    The daily deluge of Chinese criticism is propaganda, even if it is all 100% true.

    Thank you very much for this explanation (/s, just to be safe).

      To give you an extreme example: imagine multiple times every day there was a story about what a shithole Mississippi was. Maybe you wouldn’t think much about it. I mean, Mississippi is a shithole. We all know it! Look at all these articles about it!

      But there are plenty of other shithole states. Would you ever stop to ask yourself why there are constantly so many stories published and posted about Mississippi?

        Another weird comparison. Mississippi isn’t a shithole imo, nor is China. But the Chinese government is a dictatorship, and so is Russia. They are bad. There are a lot of well-sourced reports from reliable sources you could read to learn about it.

        Look at OP’s (and their alt accounts) post history. It’s all day, everyday China-bad posts. It is what it is.

        I live in the states and I rarely get news stories about Mississippi. It’s got it’s problems but it’s not a world power that controls the voice of billions of people. Your analogy sucks.

          You mean the ridiculous example I thought up as counterfactual isn’t true? Holy shit! I know when to admit defeat. You win.
