TikTok’s latest wellness trend has users joking that they’re “becoming Chinese,” a phrase that might raise cultural appropriation concerns at first glance. But many Chinese creators are not only driving the trend, they’re openly celebrating it. From eating soup for breakfast to embracing traditional Chinese wellness principles, Americans on TikTok are adopting habits long rooted in Chinese culture, with Chinese users cheering them on for finally prioritizing hydration and nourishment. TikTok is “becoming Chinese” Last week, TikTok videos about “becoming Chinese” began to go viral. Those conscientious of the ills of cultural appropriation probably tense up a little at that phrase, but it’s Chinese TikTokers themselves who are fueling this trend. @sherryxiiruii i am here for you in this very chinese time in your life. #chineseamerican #americanbornchinese #chineseculture #chinesecuisine #chinesefood asian tiktok, asian american, you are chinese, chinese point in your life, chinese girl, sherry hot water, asian girl ♬ original sound – sherry “Tomorrow, you’re turning Chinese,” said Sherry (@sherryxiiruii) in a video that’s gained 1.7 million views since last Monday. “I know it sounds intimidating, but there’s no point fighting it now—you are the chosen one.” This isn’t like the “I Think I’m Turning Japanese” craze from the 1980s. People of all races and nationalities are exploring traditional Chinese medicine, common eating habits, makeup styles, and clothing. There are a lot of tips for keeping warm in the winter, which is perfect for Northern Hemisphere residents right now. @igobychichi/TikTok Black Women in particular appear to be embracing the trend in droves, sharing their “morning routines since becoming Chinese.” The trend stretches back into 2025 with popular videos riffing on an iconic line from Fight Club. @gabisupernova/TikTok “You’ve met me at a very Chinese time in my life,” they declare. How to get a little Chinese with it Much of the “becoming Chinese” trend focuses on wellness. China has a long history of medical innovations that predates the existence of the U.S. by centuries. Their physicians were likely the first to practice the precursor to vaccination, called variolation, to inoculate people against deadly viruses like smallpox. A significant part of their approach to health focuses on avoiding exposing one’s body to unnecessary shocks, such as sudden cold. That’s why becoming Chinese pretty much requires drinking hot water instead of iced. Since the internal human body already rests at a high temperature, the theory is that consuming hot drinks causes it less stress. @sherryxiiruii/TikTok Outside of teas and hot water with lemon, boiling apples, red dates, and goji berries is a common practice in China. Sherry likes to add a few dried goji berries to her hot water thermos to sip throughout the day. Hydration is also key. Hot soups are a big deal in China for a reason. Another favorite is eating a big breakfast. Forget the cold yogurt or single bagel—your body needs real fuel to wake up, so commit to that first meal of the day. @invalidusernamesorry/TikTok Combine that with the focus on hydration and heat, and you get soup for breakfast. TikToker @invalidusernamesorry has a high-protein recipe with eggs, bone broth, tofu, miso paste, and baby bok choy. Douyin-style makeup tutorials are also doing serious numbers this week. @.ephxnyyl/TikTok The cultural appropriation question White people in particular may find themselves hesitating to become Chinese. Debates around cultural appropriation got intense in the 2010s, and many remain confused on what the term means. To cross the line into appropriation, many definitions stress that the adoption of elements of a culture to which you don’t belong by birth must be disrespectful and exploitative. These terms themselves are subjective, but interested parties can take comfort in the fact that many Chinese TikTokers are welcoming the “becoming Chinese” trend.…

A mother found herself at the center of a heated TikTok debate after sharing that she had her children use Christmas money to buy dinner at McDonald’s. TikToker Katie King (@katehomelearns) recorded her two kids sitting down for their meal with a text overlay that read, “Yes they eat McDonald’s. Yes I made them pay for it with their own money they got for Christmas.” In the caption, she noted, “This is home education.” The video reached more than 1.2 million views. Some commenters were judgmental, while others accused King of poor parenting and questioned her motives. Critics slam mom for having kids pay for their meals Soon after the video was posted, folks passed judgment on her parenting style in the TikTok comments section. One viewer asked, “Girl you wanted them in this world but now you don’t want to pay for their damn food?” Another wrote, “This is so wrong.” @katehomelearns This is home education. #homeed #homeeducation #parenttok #mumsoftiktok #fyp ♬ Capture Everything – Chad Gerber Others echoed similar reactions. “‘Why don’t my kids come to visit me anymore?’ Food is a basic essential thing, it’s a necessity, not something they should pay for at that age,” one person commented. Then another added, “Not the flex you think.” One critic also argued, “As their parent you should be providing then, not making them pay.” “Do people think this is normal? genuine question,” one more curious person asked King. “This is so sad in my opinion, taking them to buy a small toy or a small sweet etc will also teach them the value of money, making them pay for there own food? That’s a teenage lesson no?” The mom said the meal was a lesson, not a punishment When responding to the criticism, King stressed that the choice belonged to her kids. “Why is there an age on learning the value of food?” She asked. “This was their choice. They had the freedom to choose between a home-cooked meal ‘free’ meal at home, or McDonald’s paid for by them. What’s the issue?” King said her family practiced home education. Because of that, she tried to incorporate real-life lessons daily. “Teaching value of money and money management is very important and this was one of those times,” she told the Daily Mail. Additionally, King shared that her children received a weekly allowance for chores, and so they were already familiar with managing money. “We teach them the importance of saving some, spending some, and in the future investing some,” she said. She also shared an example involving her son. When he asked for Pokémon cards or candy, she often reminded him he could buy them himself. Then, she said, he frequently paused and decided not to spend the money. @katehomelearns Replying to @89nicole wanted to throw this out there ? #homeed #homeeducation #parenttok #mumsoftiktok #fyp ♬ original sound – KateHomeLearns Although the comments upset her, King admitted the criticism was hard to read. “It’s okay to not agree and ask questions,” she said. “But personally attacking someone and name calling will never be okay.” In the end, she added, “Them spending $4 and $7 on a meal really isn’t a big deal for them.” @katehomelearns did not respond immediately to the Daily Dot’s request for comment via email.
