This is the first thing I see opening the app

It remains to be seen for how long. Libs will be freaking out when they find an intersection of Chinese users on political posts like the Ukraine-Russia war in the host app they’re going to as 'refugees.' Their bubble will be burst badly when people disagree with them. Also, I followed the 'reading' interest, and there's a lot of Mao and the Red Book there. Americans will freak out over "genocider" worship in a Chinese TikTok alternative. This app will probably separate global servers from China servers to avoid that, like TikTok, if it wants to replace TikTok

I suspect that libs aren't gonna touch the app with a ten foot pole, but there are a lot of people in US who are becoming radicalized out of liberal mainstream. Even if the US bans the app eventually, millions of Americans will now be talking directly to people living in China. The more people talk to each other the harder it will be for the US to dehumanize or stereotype China going forward.

Just wait until they ask about the Uyghurs.
