    Depending on where you go, it’s either “this country is a fascist regime as reported by these hundreds of outlets worldwide and here’s the shady shit they’re doing”

    Or

    “This tragically misunderstood DEMOCRACY (they call their leader PRESIDENT not DICTATOR emoji spam) is leading the world in literally every metric, have made 10,000 breakthroughs in every science but THE WEST won’t let them share, here’s 3 state sponsored media outlets confirming what I just said gif spam

    Not a whole lot in between.

      And any argument against China will be summarized “China bad” in bad faith argument so brazen that it’s almost impressive. For example, TikTok is blameless because if you oppose it, you’re just saying “China bad”. Fuck the Internet sometimes.

      I’ve blocked exactly one person on Lemmy and it’s Yothgos or Yogthos or whatever the fuck their name is. They’re either a propagandist in China or just a very sad person who posts prolifically about how amazing China is, dismissing any criticism against it. It’s weird, sad, and annoying seeing them pop up in any thread about China. I assume they have or will pop in this thread but I don’t know as they’re blocked.

      Aren’t you a little simple minded to understand a country as fucking huge as China has vastly different regions, operations and corporations and hierarchies that are rather diverse? Even in the same sector, let alone fishing vs advanced science vs cars

      Why is it that everything bad that happens in America you’re eager to minimize the impact and range (JUST a bad president, JUST a bad state, JUST a bad politician) but when the absolute slightest misdeed of China (over a billion people btw) is mentioned it’s all LITERALLY ALL OF CHINA IS EVIL. BURN AND NUKE THE ÜNTERMENCH. THE SUPERIOR WHITE RACE WILL EDUCATE THE SAVAGES with you

      Could it be that you’re brainwashed? Nah, of course, it’s me who’s a Chinese bot, that’s probably what you’re thinking right now isn’t it

      Fucking pathetic
