He is NOT the CEO of xiaohongshu lmao
The CEO of xiaohongshu is mao wenchao毛文超/Charlwin Mao, he and 瞿芳Qu Fang are the co-founders.
Actually this is a very good example of how western media casually 造谣 nonsense such as saying xiaohongshu (little red book) was named after mao zedong's quotebook lmao. Cnetizens be like:"OH we don't even know that ourselves""With such far-fetched talent and such a high level of political awareness, they could have taken the civil service exam"
The name Xiaohongshu MEANS popular shopping guide. Qu Fang and Mao Wenchao met when they were both in the U.S. shopping for goods. At that time, Mao Wenchao called his family in Wuhan and asked what goods he was bringing, and when Qu Fang heard the accent she felt very close to him, and the two of them got to know each other.
They are both business elites, passionate about entrepreneurship, and deeply sympathetic to the difficulties of nationals shopping overseas. The two founded Xiaohongshu in the hope that it would become a guide to overseas shopping for Chinese people. According to Qu Fang's interpretation of the words “red” and “book” at the time, the three words "Little Red Book” can be translated as ""very popular shopping guide''. It was launched in 2014 when the name is called “Hong Kong shopping guide” (Source)
i know tumblrinas aren’t the biggest clock app fans but it is so so so funny over there rn…
the ban is on the horizon; govt is like yeah um, it’s bad because it collects your data and communism, whilst throwned upon a veritable mountain of zuck bucks; only for users be like, we do not give two flying farts they can have our data and making memes bout movin’ before using insta or fb again and saying goodbye to their “chinese spy”/ spies saying goodbye to their “targets”
fast forward… to this morning senators finding the number one downloaded app is xiaohongshu or RED NOTE hehheheheh!!!
welcomed with open arms, being deemed ~tiktok refugees~, ceo made a welcome video; ⏰ users are now sharing apps to learn mandarin and apps to help translate and reminding each other left and right that we are GUESTS and to act like we’ve been somewhere before!!!
i can’t this is so freaking funny i’m so proud of em’
this is truly the funniest timeline
Seeing Americans join RedNote and realize that education, healthcare, food, and housing are cheaper in China rlly makes me lose faith in some people’s critical thinking skills.
Like, yeah. We’ve known. Anyone with friends or family in China has known this. Anyone with an ounce of curiosity and access to a search engine has known. And no, China is by no means a perfect country, but some things are WAY better than over here.
Have you never been curious?? To what living conditions in other countries are like??? Have you looked into it??? Really looked??? Because why are you just learning these things now?
Expand your horizons, guys. Learn about different cultures. I guarantee you, you have more in common than you think.
being on this app is so surreal. americans are usually the ones that learn about other places and people everywhere else already know about america because we're everywhere online. we've never been on the opposite side where other people are learning about us -- and they are horrified about our "normal"
the country america spent our whole lives trying to convince us is miserable and suffering under an oppressive government that starves everyone and controls their media? that's just projection. turns out besides like... housing prices and few available jobs, china is doing pretty great. they originally believed we were all living it up "the american dream" way and now they're all thankful they were born in china and have no idea how any of us are even alive
Correcting a Chinese kid's English homework that another American got wrong on a Chinese app named after Mao Zedong's Little Red Book as part of a mass online temper tantrum to help save TikTok was not on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are.
This might actually be the political fuck-up of the century. Our politicians are all 900 year old crypt keepers who probably turn off their computers by unplugging them from the wall. Were there a single synapse in their decrepit domes focused on something besides their next payday, they might have thought twice about challenging Millennials and Zoomers on the internet. I repeat, ON THE INTERNET. Oh to have the confidence of an octogenarian born into generational wealth.
Something I need people to understand is the "security threat" doesn't just stop at data. The mere act of normal Chinese and American citizens interacting scares the shit out of governments on both sides. I'm already seeing videos from folks here in the US talking about how shocked they were at the grocery hauls in China, and how much they could get with very little. Chinese people are watching Americans absolutely dog walk their own government and talk it for filth. People are having fun.
All rich people had to do was remember the deal. Americans are terrible people. If they had just paid folks enough to buy a house, an electric car, and a vacation once a year they'd sit in front of the TV in a docile fugue state while the wealthy shoved their boots up the ass of the global south. Now who knows what's going to happen. I just know it's a testament to how done with Mark Zuckerberg's ass people are that they're rather learn Mandarin than go back to Facebook.
I think 2025 is about to be a ride.
