The China-centric video sharing platform is expanding with a new international app and an English version of its website -- with no identity verification (for now at least)

yeah...ok...but no thanks...the idea is to use youtube less, not youtube++ more...but I guess a hosting alternative is good. Just not for anything even remotely critical of China.

and how many videos critical of China do you watch daily?

On purpose? Not much.

The bigger concern would be when a criticism of China would be an important facet of a topic that would be covered, and omitting that would detract from the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the content.

Imagine if video hosting platforms couldn't call out any of the stuff Trump does as wrong or incompetent. So so many topics would have to be ignored entirely to avoid offending the administration. Currently China criticism is a little less critical in the moment by comparison, but things shift over time.
