[–] throwaway2037 5mo ago ↗ I found this YouTube video from this news article: https://www.ft.com/content/d30d656e-2975-4940-8708-da4dc43cd...Edit: The YouTube video was released on 2026-01-15 and already has 63.7 million views. Yikes. Who is watching this video? Did they find a way to make it go viral on Chinese social media?
