What's up with this straight up pro-china and pro-russia stuff on Lemmy lately?

It's not even praising the people of China and Russia, but rather their gov directly.

Obviously the states have problems, and the EU to a lesser degree, but they at least have some human rights.

Is this some kind of organized disinformation campaign?

As a Chinese person it's actually really refreshing to not be inundated with western propaganda. Here's some examples that come to mind:

The US quietly admitting the "Spy Balloon" did no spying several months and millions of dollars later.

People are actually moving into "ghost cities" as it pre-emptively neutralized a housing crisis before it began

China's social credit system is actually extremely benign and fragmented while aiming to target businesses and businessmen, tracking bankruptcies, scams and reneged deals and so on.

But you'll get people too propagandized to accept truth even if, for example, all the sources you provide are from reliable Western media
