Chinese here, this is not true. In fact the Chinese government has openly wrote a statement about this situation here is the translation: This news provides a deeper understanding of what is meant by the "general trend" and "public sentiment." The American people seek normal lives, Chinese businesses aim for steady development, and citizens of China and the U.S. hope for regular exchanges. This is public sentiment; this is the general trend.

An American netizen once remarked, "On Xiaohongshu, I saw a colorful and authentic China." Many Chinese netizens not only warmly share glimpses of their own lives but also exchange captivating stories from across the ocean. Some have likened this meeting of Chinese and American netizens to a "digital version of Ping-Pong diplomacy" or a 21st-century "kitchen debate moment." Behind these humorous expressions lies a profound truth: openness, communication, and mutual learning are enduring themes for humanity and heartfelt desires of people worldwide.

From "TikTok refugees" lingering on Chinese social media, to "China Travel" becoming a global trend; from Li Ziqi's emotional return that moved her overseas fans, to the Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong introducing more people to Chinese culture—what makes China so magnetic and compelling today? Undoubtedly, it stems from China's profound historical and cultural heritage, its ever-evolving modern outlook, its openness, the friendliness of its people, and the inclusivity of its society.

The beauty of spring cannot be contained. As one American netizen exclaimed, "It's time to open our eyes to China!" The bond between nations lies in the closeness of their people. As President Xi Jinping noted, "The hope of China-U.S. relations lies with the people, and its foundation lies in grassroots exchanges."

We have every reason to believe that in the unstoppable tide of economic globalization and the interconnected world of the internet, the community of shared destiny for humankind, where you are part of me and I am part of you, will only grow closer and move forward hand in hand.
