  • I think it’s NIMBYism in a way. Sure, they like to talk to Laowai and like it when they do something Chinese, but they don’t really want them intruding on their social media network. The Great Firewall exists for a reason- Chinese culture and attitudes are vastly different to that of the west. There was a joke going around that watching Chinese short-form videos “is like tuning into interdimensional cable”

    It was in a comment section and my joke was that Joe Biden legalised abortion. However they must have thought that I was posting it unrionically and was seriously claiming that Obama was a Muslim based on him being black, even though that it should be obvious that even the creator of the meme was parodying Facebook grandmothers
