Move over, TikTok – there’s a new app connecting Gen Z across the Pacific! Young Americans and Chinese are sparking unexpected friendships on RedNote, a decade-old Chinese platform now gaining global momentum. 🚀
One Ohio user shared how his views shifted after chatting with peers in China: \"I thought traditions were fading there, but people celebrate their history and ethnic diversity in ways U.S. media never shows.\" From WWII gratitude stories to debates about housing prices 🇺🇸🇨🇳, these digital pen pals are tackling real issues – one DM at a time.
🔥 Hot topics include:
• Job markets (spoiler: both sides stress about careers!)
• Education systems: Gaokao vs. SATs
• Healthcare debates that would make your doc blush 💊
The Ohio user’s final take? \"We need less politicians and more people sliding into each other’s DMs.\" Could this be the start of Zoomer-led diplomacy? Only time – and algorithm updates – will tell. 👾
