This Tiktok ban is going to make people in the US do what they never did before and learn a second language. 万岁
什么万岁?
More like start learning a second language and give up after a week.

And now 30 years later, I know like a dozen languages at a basic level, but still good enough to be sent all over the world on business trips for free.
I wonder how many 7 year olds are picking up Mandarin to protest this tiktok thing.
