I mean that is all social media in all cultures... typically not genuinely reflective of the lived experience while actually there!
As a black person I found people in China to be very accepting...with the occasional stares and comments from the elderly, due to race! However the vast majority were a pleasure!
So take the social media experience with a grain of salt, as they say
Don't bring your stupid ideas about "geopolitics" to a Chinese platform. First of all, most Indians are reactionary. Do you think people should kindly accept the talks about caste or entertain them? China doesn't believe in "freedom" to say reactionary stuff.
i’m curious what did u post to get them so heated 😭
Just like how you generalize and present Chinese people for being racist, the blacks and browns that show up to Chinese social media dont usually do nice things. What youre doing is simply extending this line of hate and misunderstanding.
as a Chinese i apologize
It's a social media platform, the sludge is always on the surface for everyone to see. Block and report, it's worked well for me so far -and honestly avoid the main feed whenever possible, so much hate for anything not Mainland Chinese, straight, and "in their own lane"-.
China hates everything. Chinese netizens often have a rather distorted view of the world compared to the rest of the globe. You can’t really have a normal conversation with them, even though there are still some reasonable people, because the negative voices make up the majority
Yeahh 100% why I left the app.
There are really good things, but certain topics bring bigots out of the woodworks. India is one of them. Drug addiction is another one, blatantly violently comments and opinions(yes the history is always brought up in this topic).
It's not much different than talking to conservative extremists in the US, it's just their targets are different because their neighbors are different and history developed as it did. It hits harder hearing other countries bigotry, because it can be so outside the realm of your experiences. People are the same everywhere in that regard, so yes its not just Chinese people, but I also agree that those comments deserve to be met with shock and indignation, not brushed aside. Its a generalization to say "Chinese people" but it also doesnt stop the fact that these extremist posts exist, and they flooded me a ton on XHS despite the algorithm being better at not giving you what you dont engage with. My lack of interaction never stopped that flow somehow, seemingly innocuous posts would steer dozens of people into spewing wild shit. Since I wasn't used to that volume of that type of stuff, it pushed me away a lot quicker than the bigots I'm forced to stomach.
I follow a few black content creators living in China and one Pakistani one, and they all seem to have very positive experiences in China. The Pakistani content creator gets a lot of claps on the back whenever they reveal they are from Pakistan, and the black content creators are always asked to take pictures like they're celebs. I feel like it's the country, not the skin color, i.e. that one neigbor to the south who has always been openly hostile to them.

Making the Jump from TikTok to Rednote(Xiaohongshu)? Here’s What You Need to Know
So you’re thinking about switching (or at least dabbling) from TikTok to **Rednote** (aka Xiaohongshu)? Here’s a quick rundown on what to expect and how to adapt: 1. **Different Vibe** * **TikTok** is all about short, snappy videos—dances, trends, and memes. * **Rednote** leans more toward lifestyle tips, product reviews, and personal stories. Think mini-blogs rather than just quick clips. 2. **Less is More—or Is It?** * On **TikTok**, you can go viral with a 15-second masterpiece. * On **Rednote**, people actually read captions and appreciate detailed posts. Don’t be afraid to write a bit more and share personal insights. 3. **Engage with the Community** * Responding to comments is key on both platforms, but **Rednote** users expect a friendlier, more helpful approach. Focus on real interaction rather than just racking up views. 4. **Use Relevant Hashtags & Keywords** * **TikTok** hashtags can be trendy and fleeting. * **Rednote** hashtags and keywords should be more targeted, especially if you’re reviewing products or sharing how-to tips. 5. **Be Ready for Culture Shifts** * The **Rednote** audience often loves beauty, travel, fashion, and “real-life” hacks. * If you’re pivoting from dance challenges, consider experimenting with lifestyle or review content to fit the platform’s style. 6. **Quality Over Quantity** * While **TikTok** can reward frequent posting, **Rednote** might favor fewer, well-thought-out posts that really resonate. High-quality visuals and genuine storytelling go a long way. Got questions about Rednote? Drop ’em below—always happy to help a fellow content creator make the jump!
The ban isn't really about privacy concerns
Why exactly? You and me know why America is banning tiktok... They can't control the narrative their like they do with Facebook or Instagram YouTube. etc The genocide in Gaza was being shown in its full without any kind of censorship... And daddy israel doesn't like that so the AIPAC who's holding the American politicians by the balls... Forced them into banning the app.... It's not about privacy or any of that.... Remember edward Snowden.? I rest my case.
Y'all know why Trump suddenly became "pro-TikTok" right?
Say it with me....because he and his oligarch buddies are getting worried Americans are waking up to the truth about the anti-China propaganda BS in Red Note and will either demand better conditions or go full socialist.
