Sure but China and Taiwan are not on a state to state relationship. It’s not like when Taiwanese were all learning Japanese, obsessed with Japanese dramas and giving themselves Japanese names (the equivalence being made in blue press).
China is Taiwanas enemy and Xiaohongshu like all companies in China are ultimately subservient to the CCP and need to directly employ party officials
Personally I’ve noticed now that people have the attention span of a flea. I can be chatting with someone on Line and having a deep chat and then they literally ghost mid chat for hours. I guess that is the result of social media to the brain, lack of deep thoughts.
Like you did I got rid of all social media off.my phone with the exception of line. Saves lots of battery life and keeps fb from tracking everything. I guess Google can keep tracking me though
Yea i still have line too. I wish i could disable it, i’ve found with IG disabling it is as good as it not being on my phone, but if i need to use it i can enable it. I just feel better and less stressed without this stuff immediately available on my phone.
This guy is great. it’s no myth, people do have lesser attention spans and a worse ability to focus on tasks that require concentrated focus and attention.
I’ve even noticed that with simple things such as watching tv shows. no phone is a big difference.
But more dangerous is their potential for infiltration and control. We have enough problem in Taiwan with the CCP using Line to disseminate fake news and brainwash the older generation.
The CCP are very advanced in this respect. Having Taiwanese youth on their networks , mimicking and praising the popular culture and language is a very dangerous development. And it’s just the start, ever since 2015 China tech and culture has become more competitive and appealing. If China controls popular culture in Taiwan, how long before they convince young people they are Chinese?
