> his name is literally Mao

The guy didn't pick the name. "Mao" is the family name he inherited from his father. In the case of Mao Zedong and Mao Wenchao, they have the same family name, but that's about it. The two people aren't even from the same province.

Please, at least learn your lessons first. It's like suspecting everyone with the family name "Manson" to be a serial killer aspirant.

As a native Chinese I can assure you 小红书 and 红宝书 are as close semantically to each other as the words constipation and constitution. Few would relate those two.

Even the most leftist Chinese entrepreneurs avoid having their brand names associated to politics; it's just common sense.

Just here to confirm. I have facetime setup at 5am in the morning with my family across the pacific. I've also started to exercise regularly. It's been 2 months and my sleep pattern is exactly like yours, and I feel exactly like you do.

In Chinese there is 树(tree)大(big)招(attract)风(wind) but it is used in a way that implies the tree is innocent and the wind is at fault.

Indeed, I have a feeling that I kinda understand the material I'm listening, but the vocabulary I hear doesn't automatically become my own...

According to some estimations China spends about $12B annually on space programs. Almost on par with that of NASA. [1]

$3B is a good start, and I believe India will eventually catch up, but probably not very soon.
