Where do I apply. Seriously.
While the majority of the new TikTok refugees still appear to be enjoying their time on Xiaohongshu, some have already had their posts censored. Christine Lu, a Taiwanese-American tech entrepreneur who created a Xiaohongshu account on Wednesday, says she was suspended after uploading three provocative posts about Tiananmen, Tibet, and Taiwan. “I support more [Chinese and American] people engaging directly. But also, knowing China, I knew it wouldn’t last for long,” Lu tells WIRED.
Weird, the same thing happens to posts about Defend, Deny, Depose on American social media
And Palestine, unionizing, etc.
three provocative posts
Nobody knows what it means but it's provocative
did someone get used to repeating garbage lies?
LOL. why are they doing the jobs of feds without being paid for it?
Gusanos 
Lmao, what a loser
Hire me. I'll swing the 
without caution
How much they paying? I need a side hustle from my job as a CCP spy.
CCP spies need two jobs to survive these days 
Xi needs to pay up 
If it's the same as the job listing I saw earlier, $1200 USD a month plus benefits
Not bad for a side hustle in the States and not bad for a main hustle if your bilingual and live in a country with a reasonable cost of living
New orders from President Xi:「不，你是在 HEXBEAR。」
Xiaohongshu literally translates from Mandarin to "little red book," likely a reference to the famed little red book of quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong, the founding father of Communist China.
Five minutes of googling would tell you this isn’t the correct way to translate this (would be too based if it was, though); but never miss an opportunity for some good ol’ red baiting. Journalism at it’s finest.
A lot of Mandarin speaking people on xhs were agreeing with the notion that it is a nod to Mao’s book. I’m pretty sure it is more of a patriotic nod though, like if America had an app called YankeeDoodle
I seem to have spoken without having the proper information.
It’s the colloquial name to Mao’s red book. Everyone knows what it means.
Ah, well, I stand corrected.
I remember 3 years ago when I first learned about this app having to explain to my Chinese friend why I laughed at it.
It's so far removed from the "little red book" it doesn't even register as a potential pun to Chinese people.
I love how you can just go print lies and have a massive audience.
What does the name mean then? I see lots of "it doesn't mean that" but nobody explains what it means.
They have a specific name for the book "select quotations of Mao Zedong". They just don't use the term xiaohongshu. The meaning itself could be translated as "little red book" but the cultural idea behind the phrase of "little red book" doesn't exist in the same way.
This is what I gathered from conversation with them about it. I may have misunderstood them but they're not an apolitical person like many Chinese people and they still didn't understand in such a way. They'd definitely see that connection if it was one that existed I mean.
So many news agencies ran with that. Just deeply lazy reporting.
I'll do it if they give me a work visa (please)
Hell, i'll work remotely.
This new demand could actually be a cool way for them to redirect some English-language staff from TikTok.
I'm relying on hexbear x users to let us know as new slang evolves. are americans going on x still 白左 or are there new terms?
The users of xhs aren't really the ones who would use that term
they wouldnt let me make fun of Jolani
