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”
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.
And then in another Lemmy thread right now, praise for the Chinese on their affordable EVs that will save the environment.

Not a whole lot in between.

I am convinced it’s a Chinese propaganda account shared by multiple people and/or bots.
well it says in the article they have no proof and this is just a hunch…
and ive seen enough of these to be suspicious every time.

It’s almost as if nuanced discussion is discouraged on platforms like this.
Decent discussion get bridaged and muddled by those who want to maintain status quo.
its not the chinese wanting status quo though
Anyone with an exploit wants to keep exploiting it.
what exploit?
Its a generic statement.
Any actual human should have been able to understand the significance of the sentance.
are there exploits or you just think there are?
Maybe painting 1.4 billion people with the same brush is a bad idea. Who’d have guessed?
