Apparently they blocked access to Xiaohongshu on the desktop by polluting DNS entries, which can be easily circumvented by just changing DNS server address network settings. This didn't affect the mobile app, which can be accessed without a VPN.

It's very funny how Xiaohongshu went from a largely domestic app to multiple time international headline maker this year without them doing a thing. xigma-male

Weixin has been doing it for 10+ years, (one of the reasons it's miles better than its only competition, LINE) but i haven't tried the function in XHS yet

WeChats is better because you can translate entire pages while XHS requires you to click each comment individually for some reason.

Both are solid enough to translate information but kinda shit at any kinda tone or slang.
