A Wuhan native living in the U.S. is using TikTok to educate young people on the coronavirus and combat misconceptions.
A Chinese woman living in California is using TikTok to educate young social media users on the coronavirus and the reality of how it is impacting people in her home country.
Apart from the limited understanding that most people in the U.S. have of the outbreak, Li says she has a more “practical” perspective because of her family and friends living amid the disease in China. “We have a lot of younger people,” she says of TikTok users in the U.S. “The users are the ones that are open-minded. They want to try to use the new stuff, instead of using any existing and very successful platform.”
The best way to foster those connections with such a large audience, she realized, is not through the standard social media channels.
