{猫咪卷饼|maomi juanbing} kitty burrito would be my closest guess

Edit: if we were playing around too you could call it {猫饼|maobing} cat cake/biscuit which sounds like {毛病|maobing} (different tones) which means problem/fault/bug so you could make funny image macros of a purrito saying {你出了猫饼|ni chule maobing} thar plays on 'You've played/pulled out a purrito' and 'You've broken down'

It isn't quite yet in the millions:

Within the span of two days, more than 700,000 new users have joined Xiaohongshu, Reuters reported, citing a person close to the company. CNN has reached out to Xiaohongshu for comment.

Allowing for a day since the article was published and for Americans already set up on the platform, it's probably around a mil.

So the marker for possession ي is pronounced similar to the i like the i in sit? Are all possessive markers attached to the end of a word? (No need to go into depth if that's gunna be a later lesson)

typing the first letter of characters for an abbreviation isn't american laziness, Chinese speakers frequently do it too, and it's an easy way of typing common words with Pinyin input, for e.g. typing XHS brings up a list of words including tomato (xihongshi), vibrant red (xian hongse) and Xinhua news agency (xinhua she)

That's exactly the thing, in the interview with Dumbrill, they discuss that Duggan had apparently full awareness and approval from the US airforce to train the pilot candidates in South Africa over a decade (?) ago. It was all above board. Iirc the US later down the track they approached him to become an informant and he apparently declined, which precipitated them arresting him without charge in 2023, for a crime that may not be on the books in both Aus and USA (a requirement for extradition). The extradition was approved over the Christmas break when there are fewer people around to scramble to his defence. It's an absolute farce free {country|market} my arse.

Australian pilot Daniel Duggan to fight US extradition order

In short: Lawyers for Daniel Duggan's family are challenging his extradition to the United States in the Federal Court. The former US Marines pilot is due to face charges for allegedly training Chinese military pilots. What's next? Mr Duggan was due to be extradited by February, but this will now be paused until a judicial review is finalised.
