Is Xiaohongshu and Rednote not 1 same app? Or is it also separated like TikTok and Douyin?

Propaganda/ Agitprop on Xiaohongshu/ Rednote (lemmygrad.ml)
 

As most of you know the US is probably gonna ban TikTok, and because of that many Americans are moving to China's homegrown equivalent of Instagram: Xiaohongshu (literally: little red book)/ Rednote.

I think this is a good opportunity for us as communists to seize, because unlike TikTok, Xiaohongshu is one app for both China and the rest of the world. Thus it's dominated by Mainland Chinese posters showing their lives, hobbies, etc, which are very similar (in terms of hobbies) or better (in terms of living conditions) than Americans, whereas that wouldn't have been the case on TikTok as China and the rest of the world have separate apps.

For many already disillusioned Americans who may have had a negative view towards China (which is most Americans), this would shatter the illusion for some and potentially open their eyes to the success of socialism, and an alternative to the current capitalist system; spurring them on to radicalization.

Therefore I think that we should seize on this moment to jump on the bandwagon in order to educate Americans or just to show what China is really like. Especially because after a while the US will probably want to ban this app too. So there may not be a lot of time. What do you guys think?

With the TikTok ban coming (and probably gonna go through), do you guys think there'll be a local competitor pop up? Or will everyone just be on the cesspool that is Instagram? Or perhaps move to the other Chinese app RedNote?

To all Americans here, please get educating, agitating and organising. I think with all the climate catastrophes, insane government actions and generally thing just getting worse this is a wakeup call to many people, especially those who are "apolitical". Weakening the capitalists in their home will weaken them elsewhere, weaken the chain so that the links are easier to break!

Pursual of higher studies (lemmygrad.ml)
 

Hi, I am a young student and am going on to university soon. I am interested in helping causes and organisations like unions and such for a profession. I thought of doing political science, but that's not very agreeable to my parents. So I thought of doing economics however I'm not sure how employable a pure economics degree is and whether or not I can stomache the neoliberal economics. If anyone could provide some of your own experiences and help me I would appreciate it.
