      What’s funny is I can’t tell if you’re talking about younger Americans refusing to hate China or older Americans chanting “China Bad!”

          300,000 people are on the organ donor wait-list in China at this very moment.

          You’re a perfect example of the power of propaganda lol

                The US has a ton of problems, I’m not saying it’s a great country to live in necessarily (I wouldn’t move there given the choice). But it’s not a dictatorship where laws are optional for the government.

                Maybe freedom doesn’t mean anything to you when you’re not the one being reeducated though.

        Both tbh

        American failures are being used to prop up Chinese successes. This is particularly true in urbanism discussions. China is by no means perfect and thinking that they are is harmful to progress.

              I’m a fan of their life expectancies surpassing the US - though that’s barely an accomplishment, every developed country seems to have beaten America in that regard lol

                This is really just common knowledge at this point.

                E: looks like the CCP has even infiltrated the mods of this community.

                  Its actually all sourced from one single guy who has stated it is his mission from God to bring down China.

                  It’s common knowledge because propaganda is incredibly effective.

                    LOL what? Which guy is that?

                    propaganda is incredibly effective

                    That much becomes more clear to me every day. I didn’t realize there were CCP trolls in Lemmy already.

                  I get paid 100000000 Xi bucks every time I remove a post. Obviously Lemmy is the most important social media platform in the world that China needs to control at all costs. The communists have even banned brainrot racism on this subreddit.

              No no no, clearly you’re suffering under Western propaganda. In China there is zero crime and everyone gets a golden car on their 15th birthday. It’s true and If you disagree you’re a propaganda chicken. (/s)

              That’s why it costs significantly less to import virtually everything from the opposite side of the planet.

              This is not true. It’s so cheap to get the goods here because Canada and USA subsidizes the freight services from taxpayer money.

                Isreal showing us what an actual genocide of a captive Muslim population looks like

                …are you under the impression that this is the first genocide in the history of the human race?

                While the Americans are committing a far worse genocide in Palestine, the Uyghurs are definitely being genocided in China.
