The three reports by U.S. media on Rednote are so funny!
In recent days, U.S. netizens, strongly dissatisfied with the U.S. government's crackdown on TikTok, have been migrating in large numbers to another Chinese social platform, Rednote. Multiple U.S. media outlets have even reported that the number of this "digital exodus" has reached as many as 700,000.
This rather rare phenomenon on the internet has naturally attracted significant attention from both Chinese and U.S. media. The U.S. website Business Insider published three rather amusing reports in the past few days, each with a unique angle...
The first report from Business Insider was written by a senior journalist who covers technology and culture, detailing her personal experience with Rednote. After creating her own account, she found that her homepage was filled with posts criticizing the U.S. government.
She said that although she couldn't distinguish between which posts were from U.S. netizens and which were from Chinese netizens, it was clear that many Americans were really angry. And these angry Americans were doing what they do best—making quirky, sarcastic comments.
In the second report, another journalist from this U.S. media outlet gave a step-by-step guide on how American netizens can use Rednote. The content covered everything from registering an account with a phone number, to selecting interests, and setting up username and profile picture.
Well, an American media journalist teaching American netizens how to use an authentic Chinese social app.
The third article from Business Insider is even more interesting. It talks about how many U.S. netizens, after joining Rednote, found a Chinese person who warmly welcomed them and enthusiastically taught them how to set up an account. As a result, they all assumed this person was the CEO of Rednote.
Even a reporter from Fox News mistakenly referred to him as the CEO of Rednote in a news report.
In reality, he is just a kind-hearted Chinese living in Vancouver, Canada. He has since clarified the misunderstanding on his Rednote account. However, this incident has luckily made his account go viral.
