Maybe, although Trump’s initiation of the ban in 2020 and its culmination under a bipartisan effort makes it seem that this is not a party issue but a function of state power responding to perceived threats to its hegemony, maybe economic, cultural, or political. This underscores the Marxist understanding that capital ultimately unites in opposition to the interests of the working class.
Communist theory is grounded in the material reality of class struggle, not in abstract "LLM slop". The facts remain and is important to repeat: capitalism exploits workers everywhere. Let's focus on the real issues, not dismissive labels.

The dismissal is a classic deflection, avoiding the material reality of global capitalist contradictions. The working class faces the same forces of exploitation, and any attempt to obscure that fact only serves to reinforce bourgeois ideologies. It's crucial to avoid inadvertently reinforcing us-them language; you are a part of us, as I am. The truth remains: capitalism's structure perpetuates oppression everywhere, and the task is to unite workers globally in solidarity, not retreat into nationalist illusions.
Our dire situation is indeed global, and the crises of capitalism spare no nation, including China. While the Chinese state presents the veneer of rising material conditions, this trajectory is underpinned by the same contradictions inherent to capitalism everywhere: exploitation of labor, environmental degradation, and the alienation of workers. The notion that Chinese workers, amid rising inequality and workplace pressures, are immune to propaganda or the diversionary tactics of consumerism is illusory. What RedNote—or any platform of genuine cultural exchange—offers is the potential for workers to transcend these national divisions, expose the ideological frameworks that bind them, and unite against their common enemy: capital. To stifle the struggle of Chinese workers by reducing their experiences to caricatures or dismissing their agency as propaganda-induced is not only an act of sinophobia but a failure to recognize the universality of their plight. Whether in the imperial supepowers or somewhere in the periphery, the struggle is the same, and solidarity forged in shared understanding is the path forward. To reject this is to retreat into illusions of exceptionalism that only serve the ruling class.
Everyone else is an agent in this honeypot
Their systems are slightly different so a local Luigi copycat would target someone else than an insurance CEO
It's for collecting phone number, network cell data etc. It's basically the most sensitive permission and usually not needed for apps to request.
If an app only needs a phone number, it can ask it with user input instead.
Interesting indeed, both countries' governments don't want truths out

Yeah who knows. As of now things look like a PR stunt
