They are much less likely to see the country as an enemy than their parents

    Propaganda works.

      Western propaganda clearly isn’t working on young people.

      What’s funny is I can’t tell if you’re talking about younger Americans refusing to hate China or older Americans chanting “China Bad!”

        Both tbh

        American failures are being used to prop up Chinese successes. This is particularly true in urbanism discussions. China is by no means perfect and thinking that they are is harmful to progress.

          Perfection doesn’t exist, but China is on the right track imo

            Sure, if you’re a fan of totalitarianism.

              Totalitarian here meaning: an enemy of the USA

              I’m a fan of their life expectancies surpassing the US - though that’s barely an accomplishment, every developed country seems to have beaten America in that regard lol

        Have we forgot about the fucking Uighur concentration camps? Suddenly there’s no waitlist for organs after these camps start going up? China bad.

        Edit: go educate yourself https://worldwithoutgenocide.org/genocides-and-conflicts/genocide-of-the-uyghurs-in-western-china/forced-organ-harvesting

          300,000 people are on the organ donor wait-list in China at this very moment.

          You’re a perfect example of the power of propaganda lol

              Uyghurs are “their own people” and the USA has far more of its citizens incarcerated than China does.

                  But it’s not a dictatorship where laws are optional for the government.

                  Neither is China. Also lol at saying laws aren’t optional for government in the USA.

                  Maybe freedom doesn’t mean anything to you when you’re not the one being reeducated though.

                  Again, the USA has vastly more people incarcerated than China.
