    Is that a red note on your app screen? Or are you just happy to leave TikTok! The American occupation of another app begins

    As the Supreme Court deliberates on whether to uphold the law banning TikTok in the United States, users are taking matters into their own hands. With memes and mysic…

    The potential ban has sparked a wave of creativity, nostalgia, and uncertainty across the platform.

    Some TikTok users are posting their “final” videos, often set to somber music from Titanic or the Likea Prayer choir remix from Deadpool and Wolverine, marking the end of their accounts in a bittersweet farewell. Others are scrambling to download their content, preparing for the possibility of a complete blackout if the app is banned.

    But what’s next for these users? The controversy surrounding TikTok centers on allegations of its ties to ByteDance, a Chinese company accused of harvesting U.S. user data. Ironically, many users appear to be migrating to another Chinese app—RedNote.

    RedNote, an app similar to Pinterest, has surged in popularity over the weekend. Unlike TikTok, it has no connection to ByteDance, but it’s unmistakably a Chinese platform. For many TikTok users, who strongly oppose Meta-owned platforms like Instagram and Facebook, RedNote seems like a viable alternative.

    The irony is striking: TikTok is on the verge of being banned due to alleged ties to the Chinese government, yet RedNote—a fully Chinese app, complete with Mandarin text and cultural roots—is now being embraced as the “safe space” for what’s being hashtagged as #TikTokRefugees.

    It’s almost poetic in a sense. Imagine a quiet, niche app in China, possibly monitored by its government, suddenly flooded with American content creators declaring, “This is our new home!” It’s a strange display of digital colonialism, with users claiming a foreign platform as their refuge.

    Whether RedNote will remain the go-to destination for TikTok users remains to be seen. With millions searching for a new platform, the future of RedNote and others like it hangs in the balance. For now, all eyes are on the Supreme Court, which is expected to make its decision by January 19.

    What will the digital landscape look like post-TikTok?

    The clock is ticking..

  • China VirusES? Can we believe these social media reports? Before you panic let’s be sensible

    China VirusES? Can we believe these social media reports? Before you panic let’s be sensible

    PTSD hits the planet when news of China viruses breaking out occurs–especially when reports indicate high death rates, infections of younger people, and crematoriums being overwhelmed..

    This is what is being reported now across social media: China is facing a surge in multiple viruses, including Influenza A, HMPV, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and COVID-19, overwhelming hospitals and crematoriums. Children’s hospitals are particularly strained by rising pneumonia and “white lung” cases.

    This quote comes to us from sources quoting someone named Ms. Wang:

    Ms. Wang, a funeral director in Zhejiang, described long cremation lines, with VIP furnaces in use, emitting heavy smoke. She likened the scene to a bustling New Year market. As a result, the government has declared a state of emergency in response to the escalating epidemic.

    And a Youtube video from ‘Decoding China’ is another source..

    BUT IS ANY OF THIS TRUE!?

    Caution before believing headlines.. delve deep. There is no official mention of China declaring any emergencies.. additionally there is nothing from official health sources like the World Health Organization.

    And while we are sure Ms. Wang exists.. who is she and where is she? Credible sources are necessary before we devolve into panic.

    There were official reports in November of a surge of pneumonia in China along with other respiratory diseases. So it is very likely some hospitals are now being overwhelmed. Is it a COVID-like situation?

    It should be noted that some sleuths have discovered some truths: That videos and clips being shown may be from years ago.

    There are no statements or reliable reports to support these claims. A Community Note on X read: “There is no information to back up the claim that China has declared a state of emergency over epidemics overwhelming the hospitals and crematoriums in the country.”..

    x x x

    This is not to say we aren’t in store for wild pandemics in 2025–who knows. But right now, at this moment, despite rumors there appears to be no credible sources AT THIS TIME that any of these events in China are occurring. That could change quickly–the Communist government may be keeping a tighter lid on things. Perhaps these rumors will be true.. and maybe Ms. Wang is right. Until confirmation.. keep your head up high and that mask in the back pocket..

  • The WHO asks China about pneumonia case spike

    The WHO asks China about pneumonia case spike

    This reporting from the Associated Press:

    Chinese officials say they did not detect any “unusual or novel diseases” in the country, the World Health Organization said Thursday, following an official request by the U.N. health agency for information about a potentially worrying spike in respiratory illnesses and clusters of pneumonia in children.

    WHO cited unspecified media reports and a global infectious disease monitoring service as reporting clusters of undiagnosed pneumonia in children in northern China and formally requested more details from China earlier this week.

    Reports: U.S. Hunts Chinese Malware That Could Disrupt American Military Operations

    The Biden administration is hunting for malicious computer code it believes China has hidden deep inside the networks controlling power grids, communications systems and water supplies that feed military bases in the United States and around the world, according to American military, intelligence and national security officials.

    The discovery of the malware has raised fears that Chinese hackers, probably working for the People’s Liberation Army, have inserted code designed to disrupt U.S. military operations in the event of a conflict, including if Beijing moves against Taiwan in coming years.

    Well, network news goes wall-to-wall with coverage of the United States military preparing to shoot down the Chinese spy balloon, CNN gave that a cold shoulder.

    Like for real..

    While other networks showcased live video of military jets circling the balloon, CNN took a different approach and went to a a reporter on the street of New York City, covering “severe weather“..

    All eyes on the Atlantic: airspace closed for national security operation

    The Pentagon has apparently formulated a plan to take down the Chinese spy device, with all major news networks and Internet sites honing in on imagery of the balloon, as it enters air space over South Carolina.

    It is anticipated that the government plan to shoot. The balloon down will occur once its exit takes place and it makes its way over the Atlantic Ocean.

    Suspected Chinese spy balloon found over northern U.S.. Defense Dept officials have debated whether to shoot it down!

    The U.S. military has been monitoring a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that has been hovering over the northern U.S. for the past few days, and military and defense leaders have discussed shooting it out of the sky, according to two U.S. officials and a senior defense official.

    “The United States government has detected and is tracking a high-altitude surveillance balloon that is over the continental United States right now,” Pentagon spokesperson Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder told NBC News. “We continue to track and monitor it closely.”

    MORE ON THIS DEVELOPING STORY..

    A Chinese surveillance balloon is collecting intelligence over the continental United States “right now,” senior U.S. officials disclosed Thursday, acknowledging that the Pentagon has been monitoring the craft for several days and briefly considered shooting it down before concluding that doing so posed a safety risk.

    The balloon is traveling at an altitude “well above commercial air traffic and does not present a military or physical threat to people on the ground,” Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder, a Pentagon spokesman, told reporters in a hastily arranged news conference where he addressed the ongoing situation. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) continues to track the balloon’s course, but officials would not specify its present whereabouts.

    And this..

    Montana’s Republican Senator Steve Daines sent a letter to the Department of Defense (DOD) demanding answers on the suspected Chinese spy balloon spotted above his state.

    Daines sent a late letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Thursday amid reports of the suspected surveillance balloon over U.S. airspace.

  • CHINA MAY HAVE DETECTED ALIEN SIGNALS

    CHINA MAY HAVE DETECTED ALIEN SIGNALS

    China Says It May Have Detected Signals From Alien Civilizations !

    This is being reported by Bloomberg, among other sources:

    China said its giant Sky Eye telescope may have picked up signs of life beyond Earth, according to a report by the state-backed Science and Technology Daily, which then appeared to have deleted the report and posts about the discovery.

    The narrow-band electromagnetic signals detected by Sky Eye – the world’s largest radio telescope – differ from previous ones captured and the team is further investigating them, the report said, citing Zhang Tonjie, chief scientist of an extraterrestrial civilization search team co-founded by Beijing Normal University, the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of California, Berkeley.

    The suspicious signals could, however, also be some kind of radio interference and requires further investigation, Zhang added.

    It isn’t clear why the report was apparently removed from the website of the Science and Technology Daily, the official newspaper of China’s science and technology ministry, though the news had already started trending on social network Weibo and was picked up by other media outlets, including state-run ones.

    Here is a flashback article from 2016 where it was described what China’s plans were with this telescope.. they made it known they were going to search for alien life..
