The controversial TikTok ban that went into effect last Saturday (January 18) caused more than 3 million Americans to migrate to RedNote, another Chinese-owned social media platform known in China as Xiaohongshu.
Shortly after, a self-described “authentic Chinese” TikToker went viral, claiming to debunk three major “lies” about China often spread in the West and touching on controversial topics ranging from slavery to government surveillance.
“This is so f—ing stupid,” the man said in the video. “We do not have forced labor! It’s so funny to see so many Westerners actually believe this!”
