   Very strange post. I've spent 40% of my life in China. I think these comparisons are forced by someone who wants to make comparisons and find clear differences.

   For social media, Xiaohongshu is about the same as international social media, except you don't have that very weirdest type of brainrot content.

      The author responded to one of the comments on the OP by saying:

      "this was exactly the sort of missing latent context I was hoping to elicit from the community with my poorly-informed post"

      Perhaps you could provide more missing latent context?
