What Chinese people post in the country's social media sphere is highly censored. It has nothing to do with reality.
Addition as I just stumbled upon this disgusting propaganda stuff spread by Chinese state media (and then by social media, in China as well as in the West)
The Philippines has condemned China’s state-run China Daily for broadcasting an AI-generated video depicting Filipinos as monkeys, calling the imagery “racist”, "offensive”, and “distressing” ...
The monkey in the China Daily video is thrown into the sea and blasted with water cannons after it pulls out a sheet of lyrics bearing the words "South China Sea arbitration award". Manila labelled the video “contemptible propaganda” and has demanded that the video be taken down immediately ...
This comes straight from one of the Chinese Communist Party's media outlets.
