I think this is one possible outcome that no-one seems to be talking about

The US might ruin XHS by using a bot/troll army to spur conflict and hate there. The US DoD has admitted to launching a disinformation campaign using hundreds of fake accounts to discredit Sinovac. So it won’t be surprising if they try a similar tactic of using bots and fake accounts in XHS especially since there would be fewer qualms.

This is short, but I’m just sharing my concerns…

  • China, is if anything, extremely proactive on these matters. At least on matters of fitness they take precautions to protect their people that might seem Draconian in the West, snorting or dry dosing creatinine or pre workout powder is banned even if accompanied by a disclaimer that it isn’t a narcotic, no syringes or pills can be present in any image with a fitness influencer (even if they are promoting products delivered in that way), celebration of extreme dieting (pinching the skin around the belly button or jawline to show no fat, the “skull face” etc.) needs a disclaimer about how “contest prep” is an extreme 6 week process done by professionals and only usually once or twice a year.

    I’m certain it won’t be as easy to poison the well as some might think.

      This is amazing, actually. It’s almost like having a single party dedicated to solving social issues has its benefits
