Go for it. I have my doubts that there is really any mass migration of English language users to an all Chinese website to begin with. The whole thing feels like a propaganda campaign.

Idk, I went on there earlier and watched some of the live interactions, there does seem to be a large amount of English speaking people who are messaging the live creators and the creators are responding in their best possible English.

It's actually quite nice to see two different cultures coming together.

But I'm sure that if they wall off the rest of China to the US users the app will lose its shine and people will move on somewhere else.
