      Naw come on, China’s not known for their extreme degree of control over what they’ll allow their citizens to see or post online, that’s just wild talk man. They certainly don’t have enormous human and technological infrastructures dedicated to making sure that their internet is squeaky-clean and government-approved for all their citizens who they totally trust.

      The only reason it seems that way is because western countries would use that to control their populations, and you are likely from one of them and are fed anti-china propaganda.

        Please define anti-China propaganda.

        Is it that the Chinese have extreme wealth inequality while cranking out more billionaires than any other country?

        Oh wait, is it the old China is just another imperialist state that abuses minorities?

        China didn’t get the fastest growing economy by themselves. In fact, it was businesses in the US that gave them the money to do what they did. This means that China is great because of the US not despite it.

        I get that confused westerners get a China boner when they get disillusioned by their governments. I think that these sort of people are just reactionary and can’t see the bigger picture. There are no good guys.
