    You want to know who taught me about these things? My Chinese native guide that I traveled with to Tibet, Beijing, and all over rural / urban areas inbetween.

    But I guess this real person talking to you with actual experience will just disappear in your thoughts as a nothingburger.

    Fine. Tragic, but fine.

      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.

          , 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

            I was taught what I know about China by last generation Chinese people while living there. Again, your assumptions and trying to paint me with a broad brush simply don’t work. There are a lot of idiotic Americans on the left and right. I’m not one of them.

              Lol. Elsewhere you’re saying we can’t trust Chinese people because the government controls what they know.

              And you are platonic ideal of the idiotic American, who’s vindicated every assumption I’ve made about them

                I recommend you find some greater value with your time than these wasteful insults. It’s clear you’re only seeking dopamine from the fake rush you get criticizing strangers from the safety of your anonymity. There’s better things like sports or socializing you could be doing.

          “Independent journalist” is libspeak for “cia stenographer”
