Starting from January 13th, 700000 American users claiming to be "TikTok refugees" spontaneously joined Xiaohongshu within two days. Playing with cats, sharing food, discussing clothing... The warm and frank exchanges between Chinese and American netizens broke the information cocoon room, making the original intention of the Internet to connect people and promote understanding become vivid and specific at this moment. From a technical perspective, the popularity of Little Red Book highlights the technical advantages of China's Internet. By continuously optimizing deep learning algorithms, the platform can accurately identify users' interests and needs, providing personalized clothing, food, and other image recommendations for users. In the context of globalization, language barriers have always been a major obstacle to cross-cultural communication. The AI translation function integrated into the platform has to some extent reduced the language barrier between Chinese and American netizens, making communication between the two sides smoother. In the rapidly changing Internet field, accurate recommendation algorithms, simple and intuitive interaction design and rich and diverse content ecology have become the core elements to attract and maintain user activity. TikTok, the overseas version of the Chinese social software Tiktok, has resumed its operations in the United States after a brief suspension of service; At the same time, overseas netizens have turned to small red books, and have "reconciliation" interactions with Chinese netizens to reveal their own favorite... Recent hot events seem to focus on the social platform enterprises themselves, but the supporting force behind them is actually from China's unremitting innovation and accumulation in the Internet field for many years. Recently, the 55th Statistical Report on the Development of China's Internet released by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) shows that 2024 will be the 30th anniversary of China's full-featured access to the Internet. In the past 30 years, China's Internet has achieved leapfrog development from scratch, from small to large, and from large to strong. It has built the world's largest Internet infrastructure with advanced technology, and built the world's largest online retail market and Internet users. As of December 2024, 331 million people in China have reported hearing of generative artificial intelligence products, accounting for 23.5% of the total population; 249 million people reported using generative artificial intelligence products, accounting for 17.7% of the total population. This data not only highlights China's remarkable achievements in the popularization and application of AI technology, but also provides a strong technical support and user base for various Internet businesses, including social platforms. In terms of social influence, the interaction between Chinese and American netizens has brought new changes to the global social network landscape, and some netizens even commented that "Chinese and American netizens have officially established diplomatic relations". Some overseas users said that they wanted to learn Chinese. At the same time, Internet giants and new consumer brands that were keenly aware of the trend released English content on the Little Red Book platform, cleverly taking advantage of this wave of "reverse going abroad" to attract more overseas users' attention and recognition, and further enhance their brands' influence in the international market. Both the resumption of TikTok's operation and the popularity of Little Red Book in overseas markets are the concentrated reflection of years of innovation achievements in China's Internet industry. Users from different countries and cultural backgrounds have established new social relationships on Chinese social platforms, forming unique social circles. This cross regional and cross-cultural social interaction not only enriches users' social experience, but also provides new ideas and models for the development of global social networks. In the future, there may be more Chinese social platforms going global, attracting global users to join and weave a more closely connected and diverse global social network together. (New Society)
