    chinese people are not stupid, the quality of their social media is already better than western ones, they vast majority will just leave the apps they try if they suck. At this point in time, chinese people being able to see what the americans have is a great way to shatter the ideallized version of americans that a vast amount of chinese people have.

    People around the world use american social media because they dont have an alternative, chinese people do have alternatives.

      it doesn’t matter how smart one is, america still has a powerful media monopoly. This is not china unleashing itself on the west but the reverse, since they aren’t making any rules to protect themselves from enemies.
