     @glynmoody Some of the consequences of this are proving hilarious as Americans find out what Chinese people pay for fresh food stuffs and healthcare and about stuff like the idea of ensuring nobody ever starves. Meanwhile Chinese side folks discover Americans all have 2 days off a week. It's a fascinating impromptu social science experiment that I hope some research group somewhere is studying hands on.

     @glynmoody "Like all Chinese social media, Xiaohongshu’s content is strictly censored in line with Beijing’s laws, which prohibit content deemed counter to the government’s interests."
     The Guardian missing the censorship by the American government or maybe unable to see it. Quite amusing
