Arnaud on this

If this gets confirmed and Trump indeed folds, this will be seen as one of those seminal events that confirm, beyond all the propaganda, a fundamental rebalancing of power between China and the US, and an end to the era of US economic dominance.

The impact on China's side was much less pronounced: the CSI 300 Index is virtually unchanged, and so is the cost of China's debt, standing at 1.67% for their 10Y bonds vs 4.4% for US 10Y bonds.

Due to the tariffs, the IMF just predicted a reduction of only 0.5% in China's GDP growth (down to 4%) vs a loss of 0.9% for the US's GDP (down to 1.8%), meaning that China would keep growing at more than twice the rate of the U.S. despite the tariffs, and would be much less affected by them than the U.S.

The US possibly no longer being able push other countries' economic policies around is a much bigger deal than people realize

Inventing a "problem" then "solving" it. Looks like they're learning from trump

Cope harder lib. How does it feel crying about other countries' better education just because you can't get any?

Also what does "shitcon" mean? Misspelled something?

It seems to prefer new users' posts rather than already popular users interestingly enough, at least more so than other platforms

There's a bunch of Chinese posts asking if the stuff about school shootings, fires, homelessness are exaggerated propaganda only to be told otherwise. It's both hilarious and sad.

Basically every mainstream social media apps do want your contacts these days, yes. Obviously bad for OPSEC so you should avoid them if you're worried about that even after blocking those permissions.

They're equally racist. Dems are probably trying to damage control and convince people not to join Rednote and stay on Tiktok until it's banned

 

Chinese social media app RedNote, known in China as Xiaohongshu, gained nearly 3 million U.S. users in one day earlier this week as a flood of self-proclaimed "TikTok Refugees" joined, according to new data from analytics firm Similarweb.

The Chinese-language app had about 3.4 million daily active users across both iOS and Android devices in the United States as of Monday, up from fewer than 700,000 the day prior, and around 300,000 the week prior, according to the Similarweb estimate.

The influx of users has been driven by a looming U.S. ban on TikTok, used by 170 million Americans, on national security concerns.

The data suggests an even larger shift to RedNote by U.S. users this week than was previously known, explaining its dramatic rise to the top of U.S. app store download rankings. Reuters reported on Tuesday that more than 700,000 new users had joined the app in only two days.

Meanwhile, U.S. usage of TikTok declined ahead of the ban, down 2.1% week over week to about 82.2 million daily active users, Similarweb said.
