And what happened was hilarious.
Chinese users were asking US ones if it was true about potentially going bankrupt from a medical emergency as they thought it was Chinese govt propaganda.
Then were asking about maternity leave, housing, workers rights and being similar aghast that the truth wasn’t propaganda!

So they can use the Chinese propaganda app or the US propaganda app.

At this point China doesn’t need propaganda, they just let the chinese users look at the US user’s misery by themselves and sit back.
When Rednote was first flooded by the first wave of TikTok refugees, the chinese users were baffled just how much worse it was than their propaganda said. Which is probably why they just let it go and didn’t immediately shut it down.
