    Wow, has that “chinamaxxing” trend arrived even on Lemmy? Look at all the comments praising them here…

    Awful working conditions and little to no factory worker rights? Nah, environmentally friendly cars!

    Knowingly and intentionally screwing over every country they’ve had any major deal with? Nah, much needed competition.

    Spying and collecting data on you? Nah, it’s not as bad as US doing it.

    Even tourists are here praising them as if you’re not going there to give them your money and fawning on their tourist attractions. Like what did you expect, to treat you like they treat their minorities?

    …

    What a fucking joke this bootlicking thread is.

    “Forget all about the bad things done on the other sides of the world, I just want my [insert brand name] luxury/comfort.”

    Pathetic.
