Considering the trend is almost entirely about health stuff, it’s frustrating that they don’t mention our unaffordable health system or RFK. People are turning towards Chinese medicine because they can no longer trust their own medicine. Hot water with goji berries and morning lymphatic exercises might not help your ailment, but at least you know it’s not harming you or emptying your bank account.

This is not a ‘trend’ but a controlled influence campaign by the Chinese party-state.
There has been no “heavy sinophobia” but reports that were and still are critical about the Chinese government. Nor does the mainstream opinion now shift as people are still if not even more aware of Beijing’s atrocities. This is just an influencer saying something like that for money, and I would like to know who pays her.
The article itself says later:
And:
Sure, they are pleased. They control the entire campaign on social media.
As the article says at the end:
Yes, and there is a lot more what is not displayed on Chinese social media given the state’s censorship.
The headline and the article are highly misleading imo. This is pure Chinese Communist Party propaganda.
