@big_fig1218@AccountNr24@LeftwingH they started letting them access overseas servers instead. And well, you know the rest—China built that damn https://t.co/uabyICQD5n yeah, there’s real blood feud and deep bad blood between us and Turkey, which is why you see such wild Twitter wars today.~6
@big_fig1218@AccountNr24@LeftwingH That made the government so mad that they required foreign internet companies to follow Chinese laws if they wanted to operate there, or else get out.

@big_fig1218@AccountNr24@LeftwingH Trust me, you definitely don't wanna see this. The dragon locked up in here isn't like these arguing kids—it's epic-scale ad and commercial accounts. That's when you'll see real Chinese AI bots.
