We can all agree on that, right?

If that's how you choose to read into my comment, there's no helping you.
Why would you even assume I'm white? Do you think I just moved to China on a whim? All Chinese people have to be born in China and nowhere else?
Fuck this.
There is no other way to read your comment. You're claiming that you understand China better than people who actually live there while claiming they lack "critical thinking skills" that evidently you believe yourself to possess. If you can't understand how unhinged that sounds what else is there to tell you.
Why would I assume that you're white? Because that's the typical narrative white American and European racists use, and if you're not white and you've internalized this narrative then there is truly no helping you.
Fuck this indeed.
I love all of the irony: Person 1: Americans don't question nor understand their system Person 2: Chinese don't question nor understand their system Person 1: WTF? Why you so racist?
Americans don't understand their system, but it's pretty clear that they do question it given the political tension, and increasing amounts of riots that we currently see in US. These are the direct result of people being discontent with the direction their lives are taking under the US capitalist system. No amount of propaganda can trick people into thinking the system works for them when they see their lives suck.
On the other hand, vast majority of people in China support their government because they've seen their lives improve dramatically with each and every decade. That's the tangible material difference between the two systems.
