Accidentally went viral on Threads again... If only I could figure out how to do it on purpose more often on more platforms 🤣

Sharing my observations about the influx of Americans to the Chinese app Rednote 🤣 I've been talking for a couple years about how China is *not* what American propaganda convinces us it is. They've done a LOT to recover from the damage done by the revolution while still keeping a focus on uplifting their people. It's just such a huge country that that takes time to do, so U.S. propaganda focuses on the most remote regions of the country to show conditions. It'd be like if we only showed Appalachian coal towns and migrant workers to share what life in America was like.

I *knew* of RedNote but hadn't joined because I just didn't have the brainspace for another social platform, until the curiosity about this whole thing tipped over. I'm not learning anything new myself cuz I've been studying the culture for awhile now and had even looked into visiting (it's not as expensive or difficult as you think!) I'd love to do a tour of temples someday! I've known the U.S. general public view of China is about 20 years out of date - especially in the last decade, they've been going hard on building infrastructure and technological development, and they've also been building infrastructure in other countries, especially in African countries, as part of their modern "silk road" project to boost global trade.
