Honestly doesn't matter if someone else buys it they'll just ruin it like Meta and Twitter. I mean after red note we've seen how much higher the standard of living is in China. The US propaganda on China has finally been exposed at least

At least the China gov doesn't hide what they are. I respect people who let me know they are going to stab me over the ones that act friendly and then backstabs you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
