Four years ago

In the last year of Trump's first term

He threatened to ban TikTok

At that time

There were no TikTok refugees flooding into Rednote

Chinese people wanting to understand the real thoughts of Americans

Could only rely on another way

To satisfy their curiosity

-Hello, I'm Jerry Kowal

-I am from

-New York, USA...

-I'm an influencer

Jerry became the most famous foreigner in China

He made countless street interview videos

Including

How Americans feel about Trump wanting to ban TikTok

Four years later

Trump, who once wanted to ban TikTok, has now transformed

Into the great hero who saved TikTok

Meanwhile, the last update on Jerry’s page

Is still stuck in 2022

Since the TikTok refugees settled into Rednote

Chinese netizens no longer needed Jerry

To ask Americans questions on their behalf

But after the intense "Great Reconciliation Movement"

Many Chinese netizens remembered Jerry

And started to sigh:

It turns out Jerry was right all along!

Americans really don’t have savings

They can't afford to go to doctor's office

Their live is harder than ours!

China is truly amazing!

Hey y'all! Lele Farley here

We all witnessed

The brief honeymoon period between Chinese and American netizens on Rednote

At first, Chinese people warmly welcomed American refugees

Then, American refugees provided Chinese people

With emotional value through national pride

This is so called the "Great Reconciliation Movement"

Now, TikTok is back

A large number of Americans quickly packed up and

Returned to their comfortable old homes

Now, we have finally entered

The next phase of this drama

That is, the Chinese who gained plenty of dopamine

And satisfaction during

the "Great Reconciliation Movement"

Will now have to face how

The excitement fades after everyone has left

After all, three years ago

Spokesperson Zhao Lijian of the Foreign Ministry said:

-China is free to come and go

This referred to those TikTok refugees

And certainly not to Chinese people themselves

So, among the foreigners who chose to stay

Could anyone pick up the baton

That Jerry once left behind?

And continue to fuel nationalism with dopamine for the Chinese?

No matter who you support

This entire drama around the TikTok ban

Trump is definitely the biggest winner in all of this

After TikTok was banned on the 18th

It was quickly unbanned after 12 hours

And the platform showed each user’s

TikTok interface:

"As a result of President Trump's efforts"

This is definitely the best personal brand marketing

I’ve seen in my life

This move directly won Trump

The affection of many young voters

And made him seen as "the savior of TikTok"

Friends who’ve followed me for a long time should know

My views on TikTok

If you're new here

I have to admit

I’ve always had some...

Very negative stereotypes about TikTok users

And the "Great Reconciliation Movement" on Rednote

Has opened my eyes to the ignorance and stupidity

Of these TikTokers

And thoroughly confirmed for me

That leads us back to our topic today

Let's first study the types of people

among the TikTok refugees.

First, there are the ordinary TikTok users who follow the trend.

No matter how they package this internet trend

as a form of rebellion

against authority and government,

what they truly care about

is finding a substitute for their spiritual addiction.

For this type of user,

Rednote is just a temporary substitute.

Once TikTok is unbanned,

they will immediately return to it.

This is the case for most

TikTok refugees who moved to Rednote

Another type of TikTok refugee

are influencers who

were already quite influential on TikTok.

They are worried about their influencer careers,

which may be interrupted by the TikTok ban.

So they come to establish a presence here just in case.

After all, for them,

a platform with resources is where they thrive.

Once TikTok returns,

they will go back to the platform t

hey rely on to continue their career.

This means the remaining TikTok refugees

on Rednote are the following two types.

The first type is wannabe influencers

who once tasted a bit of fame on TikTok.

After experiencing the pleasure brought by traffic,

when they come to Rednote

they find that they don't need outstanding skills

or looks,

with zero effort.

they can easily gain

the most traffic and likes of their lives

This instant gratification boosts their desire

to become famous

Even if they can return to TikTok now,

they are unwilling

to leave Rednote so quickly.

They still want to keep dreaming

of becoming influencers and making money here.

Only when they gradually realize

that it's almost impossible to make money on this app,

and that dopamine

from likes and views fades,

if they no longer have money as a driving force,

they will eventually leave Rednote

Finally, after layers of selection,

the ones who remain are the potential shills

-Helle, Rednote

-I've made over 200 vdieos

-comparing American and Chinese culture...

To become the Jerry Kowal in the hearts of the people means

you not only need to study Chinese for at least two years

but also

you have to be proficient in various G-spot issues of the Chinese people.

For example, looting

gun violence

unaffordable medical care, etc.

Jerry himself went to the streets of Detroit

to show the American decline.

So, his successor

could perhaps go to Skid Row in Los Angeles,

the homeless camp,

to show the dangers and decay of America.

The Great Reconciliation Movement

is a New Year's gift from Americans to Chinese.

But the pleasure it brings

will soon pass.

Before long,

as the Chinese people's spirit

is once again crushed by 996, 007,

and the increasingly declining Chinese economy,

they will need more of this China-US comparison...

To relieve the suffering of real life.

it feels a bit like Trump

The biggest winner

actually, besides Trump,

is the Chinese government sitting back and profiting.

They not only preserved TikTok’s algorithm

and its continuing influence

in American society,

but also in this wave of TikTok refugees

fleeing to Rednote

they have gained countless unexpected publicity.

And the losers are all of us.

The vast Chinese netizens,

although they got a brief nationalist thrill,

but in the midst of information disparity and prejudice,

they’ve fallen deeper.

Most Americans,

especially TikTok users,

they also only care about easily accessible pleasure.

They won’t unite to protest about

America’s corrupt healthcare system

or big banks buying up houses, etc.

They just know to exercise their rights

to satisfy their addiction to TikTok

this spiritual drug.

This reminds me of

a scene I once saw in Beijing when I was in school.

On the bus,

outside the window was a sky covered with smog,

and every person inside the bus

was eagerly staring at their phone screens.

That was the year 2016

when Douyin (Chinese TikTok) became popular

No one cared about the scene outside the window.

No one thought about the smog in front of them.

Everyone chose to swipe through one short video after another

to escape the problems of real life.

My American fellow citizens also the same,

they don’t care which direction our country is heading...

So, it can’t just be me wondering

where is our Jerry Kowal of the American people!

-Amazing, America!
