Oh, messing with the China propagandist who just posted a statistic saying that China surpassed the US in life expectancy.

They always post these weird china-glorifying not-world-news bits in this world news community, so I make verifiable counter-posts.

It's a hobby

Ah, makes sense now lol

They're hardly a propagandist. They've made plenty of posts which paint China in a less than flattering light.

Also, super rude and offers zero supporting evidence for their headlines when called out.

I haven't seen any of those. Many of their posts are about a less-than-newsworthy milestone, demonstrably false and posted with heavily biased titles to exaggerate or fabricate "achievements" of China.

Turns out, you were the propagandist all along.

Just because you have a frothing hatred of China doesn't mean everyone does. It seems totally reasonable to compare the US (the world superpower) to the up and coming main competitor.
