Not quite the same? The US bans tiktok because it believes it's controlled by the CCP, not just any international influence.

Well-meaning Americans who say this US bill on TikTok is anti-Asian racism / xenophobic appear unaware of the Global South's wariness of TikTok. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Taiwan, Indonesia, etc. — all have outright bans or limits on TikTok. These are Asian countries!!

Is that the "Whole process democracy" in China? 🤓

This should be said loudly and repeatedly! Political science will die if it continues much further down the path of obsessing over methodological minutiae & persnickety nitpicking over causal inference - all centred on analysis of more & trivial questions no one cares about...

According to Nikkei, more than 500 'ghost' buildings are left behind in a Cambodian tourist town by Chinese developers amid the property market crisis #BeltandRoad 縱橫日本 Nikkei Asia

ByteDance has every right to speak up against the divestment bill and challenge it in court. But this moral outrage feels so fake. When has this company — who happily aids CCP censorship and propaganda in China — ever cared about freedom of expression?

A tiger for Vietnam, a small fly for China, in terms of anti-corruption campaigns.

Rednote is way worse than TikTok. Its name literally means Mao/Xi's Little Redbook. Why is Rednote even allowed in the US? #tiktokrefugees

Welcome to Rednote 😂 #tiktokrefugees

You do know it's impossible China under Xi would allow X in mainland China, right? That's why TikTok should be banned. Elon Musk

I can't help but do this just to make DeepSeek squirm lol

This shouldn't be part of the future of LLM or AI. #DeepSeek

Another China's Great Tech Leap Forward besides DeepSeek: it beats Starlink to hi-res space-ground laser transmission at 6G standard - setting 100Gbps speed record. scmp.com/news/china/sci…

The irony is that for years Marxian economists advocated the use of tariffs for global South countries to protect domestic industries. Now a strategic move by Trump as a broad industrial policy to restructure the US economy but also mainly targeting the primary adversary China.

I knew it - it's all about the number one adversary - China.

Terrifying if true #DeepSeek

India and Vietnam among many others will be the winners. #TradeWars
