💨 Abstract

In the Chinese social media platform RedNote, also known as Xiaohongshu, a surge of nearly 3 million U.S. users, due to the looming U.S. ban on TikTok, has led to rare candid discussions between Chinese and American users. Topics covered range from economic pessimism, concerns over war, mental health, gender, and sexuality, which are usually heavily censored on domestic Chinese platforms.
