A screen shot from a Taobao search for 红宝书, the actual unofficial name of Mao's book of quotations. About half the results at the top are Mao's book, and about a third are Xi Jinping's "China Dreams" book with a smattering of not particularly relevant results because Taobo has enshittified like every online service.

As a postscript, for the inevitable American "instant expert", here's a search on 小红书 on Taobao. You'll just have to trust me that the search results continue looking like this for the hundreds of pages that get listed. Next to it is the search for 红宝书, the actual affectionate title for Mao's book. Notice any differences?
