    The purpose of the walled internet was to prevent western propaganda, instead they’re seeing their users get real information from real people.

      A bunch of Americans with a fresh chip on their shoulder for the US government storming a Chinese social media site and airing out their grievances doesn’t exactly paint the US in a positive light, I would bet that whoever is responsible for coordinating Chinese propaganda sees this as a free win.

        It’s not like the Chinese people don’t have any grievances, particularly around mental health stigmas and treatment for ADHD/autism. But a lot of americans are finding out things aren’t so bad everywhere else for the first time.
