An American user on RedNote has called for affordable healthcare for all after being inspired by conversations with Chinese users on the platform. The user shared her astonishment at the differences between the U.S. and Chinese healthcare systems, emphasizing the need for reform in her own country.
“I was blown away by my discussions with Chinese users,” she said. “I had no idea about the medical costs in China until I joined RedNote.”
The exchange highlighted how cultural interactions on social media platforms like RedNote can bridge gaps in understanding and reveal stark contrasts in living conditions, such as housing, work, education, and healthcare between the two countries.
The American user expressed frustration with the U.S. healthcare system, stating that citizens are “beholden to the pharmaceutical companies and lobbyists,” enduring what she described as an “obsolete and horrible” system.
“We need affordable healthcare for everyone,” she emphasized, calling for changes that would benefit all residents in the United States.
The dialogue on RedNote has not only deepened the understanding between Chinese and American users but also challenged misconceptions and myths perpetuated by some Western media outlets about China's social development.
Such interactions underscore the potential of social media to foster global conversations and bring important social issues to the forefront, encouraging young people worldwide to engage in discussions about topics that affect their lives and communities.
