Interesting. I read elsewhere that one potential "ulterior motive" behind steering American teens onto Rednote is to expose them to a whitewashed and therefore glorified version of the Chinese lifestyle. Some American "influencers" are now claiming that they have been lied to about how bad China is, and that it's actually superior to America in terms of cost and ease of living. Of course, the whole point of that is to normalize and glorify Communism, censorship and everything that goes along with it.

Funny to think that this goal may have backfired horribly on the perpetrators ...
