The US is doing to Tik Tok what they did to Huawei; just because they are successful Chinese companies.

[@Shenzhou.]

Many Chinese have been overseas as tourists and students, so it can be said that Chinese more about the West, than the West know about China.

The problem with Facebook & KZbin algorithm is KZbin & Facebook have an agenda. Even after you thumb down certain type of content, it will recommend you that certain content. The worse part, it will try to "change you're preference" in the name of offering balanced view.

China entrepreneurs got to wait for American to invent something new before they copied and improved it. For example before there is Tiktok, there was KZbin. Before there is Alibaba, there was E-Bay. What technologies China have, it can trace back to western technology in its origin. If America no more invent new things, China got nothing to innovate or improve.

As China had prohibited the sale of TikTok's algorithm intellectual property (IP) to the USA, the only solution for the American politicians is to ban TikTok. However the backlash from the American young Tik Tok users will likely destroy these politicians future.

The reason why users stay longer on Tiktok is not just because they have a good algorithm. It’s because they have a more frictionless video watching experience and the short form video experience makes it better at keep Millenial/Gen Z’s short attention span compared to longer video which usually requires users to have longer attention spans. Tiktok also made it really easy for users to upload short form videos (filters/vfx, music, video editing) which gave the platform a bunch of content for the algo to recommend.

Then added production at home from the best around the world at a cheaper cost first, learnt from them as well as from the west knowledge centers. Then capitalized on building their own and the best the world can offer. Ladies and gentlemen, forget about China of the past. If anyone doesn’t yet understand that China is very much ahead in many fields and about to be top tech center in all fields shortly then they should go to the gym. Meanwhile the west is heavily on drugs snd focused on debating gender and lgbtq issues which are absolutely irrelevant.

China haven’t moved fast at all actually. Members of BRICS have been playing a long hand game for over 20 years. America nor NATO can win against Brazil, China, Russia, South Africa and the African Union (54 countries), parts of the Caribbean, and the new members of the Middle East. They’ve been smart waiting and working to cripple the dollar first and then eventually, WW3. I’m 🇺🇸 but our racist policies and missed opportunities around the world made us weak.

@@Stream_A937 China has moved ahead according to a well devised plan using money and resources from its allies. Why do you think they have whole towns that no one lives in? Who do you think will eventually live in those towns if needed? There are other countries although smaller have made advancements to like for example, Dubai and Japan. Why do you think Chinese have moved in record numbers in Africa and the Caribbean? If they can moved into Haiti and invest it’s over. BRICS is going to replace the USA because it failed to lead. China or any other country in earth couldn’t do nothing without the resources in Africa. Africa has 90% of the world’s platinum and chromium and Haiti have Iridium the rarest mineral on earth. Why do you think the US government sent the V.P. to Ghana recently? They see the world is advancing and leaving America and Europe behind and being vocal about doing so. Africa is the last place on earth with 70% of untapped resources. The have all the resources for war ships, cell phones, computers etc.. Those minerals aren’t in America or China. And since you chose to focus on LGBTQ (for your own personal reasons) which was not part of the topic I’ll go ahead and tell you what BRICS have in common. They all played no part in western colonization including Russia. South Africa had apartheid in the country but it was the old government of a small % of European migrants who still live there under the new government since the early 1990’s. America has been arrogant to think that their intellectual property wasn’t going to be stolen used against them when they sent their products to be made. And our dumb government is actually importing foods from a country they are threatening to go to war with! Why is supposedly the greatest country on earth getting any of its food from another country anyway? Greed and institutional racism it’s foundation will be the undoing of America if they don’t wake up. How does a country think it can survive importing (buying)more than they export (selling)?🤔

Mighty China!

Thank you brother ❤️

[@StriveNot]

Brilliant presentation, Cyrus. Your passionate insight and research, as usual, never disappoints!

[@bdsystemsb]

Its all about using underhand tactics when you cannot compete!

[@ryx0817]

Hey Cyrus. Can you make a video about what you think of the social pressure there is in China? There’s this feeling that everyone has to compete with each other in order to be successful. In Chinese they call it 卷, which is trying to outcompete others. This is widely knwon in China

[@maximme]

name another country where THERE IS NO SUCH pressure ? EVEN without internet, wasn't there social pressure in the 70s?

[@hardshell9236]

Even animals compete with animals in nature for territory and food and plants compete with other plants for sun🤦‍♀️

[@eddharm7329]

But sure there is no seppuku or harakiri……

@@eddharm7329 Agreed. If you look up countries by suicide rate, then other East Asian countries like Japan and South Korea are ahead of China in this field.

One thing the Western public does not realize -- social media is much more developed and much more active in China than in the West.

[@someoneout-there2165]

Tik Tok I heard is for the "young crowd" so probably two reasons people spend more time on it. Younger generation is on the phone more and also the videos, I think, are all really short. Keeps switching to new content.. less opportunity to check the clock on the phone 🤣

[@LT-mc8vj]

Cyrus, your videos are amazing. You must have spent days and hours to get into these information. Thanks for sharing.

[@CyrusJanssen]

I spend a lot of hours researching! Thanks for appreciating the hustle

[@Paxsina]

Love your videos Cyrus, but just as a side note, his name is Zhang, but you were pronouncing it like Jiang. Not easy I know!

[@williamgarcia1909]

CYRUS, THANKS FOR UR INSPIRING NEWS REGARDING THE INCREDIBLE SUCCESS OF YOUNG CHINESE TECH ENTREPRENEURS.

[@d00rm]

Thank you Cyrus for recap of Chinese Entrepreneurs Contributions to worldwide trends but what's the action that China took to American tech companies? Hope this missing link as addressed in your caption stated.

[@MarkYeung1]

Are the American techs welcomed in China?

So much for the American saying Chinese can’t innovate..lol

[@MarkYeung1]

That's a good video Cyrus. Good to see the success of Tik Tok. Hopefully, one day China can relax the internet censorship and Tik Tok and Douyin can merge together.

[@Shenzhou.]

Could you explain why those two companies should they merge together? The fact that _Tik Tok_ is separate from _Douyin,_ means that the Chinese government *doesn't have control* over _Tik Tok,_ so they can host servers overseas (i.e in America and Singapore). If Tik Tok and Douyin merge, then the US government would have the reason to ban the app.

[@MarkYeung1]

If the 2 companies merge, that will improve the communications between the users in China and out of China. Currently, internet users in China have limited access to sites out of China, and users overseas have many misconceptions about mainland China. By improving communications, it will promote understanding among different people.

[@MarkYeung1]

The fact that so many mainland Chinese users are participating in the comment section is proof that Chinese people are smart enough to deserve free internet.

[@Shenzhou.]

@@MarkYeung1 If the 2 companies merge, it means that Chinese government will *now have control* over _Tik Tok_ (instead of having separate servers for overseas clients) and this will give the US Congress ever more reason to ban this app, if those two companies merge.

[@Shenzhou.]

@@MarkYeung1 Another point to note is that is *100 percent possible* to access _TikTok_ (not _Douyin)_ while in China. However, if you merge the 2 companies, it means that the Chinese government will now have control over _Tik Tok_ and this will give the US Congress the reason to ban this app. By separating the companies, it will permit Tik Tok to set up overseas servers on USA to protect its users data.

[@kanpakloykan7105]

Actually, the politician spend their time on wacking each other with a sledge hammer that goes Tik-Tok, Tik-Tok. That's how they become like idiot as seen.😊

So what happened to TikTok? Why USA wants to ban it ?

Better question is, why did China ban youtube and Facebook.
