    Please define anti-China propaganda.

    Is it that the Chinese have extreme wealth inequality while cranking out more billionaires than any other country?

    Oh wait, is it the old China is just another imperialist state that abuses minorities?

    China didn’t get the fastest growing economy by themselves. In fact, it was businesses in the US that gave them the money to do what they did. This means that China is great because of the US not despite it.

    I get that confused westerners get a China boner when they get disillusioned by their governments. I think that these sort of people are just reactionary and can’t see the bigger picture. There are no good guys.

      Is chinas wealth inequality worse than america? Do you really know what’s happening in Xinjiang? Chinas economy is the fastest growing because the western world exported every bit of skilled labor there. The west trained them on everything they know, and then stopped training their own people on the same things. China has problems but people constantly acting like its a third world country and so far beneath any western country is extremely laughable.

      Even more rididiculous are comparisons to the US which is about to be shattered apart by civil war.

        Yes, by far. Yes. I already explained their economy is propped up by trade. They did not create it in a vacuum.

        Much of China is rural with great wealth inequality. China had its own civil war where horrific things like hundred of thousands of civilians were starved to death.

        As I already said. Disenfranchised westerners often latch onto China as some kind of alternative without doing any real research. I will say China has done well for itself economically. They deserve credit where credit is due.

        Having said that their government is authoritarian and saying the wrong thing will get you locked up for years and sometimes decades in prison.

        China abuses minorities and engages in imperialism. They sell weapons to conflict regions and project their power in the same way western countries do.

        You speak of propaganda and then say the US is about to be shattered by a civil war. Sounds like propaganda to me.
