    Funny how, when they disagree with you, Chinese people can’t be trusted because they’re all kept in the dark by their government, but when they (allegedly) agree with you, they can’t be questioned

      I live with someone who is Chinese currently. So my personal experience and opinions are constantly being validated and corrected in some cases.

      Frankly, I’m just not the person who can be assumed as an ignorant idiot on this topic. I lived there, I speak the language, I stay updated.

      Statistics are released by their government controlled media. It’s not all that funny. The US is waking up to realize their media is completely controlled as well. They just didn’t admit it as openly as China. But the independent journalist is now dead in America. Or buried by 30 million AI generated articles per day.

        “Independent journalist” is libspeak for “cia stenographer”

        , I’m just not the person who can be assumed as an ignorant idiot on this topic.

        Don’t worry, I didn’t need to assume it, you’ve demonstrated it.

        The US is waking up to realize their media is completely controlled as well.

        You say, believing everything they say about China
