The same applies to you? Why do you have faith in chinese affiliated media, who has a vested interest in usurping US footholds and making deals with chinese markets?
Why do you think I primarily rely on Chinese media? I primarily rely on looking at US media through a critical lense oriented around Marxism and anti-colonial theory. I also talk to Chinese exchange students about their experiences in China.
Dont act like china doesnt have a history of repression like every other major world power. China isnt special, or new.
I’m not arguing that, but that is not an equivalent claim to the claim you are making. You are making much worse claims.
They arent your friend, theyre the next US.
Nah this is just enlightened centrism. China is of course a state and states do repression but they are significantly less economically exploitative than the US. They are also exceeding their climate goals while the US lags behind.
They dont care that some historians say it doesnt work, the same argument applies to the japanese concentration camps in the US during WW2.
They aren’t doing concentration camps though, because if they were, we would see violent resistance increasing. This has always historically been the case. You must learn from history or you’ll believe anything.
Its embarassing to watch you, in the same paragraph, try and mock trusting 1 faceless monoliths propaganda while unquestionably parroting anothers.
I’m not parroting their propaganda. Their propaganda paints a much rosier picture about it. Things are not great but the way they have dealt with extremism has respected their culture, even though there are cases of nonsystemic abuse and their methods toe the line on what we would consider acceptable standards of evidence. (Although detaining someone in school is different than detaining someone in a labor camp like the US does to its prisoners, and the standard of evidence that the US uses also often falls behind our acceptable standard of evidence)

Tell me you address and I will make you think otherwise or send you to the mental hospital…
“Governments arent your friend, and china trying to replace the US doesnt make them better than the US.”
“EnLiGtEnEd CeNtRiSm!!1!”
