Liberals unironically will and do believe this is bad because obviously those schools will teach CPC propaganda about how the school was build by the CPC after the US blew up all the other schools.

maybe you could get the libs to build schools, too. let the free marketplace of schools sort it out. school cold war. every child a school

I laughed reading this because it reminded me about how bad the US was at building anything in Iraq and Afghanistan. At one point US contractors charged almost 50 million dollars to build a single gas station and it never actually got completed. To be fair, US contractors are just as bad when hired to build infrastructure in the US.

I remember some german army fat cat going "Our job is to destroy things and kill people" when they asked him as to why they failed so hard in afghanistan and he got ousted for that shit and it was whole big controversy

I genuinely could never shake the feeling they fired the one guy who was aware of what their actual job was

propaganda is when you recite a sequence of events that actually happened

In promoting mutually beneficial cooperation, we should raise awareness about human beings sharing a community of common destiny. A country should accommodate the legitimate concerns of others when pursuing its own interests; and it should promote common development of all countries when advancing its own development. Countries should establish a new type of global development partnership that is more equitable and balanced, stick together in times of difficulty, both share rights and shoulder obligations, and boost the common interests of mankind.

is-this insidious CEE CEE PEE propaganda?
