This place really shilling for ccp? That disappointing

On the one hand, what did you think ml stood for?

On the other hand, this is more of an America bad than a CCP good post.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 minutes ago

Yeah, America isn't perfect, but that doesn't mean China is your friend.

Some of this shit is just true and really show how clueless some people are. China is not all bad.

But in some responses... The social credit had pilot cities. And people were banned for e.g. flying due to social misdeeds, while it seems to be unrelated to the social credit.

The reality that especially Americans will be de-brainwashed by, is that china is not a communistic state. That it isn't all bad. China is much more like america than both pro-china and pro-america people want to accept.

CCP bots going hard. Give me a positive spin on Uyghur concentration camps and forced organ harvesting will you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

to me, neither American nor Chinese, it's like "yeah China did Uyghur, US did Native Americans, China forced organ harvesting, US forced sterilization on people..."

Every country did atrocities and still does. Nationalism and patriotism of any country - including my own, is built on lies and obfuscation.

Social misdeeds also remove you from being able to fly in the US, maybe I'm missing something...

If I talk about the trail of tears, gaza or criticise Biden I will get put on the no fly list?

China propaganda machine goes brrrr

The way people really suddenly think oh yeah China is just a good country like a European democracy where you can live well is flabbergasting. Of course a dictatorship with massive censorship and suppression of minorities has mostly positive comments.

And of course, many people that aren’t part of a harassed minority or politically active against the rulers aren’t saying horrible stuff against them (which wouldn’t be seen anyway).

Ha ha don't anger the tankies!

Yeah this is so simplistic too, "cute asian girl" explaining the few better things in china lol.

All that exists in Europe, with democracy btw, where are the stories about that :-) oh yeah everyone already knows about the expensive healthcare in the US...

Some Americans believe we're screwed in Europe. I had a US boss trying to "save me" from the "socialist hellhole" that is Switzerland by trying to convince me to move to the US. Some believe Islam is going to sweep across Europe and turn us all into jihadists.

As a civ player, I know a cultural victory when I see one.

My people are now ~~listening to your pop music and wear your blue jeans~~ eating your noodles and use your social media apps.

Time can't eat away, nor can we be led astray, we'll still remember that day, from Beijing to Taipei..

Stop circlejerking the CCP assholes. While the US system is not great, it's better than one party totalitarian dictatorship.

You should join us to crush the boot, instead of licking it.

We are also controlled by 1 party with total dictatorial control, but in typical American extravagance, we have two of them; the party of capital, and the other party of capital.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Gotta love Americans talking about 1-party systems when they have a 2-party-that-are-the-same system.

Stop circlejerking the USA assholes. While the CCP system is not great, it's better than a duopoly totalitarian dictatorship.
