I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

      “the June 4th incident”

      I dont understand the scare quotes.

      can you elaborate on what they learn about it?

      My mandarin is bad but let me see if I can find a textbook again. If not, I’ll link an article on it, or ask a Chinese friend for help.

      In the meantime, please share what you think they should learn, to avoid you moving the goalposts and/or to see what misinfo you have learned about the event

        Nah I’m good. It is typical that you use the CIA playbook. Immediately cast doubt and make counter accusations. I guess I shouldn’t expect good faith.

        You asserted that Chinese people are taught about this without any proof.

        That which is asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof. In other words, put up or sit down.

        Also immediately implying that what people know that is not the official Chinese party line is misinfo seems to be straight from the Trump playbook.

        And finally you refer to “a chinese friend” as an authority, you pulled a hattrick of fallacious conversation in that post.

          Okay lmao, have a good day. To clarify though

          And finally you refer to “a chinese friend” as an authority,

          I was going to bother them for resources after doing my own due diligence as they know a lot about it and can find mandarin documents more easily than me.

          I did say this by saying “or ask a Chinese friend **for help. **” which you seemed to omit in your interpretation that I was going to use them as an authority.
