   Btw it has been fascinating to witness the cultural exchange on Rednote and Americans' realisation that *gasp* China is actually a very developed country and America is in fact the bad place.

     Meanwhile, can we also appreciate what an insanely historic event it is for Americans and Chinese people to have such a direct line to each other on #Rednote? 🤯

     It's so interesting to watch the simple questions they ask each other. "How much do eggs cost?" and "What do you eat for breakfast?" And then they show each other through videos! But also more serious things like "do Americans really have to pay for an ambulance?" And "Is China's social credit score real?"

     So yeah idk it's been:

     - interesting to watch America gain collective class consciousness through the #TikTokBan
     - horrifying to watch the US further descend into corporate oligarchy led fascism
     - hilarious to see the petty protest move to #RedNote accidentally leading to a wholesome cultural exchange that diplomacy experts could only dream of.

     Thank you for coming to my TedTalk. ✌️
