A few people online think everything bad that has happened in China is fake news by america or smth and that mao zendong was a kind hearted progressive leader that was incredible, when you bring up he let millions starve they just say “atleast he wasnt hitler” am I missing something, am I stupid and retarded snd know nothing abt history and China. I have a friend who lives in China and He views China in a really positive light and fully trusts his government even tho he needs a vpn to talk to me and is genuinely scared of me using his friends qq account to criticise the Chinese government bc hed get arrested. Ofc theres alot good about China and id love to go there someday im just a bit confused why ppl in the west think its some utopia free from capitalism, racism and has lgbt rights or wtv
it’s very easy to be supportive of the government and not mind repression of civil rights in china if you’re not part of the religious or ethnic minorities being oppressed there. i don’t think any country is perfect (obviously even the US does this too) but trying to gloss over that fact that “western” “liberal” civil liberties isn’t important sort of ignores all the people it genuinely hurts.
Let those without sin cast the first stone. It’s a bit absurd to fear monger about China with what’s going on in the US (and Europe, at the behest of the US Department of State).
