@pstAsiatech Not accurate, 😔 these people are influential in the BAT age, not the AI age.

Legal and ethical concerns also cloud $Li. Apart from the controversial intersection of activism and reaping fans, $Li's management has come under fire due to technical mishaps and poor planning. The community was skeptical: Is this a genuine effort or a grab for personal gain?

[Tommy Wilson @DrChina5]

Teacher Li, the overseas anti-CCP account with nearly 2 million followers on X, launched $Li, a new cryptocurrency, to fund its own operations and support other free speech initiatives on Chinese social media. But it was riddled with issues and the motive was widely questioned.

@KennedyCSIS Elon is the American Hu Xueyan, a top business man with a government position. Such a guy will be powerful but without a good ending.

[Tommy Wilson @DrChina5]

@SpokespersonCHN China is begging Trump now, which is the right move.

[Tommy Wilson @DrChina5]

@WSJ They need a new party, not one individual candidate.

[Tommy Wilson @DrChina5]

@FoxNews Why you have to report the citizenship here, only because it is Chinese?

@washingtonpost The Biden administration wanted to ban TikTok, remember?

[Tommy Wilson @DrChina5]

@pstAsiatech @elonmusk will buy TikTok.

@WSJ The Chinese economy still heavily depends on international trade, particularly with US and EU. There are no other options for Xi Jinping but seeking collaborations and fixing relationships with the West.

[Tommy Wilson @DrChina5]

@ForeignAffairs @jessicacweiss Trump was elected as the majority of American people wanted better economy and lower living expenses. It is likely that Trump administration will seek more collaborations with Xi Jiping, rather than trade wars. Xi Jinping is also under pressure from domestic economy.

This balancing act reveals the risk in oversimplifying the Chinese-American electorate. It’s not just about being pro- or anti-China—voters here navigate the fine line between condemning authoritarianism and resisting racial discrimination.

[Tommy Wilson @DrChina5]

Both Trump and Kamala are softening their stance on the CCP ahead of voting day, hoping to appeal to Chinese-American voters. But the gamble may backfire—many are critical of the CCP, while others see anti-CCP rhetoric as dangerously close to racism. A risky miscalculation.

[Tommy Wilson @DrChina5]

The Chinese American family appeared not to understand what the white Trump supporters were yelling. Nor did they fully grasp what another four years of Trump would truly mean for racism against the Asian community and the rise of white supremacy.

Great Neck, NY. White Trump supporters yell "take that shit back to China" at a carful of... Asian Trump supporters. Sometimes you get what you deserve. https://t.co/wIZTcRtlm2

Thanks to China. This is just an overrated drama, based on such an old story, old novel, last version of the TV drama was in 80s. The West hates China so much that they must find an alternative to give awards to.

@shaunrein These legacy media can't survive nowadays in marketplace as no one is watching them. Propaganda funding is their only possible revenue source.

[Tommy Wilson @DrChina5]

You have to understand the fact that legacy media can't make money by themselves but rely on such propaganda funding.

China is celebrating its best-ever performance at an overseas Olympics (40 gold, 91 medals overall), but I just did a Where's-Wally-style search on this Eurosport tribute poster and couldn't find a single Chinese athlete.

[Tommy Wilson @DrChina5]

True.
