OK but that's what you friends say.

I want an actual source, an actual study.

no. lemme flip the burden of proof: the CCP is a known hostile actor against our nation. i want proof that they're not doing something shady before we let them play with the minds of kids.

> I want an actual source, an actual study.

This could be applied to the US too from the perspective of all the countries it destroyed.

So no I dont buy the CCP is bad and the US is good.

i obviously don't agree with you on us "destroying" but they already do that. they literally block most of our stuff. so turnabout is fair play.

why are you advocating chicoms get special privileges to be let in without proving they're good relative to us having to do the same in china?

Because they have laws. They have laws to do time limits on social media, and co trol what content is recommended.

> all good positive influences there, no dancing thots and dph challenges.

This is 100% bullshit. I’ve used Douyin and it’s just the same as TikTok, and even if I haven’t, anyone with surface familiarity with human nature would know there won’t be a social media network without dancing and “bad influences”. Now, Douyin literally means trembling/dancing musical notes, guess where it got started?

Douyin does have a “youth mode” where supposed bad influences are more limited. It’s opt-in however, and through talking to actual Chinese teenagers I gathered that nobody uses it, because guess what, teenagers like the “fun” content. Enabling this youth mode is actually a prank they pull on friends.

Also, search for posts from Chinese parents trying to block Douyin on their router, you’ll find a ton. Guess why?

Normally I would chalk things up to differing perspectives, but your claim here about “all good positive influences” is so absurd I have to conclude you’re straight up lying.
