"The Chinese government bans all new investment in Israel"

Where @Draegur@lemmy.zip gets harassed for this comment:

wow, a lot of the propaganda I’ve had shoveled down my gullet all along has just been straight up false, hasn’t it. China was never the ‘bad guy’…

Better in every metric? Try being Chinese and criticizing the government online, and see what happens to you. That’s a pretty scary metric. The US is fucked right now, but at least there is hope in a democracy, while it lasts. If we ever become a full on totalitarian dystopia like China, it’s over. It makes me sad to think that, with modern surveillance technology, there is probably no way for them to dig themselves out of it at this point.
