There is no political content right now, my point is that in case of escalating conflict or proxy-conflict with China they could absolutely run disinformation through this channel in a way that is somewhat transparent to their users to spark anti-war counter-movements in the US.

Realistically speaking, the platform would just get permanently banned if it was being used to spread propaganda in a manner that harms a wartime effort. Otherwise, I just don't see China risking one of the most promising gems to have come out of its internet technology industry in a long time.
