Of course! Because we all know that China is perfect and humble and they never make mistakes, they've never once committed any crimes, they'd never ever do anything bad and they most definitely have the right to just take pand where and when they want and if you disagree, they'd definitely not disappear you...

It's so funny to see you hate so much on the US, and rightfully so, yet just lap up all the Chinese propaganda as if it's soup.

    Really missing the point

    I won't defend the US, it's a shit hole. The point is that the Chinese government has a long list of crimes as well yet here nobody wants to talk about that because reasons. I'm guessing there are a few paid actors here or something because how else can you ignore basic facts?

    Brainwashing by the US is evil, but from China? Aaaaalll fine

    Please explain the "long list of crimes" the communists are ignoring. There aren't paid actors here. What "basic facts" are the communists ignoring?

    Further, "brainwashing" doesn't exist. People license themselves to believe that that which they think benefits them is good, you can't force people into believing something against their will.

    There's something kinda ironic I realized.

    You see, the funny thing about being as focused on the lies about China as you are is that you end up not noticing the actual problems China has.

    And it shows here when you think about it: how else would you conclude that rejecting those lies is equivalent to saying China is perfect, than if you're not aware of any other problems China could have beyond what propagandists told you? Assuming you are arguing in good faith that is, which you making straw-mans don't exactly corroborate ngl.

    It's the same set of accounts posting Chinese propaganda, upvoting it and down voting everyone else. Thanks for pointing them out and challenging them.

    For some reason they feel the need to shout out how well china is doing. Guess the results aren't enough

    Can you explain what "Chinese propaganda" is? Is it just communists pushing back against western propaganda and responding with communist perspectives on China? Also, how did Phoenixz challenge anything?

    Naw. I'm tired of arguing with you guys only to be banned. As a Norwegian i see 100x more pro china propaganda than I see anti china propaganda. One has to ask one self why that is

    Not sure what you being Norwegian has to do with anything, but the reason you see a lot of pro-China sentiment on Lemmy is because Lemmy was made and is developed by communists, and Reddit banning communist spaces brought a lot of us here.

    It's a bit odd to act like people pushing anti-communism through vague complaining are "fighting the good fight," so to speak.

    You guys do this weird thing whenever this comes up where you pretend like anyone is saying China is perfect, when in fact we have more informed critiques of it than you. But engaging with what we actually say would be threatening to your worldview, so you have to pretend we said something else. It's really childish.

    Of course! That's totally what the meme say as we can all see and definitely not a straw-man you made up in your head. Clearly the peoples saying that think that China is perfect and can do no wrong as you can see from... erm... from... From somewhere, I don't have example but I'm sure you can definitely totally undoubtedly find an example somewhere.

    It's so funny how the only way you can think of to defend your ridiculous 1984 tech-dystopia narrative about China from criticism is to make a straw-man so you can pretend that our criticism of your narrative is the more ridiculous and over-the-top of the two.

    China has a labour wage inequality issue where the top wage earners earn significantly more than the bottom.

    Most communists will agree that this an issue, even china agrees that it is an issue and they are working on improving it.

    China isnt perfect but they aren't commiting genocide, and they sure are much better than most western nations.
