It's honestly very wholesome to see this kind of interaction. On top of cute moments like Chinese users telling the new US users that they are their "spies," seeing a lot of blatant myth dispelling surrounding the PRC is great to help tear down the Red Scare.
tbf the people who will download this app are not scared by China in the first place
I was told that I was a spy in RL. Why would a European person learn Chinese? Clearly spy.
My own father asked me unironically if I was a "Chinese sympathizer" over dinner last night, and that was not the end of it.
Oh interesting! But very different experience, I was called a spy by Chinese people.
Edit: nevermind, he is just being rude.
Oh, sorry to mislead, let me clarify: I am being dismisive, and do not care about you
It really is like 50s anti-soviet paranoia
