It’s been nice to see ordinary Americans open up to life in China but everyone is acting blind to their censorship. Makes me thankful for the fediverse and being able to self host my own instance.

I don’t know what you mean by all bad. How’re you labeling all three of those countries?

Do you have your head under a rock? Over the past few years China has been putting the Uighur people in concentration camps while Russia has been invading and genociding Ukrainians.

The westerner that has never been to China and doesn't speak a word of mandarin is gonna lecture us on China.

No, China hasn't. There has been no evidence.

We know how much information should get out of a state with complete control over the flow of information, via Palestine and Ukraine's respective genocides. Instead of any of that, we have vague, contradictory accusations from Islamic extremists. The uighur people control Xinjiang, and thanks to investment it's flourishing.

China killed Islamic extremism via education and improving material conditions; that's not acceptable to the West, so they made up a story.

No, because I don’t fall for the propaganda. I’ve met one of the NYT reporters on that and their sources were three Ugyhurs and trust me. I’m guessing you don’t speak Chinese and have zero knowledge of it besides MSN?

His trusted source is a German man that doesn't speak chinese, has never been to china and uses satellital pictures of buildings in construction as proof, like it is eyeopening how much media buzz someone as unserious as Adrian Zenz has only because he preached the "china bad" narrative.
