I think its name is actually Xiaohongshu - "Little Red Book" (you know, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotations_from_Chairman_Mao_T... )

They are simply different translations, period. The book you mentioned is usually referred to as "红宝书" (Red Precious Book). Don't know where the translation on Wikipedia comes from.

    Search "小红书 毛語錄" in Google. You can see it is referenced in both way.

    The name 红宝书 is popular in mainland China. Chinese from Taiwan or other se asian community just call it 小红书 or 毛語錄

Hahaha

Guess what

1. As you mentioned, Xiaohongshu, is the same name of Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung

2. The CEO of Xiaohongshu has the surname Mao

3. The headquarters of Xiaohongshu is located near the site of the First National Congress of CPC

obviously, this is part of CPC's conspiracy

    If that is the first thing Americans do that makes you worry.... well, I'm sure you have some interesting takes.

      Not the first, but the general idea that the usa behave like ignorant entitled kids with too much power is indeed very worrying for the rest of the world.

      Yeah… This thread exemplifies the HN trope of the “analytical type” who thinks they’re more social and more intelligent than others while coming across as bizarrely out of touch.

      It’s basically the r/athiesm equivalent.

    They don't know. The average american is super uneducated and can barely read a graph. Most of the ones that heard about it probaly did thanks to the netlix adaptation to the 3 body problem, but certainly not school.
