It's even worse on Kuaishou (Douyin for more rural areas). [0] I always kind of bristle at the argument that this is somehow impacting what kids want too - PBS exists and spams their content as far and wide as possible, but US kids still end up preferring Cocomelon, Gabby's Doll House, etc. There's no reason to believe that Chinese youth just take what's given to them when there are literally millions of random livestreams (hard to regulate livestreamed content at that level) going on at any given time. As usual with China, what's likely going on is that someone is the CCP wants it to be true, so they 'make it true' and US media without local context takes it at face value.
