@@AG-ev3hj No, many Americans say they work hard to survive, but the days are still hard. When tens of thousands of comments say that, do you think I believe it or not? Americans really live a hard life? Are they all deceiving me?
That was super interesting. I'm learning Mandarin, but most of this conversation was beyond my level and I needed the English subtitles. I have noticed when I joined up Xiaohongshu the week before the TikTok ban happened, that Americans were very excited, but mostly put their comments only in English. I think that pretty quickly I saw many people writing in English but then using Google Translate to put their same comment just below in Chinese. That seems more respectful, and frankly, for Americans, that is really surprising. Many Americans are adamantly unilingual and don't want to learn other languages, demanding everyone speak English in America. I am Canadian, and my son is adopted from China (now a young adult), and I loved when I visited China to get him. It is really nice to see this sudden surprising opening between American youth and Chinese youth.
I watched this because I was very curious how Chinese people feel about their app suddenly being flooded with foreigners. I did see some Chinese away from home in other countries very upset that their home away from home on Xiaohongshu was flooded with all these American anglophones, how they become so very interesting just because they are American. And they really worry that the US government will ban Xiaohongshu, and they will lose their main way of keeping in touch with Chinese friends and family at home in China.

Using VPN in China is not illegal. It is what you do, what you publish,... that leads your connection banned.
As a Chinese who uses a VPN to surf the Internet, I would like to express my views on the global Internet. On the surface, global social media such as Google, Facebook, and Instagram allow people from different countries around the world to use it, but in essence, the legal rules and public opinion of these social media The orientation and cultural values are dominated by a small number of European and American developed countries, especially English-speaking countries. Other non-European and American developed countries have almost no say. They can only adapt to the rules and values of these platforms. Essentially, the Chinese government’s establishment of the Great Firewall does not want the Chinese people, especially those who are not educated enough to be easily incited, to be protected from the influence of public opinion and culture in these Western developed countries. Because before the Chinese government established the Great Firewall, the global social media dominated by the United States was full of fake news about China and hate speech that endangered the stable development of Chinese society.
This this this this this. I'm a Westerner living in China for almost 20 years. I've long understood this. Remember a few years back when everyone in China was angry with Japan (I think the Prime Minister visited the war heroes monument) and started attacking Japanese cars, people with Japanese cameras and Lawsons? That's what the government has to manage - a very large number of people who can be easily incited and reactive. I live in Shanghai, a big developed city where pretty much everyone has a great capacity for reasoning and discernment. But it's not like this everywhere (you see the same in the US, the difference in mentality from one place to another). The other thing about the firewall is that the government does not want large scale communication on servers which they have no control over - rendering them unable to stop misinformation. The Chinese government has a different approach to many Western governments, but different does not mean inherently "wrong". And looking at the state of the world...well, I can tell you that I feel VERY lucky to be living here!
Yup, those countries are masters of propaganda and manupilation, and they utilize online policies, algorithms, etc. for such purposes. They create civil unrest on various countries through such methods. I am in neither of those regions but i recognize how a "western" centric world-view is being pushed so hard by their media.
Just one correction, those “global” apps are not global. They are American apps. They are just dominant in western and pro-west countries (which do not represent the entire world). But they are still American companies. Agree with the rest
Yes, Western Values are of use to NO ONE. Best to keep it faaaaaar away from EVERYONE❗️ Bless China 🇨🇳☺️
My understanding is that Google (and other Western Apps) left China due to Google (and other Western Apps) did not wish to follow the laws of China nor keep the data of Chinese in China; TT was fully complying the laws of US and stored all Amercians' data in America. Thus, it was not "equal ban".
TTRs were, at beginning, protesting by going to a Chinese App which was only for Chinese -- they rather hit the "language wall" than using the American Apps.
Great interview!!!!! Lovin' it ❤
I went through all of this when Biden won. I find it so ironic. I learned Mandarin, learned about the culture (good and bad) and history, spoke with real people, made friends, and watched their media. Now I can talk to them when I meet them randomly on games. There is definitely a honeymoon period where the grass seems greener--they definitely have more than a few great accomplishments, but overall what is most shocking is how far Western countries have fallen behind every country--not just one. I'm glad we're all on the same page now.
China is not a communist country, China is a socialist country, but communism is the goal pursued by the Chinese government. Communist China is a perfectionist society that emphasizes the distribution of social wealth according to people's needs. More equal rights for everyone! This is very difficult to achieve, it may take hundreds of years or impossible to achieve! The Chinese government practises democratic centralism in politics, with the central government formulating national strategies and implementing them! The Communist Party leads the central government, the economy practices a socialist market economy, and industries related to the people's livelihood are invested and operated by the state. Such as water and electricity, medical care, education, pension insurance, infrastructure construction and so on! Others are run by private companies. There are public and private social media, but they must be regulated by Chinese law and cannot post on social media to promote legally prohibited activities such as drugs, pornography, guns and so on. Do not advocate the overthrow of China's political system! In fact, as long as Chinese laws and regulations are complied with, China welcomes foreign social media to do business in China. The Foreign Ministry just issued a statement on this a few days ago. Google did business in China before, but because Google was unwilling to comply with Chinese laws and regulations, the company itself withdrew from the Chinese market! As for freedom of speech, in the thousands of years of Chinese history, our common people have been pursuing stability, development, and prosperity! Only with stability can development be achieved, and ordinary people can live a good life! So the Chinese political system is designed with this goal in mind! The scope of freedom of speech in China is not to cause major shocks and chaos to the stability of this society! For example, we should not advocate the overthrow of the existing political system, or violence and chaos. You can make well-meaning fact-based criticisms of the government! The Chinese government will hear your voice and improve, the Chinese government has many channels to receive your criticism! But attacks and smears based on ideology will not be accepted.
Agreed. There are no communist countries in the world.
As you say, the current CCP government is quite efficient and consistent in applying their policies. However, there is no guarantee policies will continue to be fair and consistently implemented once a new chairman takes charge. The problem with CCP system is there's little check and balance, and too much power is rested with few people at the top.

Unfortunately, that guy was misinformed about the actual situation. For instance, Google was not banned by the Chinese government; rather, it chose not to comply with Chinese laws regarding content filtering, leading to its exit from the Chinese market. In contrast, TikTok has not violated any American laws. Its ban was motivated by political reasons. That's a big difference between the two cases.

Google disagreed with Chinese government content filtering and decided to close its office and service in China. This is the fact and you can check out the Wiki to confirm that. TikTok was actually banned by US government and it cannot operate even without voilation of law.

I came to 小红书 three or four months ago, to watch 尚雯婕 and 朱丹's lifestreams and learn more about the daily life in China. I was so confused to see so many Americans all of the sudden and was a little bit sad cuz I came to this app to see China not America. But soon I realized what good opportunity this was for the western world to finally see that China is not like the media portrays it to be.
I am a bit curious also why 小红书 was so easy for Americans to access because for most Chinese apps you need a Chinese phone number and for some you need a Chinese ID.
I feel like this is an opening up of China in a new way.
Because Xiaohongshu（Rednote) was originally a website mainly engaged in cross-border e-commerce, it allowed global users to register from the very beginning.
I think it was intended to make it easier for the Chinese diaspora to access it, they weren’t expecting foreigners to join.

And X need employ a British as its CEO of Chinese business who will be questioned by Chinese officers. Such as Mr Smiths, are you an American? Mr Smiths, are you a member of Republican or Democratic?
TikTok did not operate in compliance with US data laws. That's why they face eviction. TikTok also has a history of being banned in other countries.
他们做不好的😂😂 这个不是嘲讽，是真的（正经脸），Twitter做得都感觉很不好用。。社交媒体这种东西，最最重要的是对于本地民众生活的了解，然后是算法机制&产品设计的成熟。恕我直言，X在本地做的情况，我都觉得一般般；我对于他在中国做本土化，不是很有信心😂😂 除非他愿意投资巨大，从头培养本土化团队，但是因为现在中国国内市场，说实话已经非常红海了，恐怕他是赶不上这趟车了。
X has too many political contents on it. According to my experience on X, a guy speaking Chinese is whether a nswf publisher or one who loves talking politics (most anti-CPC and China). As for rednote, it just deletes most political contents.
This is what an educated people sound like
13:50 I didn't know being a lesbian wasn't a taboo thing in China. Yeah we have been taught so many lies its actually crazy
They asked them to disclose their fyp 💀
It's interesting that a lot ppl think Chinese common citizen have more indepent or critical thinking than average ppl in Westen world. I think the reason might be we know the press and the TVs are highly controlled, not trustworthy, so we will doubt a lot of things in our life. Then it comes the indepent thinking. Just like a old saying from Laozi(Taoism): "The Shepherd lost his horse, who knows it's not a bless."

I have loved my experience on red note, I feel that this is what a social media site being used by civilized people should be. This is not even bringing up the superior UI compared to instagram or Facebook.
10:20 it's obvious what this young gentleman likes. lol.
Great video
What I do find funny are the subtitles haha They seem so sterile. I dont speak a Chinese language so I have no idea what the translation process must be like. When I do the same for Portuguese, my translations often to have the same sterility. Shout out to the translators doing their best
The translation is fairly accurate
The translation is pretty spot on. Their opinions aren't sterile, mayabe you didn't watch the whole thing. Their opinions are very sophisticated, which is something you won't get from Americans nowadays.
The app is getting a lot of free international advertisement.
Hi, just a humble request to Asian Boss (as a long-time loyal subscriber): love this video 👍🏼👏🏼. What’s the possibility of adding Chinese caption, too?
reminded me of this i heard somewhere on net, 'you have options but not choices'
no it was actually "you have freedom of opinions but not choices"....that was the comment a rednote user gave to a tt refugee after comparing notes on healthcare/education/taxation/safety etc.
美国人现在在说，“政府是政府，人民是人民”。然而，比起美国人，我想我们中国人更相信我们的政府。你们美国人跟你们的政府在对立面，不代表我们中国人也是这样。
Lesbian lady is such a chad
You just jealous cause she has her own chad and not into you. ;) j/k
@@diehardAMD No one is jealous. Chinese people can tolerate homosexuality, but they are not willing to carry out massive publicity like foreign countries! This is also why the lesbian in the video prefers foreign countries!

Not equal! Because the data of Twitter and Facebook are not in China, they cannot be used in China, and TK's data is in the United States.
3:49 THIS THIS THIS!!!
Oh so XiaoHongShu and Rednote are the same thing? I only knew their version of tiktok by the former name, lol
Can’t understand why Chinese so naive about why U.S. wants to ban tic tok. They do not want people exposing the genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza supported by US
maybe they were removed by aisan boss. with the message you mentioned, this video may not be able to earn money from youtube
that is what I am saying.. it is so predictable that TikTok is different since it came back. Of course it is gonna be different, do people really believe that the government will allow it to keep showing things against their propaganda and exposing their crimes? it doesn’t matter if it shows its gratefulness towards Trump to its users. It’s a deal that has already been made behind the scene. BTW, 这里面我还是熟悉一点点的哈，在大陆确实不是所有人都知道Tiktok和美国政府在Gaza这种阴暗层面的事情，如果仅仅是中美竞争，以及所谓的“担心数据泄漏”还可以理解，或者可以看作是小题大做。但是Gaza这个问题，说穿了就是太严重了，美国首先不会承认，国内官方口径也不可能就这样官方定性。所以一般人想不到这点也是可以理解的。反过来看，rednote refugees也只是拿Chinese spy开玩笑，谁敢真得说是因为Gaza，TikTok才被封得呢？
回避不是天真，采访里明确说明了，不希望输出政治。
他们能说出这句话，就代表他们明确知道美国封禁Tik Tok是政治的原因。

Berlin Wall moment
Guess who wanted to build a wall 🧱

VPN is more common than what people think in China, in EU we use VPN too for netflix and steam🤘
Now TikTok is banning pro-🇵🇸 content, it’s bit sad to see them giving in. So rednote would still be a haven
And btw, using VPN is illegal but legal
As I opened tiktok today, a notification came up "thanks US president Donald Trump" 😮
TikTok肯定是做了妥协了，才能在当地存活。这就是美国的“符合国家规范要求”😂 之前说什么都要封了它的原因，说到底，除了他是个“中国APP”以外，不就是因为它展示了Gaza相关的内容嘛。
12:10 is honestly an interesting question!
10:22 not this guy caught looking at gym girls 💀💀💀
Love smart people in China. I enjoy listening to them. 👍
Soooo whats the difference if foreigners use Rednote if its still a Chinese app?
It's not banned and its based in China... Who knows whether it would be banned if Trump doesn't like it? Banning it probably would need to build a 'wall'🙄
watch america ban it next :)
yeah seems like a dumb alternative because its still Chinese 🤣
Rednote isn't banned because it has low market share compared to TikTok🤑
TikTok is a Chinese app made for the USA and international market. 小红书 is a Chinese app created for the Chinese market.
Good questions and insights. Thank you.
某老哥打开小红书全是妹子跳舞....你们ASIAN BOSS至少打个码嗷

那條黄衣啊伯攪錯了，TT已完全配合尾國的法律去做，可惜最后还是被禁止。而那堆尾國APP因不願意接受中國政府的规范去運作而被禁的耶。😂😂
当时是发生了严重的新疆恐怖袭击，所有的线索都指向google和Facebook，这些伊斯兰恐怖分子使用的教材和极端恐怖份子洗脑宗教视频都是从这些途径走的，但是当中国警方拿到线索想连根拔起的时候，发生的事你想也想的到，这些企业以用户数据安全为由直接拒绝提供。就好比911发生了以后，AT&T拒绝给FBI提供恐怖分子之前的短信记录和通话记录一样，这种事如果发生肯定会吃不了兜着走的。
是不愿意留下数据安全库我记得 12年之前所有的都能用
Wait!! I thought only america ban titkok recently, what this got to do with people in china using tiktok?
Since TikTok is China based app, for sure a lot of people wanted to know Chinese people’s reaction and opinion to it
They use 抖音, the original Tiktok only for Chinese people
because there's an influx of English-speaking foreigners on Rednote
Brother do you click in without reading the title

First and are they still on Rednote?
Probably filmed this when tiktok was still banned. Still a good video in my opinion!
I still see Americans everywhere on Rednote 😂
yes
@@JeipsterMusicmost of us deleted TikTok and are mostly all on rednote now.

Well tiktok bacl and Im so happy bc they're leaving Rednote and I can have my algorithm back 🤧 I can have my Chinese celebrity and otome feeds back
me also . Just feel release. I don’t want to share the red note with them so overwhelmed
@sheehyjessica1991 Like Americans already making fun of RedNote and Chinese. Like we're the victim here?? Like those woke folks have been bullying artists. Someone got so feed up she made a post calling them out
听到这些年轻的受访者的言谈，感觉对中国年轻人有了更多的信心了，他们比我想象的要强一些。
Why ask the Chinese why they call themself TikTok Refugees. It's not Chinese people or platforms call them "TikTok Refugees," lol
I think ur confused
The Tiktok Refugees are the Americans who had their international Tiktok banned for a bit

@ 是的。TikTok遵守了美国监管，但还是被迫出售，不卖就会被禁。中国可没逼谷歌出售，国外平台是不愿意接受监管自己跑路的。
本来就是啊 人家也可以说TikTok不愿意遵守美国法律才退出的
@@兔兔不吃胡萝卜-z8d law made you to sell off your business? 😮

但並沒有任何執法機構執行

This is the era of “China China über alles“ which might be a bad thing for the chinese unless they stay humble.
The curiosity lasts only a few days. Most users think they are a disruption and they should be deported.
but the seed has been planted. Many western narratives has been broken and the impression will stay among those that has browsed rednote. Some will become permanent rednote user and the information gate will still be larger compared to the time before the migration. Tiktok will still be banned in the US in the coming month, there no question about it, there will be a second wave if rednote is not banned in the US.
dont try to reprsent anyone, all the chinese i asked, they welcome their foreign friends.
