Imagine living somewhere like China and not liking it. It would be hellish, you couldn’t even talk about it without a police visit or your boss passing trouble along to you. A giant human spirit grinder

He didn’t even know there was a protest nearby until he was ‘visited’ all day by police and had to sing the praises of the ccp.

This is seriously not cool. If you keep ignoring the intended use of this site, we're not going to have any choice left but to ban you, much as I don't want to.

What compelled you to make such a wildly uninformed and bigoted comment?
People get the government they deserve. If Chinese society, in the 21 century, is still elevating monarchs to engage in genocide and totalitarianism, I’m not persuaded that it’s bigotry to conclude the society is not something to be admired. YMMV.

“as long as my shit city in germany is planning a 10km subway line for 15 years already … while china is builing the best infrastructure in the world, i will prefer the chinese system.” And people wonder how Hitler came to power in Germany.
edit
China is turning on more coal plants and sacrificing their lungs to build gadgets for the world.
It’s sad in a way.
Before you use this as an excuse to accuse the commenter you disagree with as being a Wumao, note that China's propaganda strategy serves to distract rather than directly engage, as they would rather minimize engagement. It's the same principle of "don't feed the trolls." Here's a Harvard paper that covers this topic more in depth, though it's about domestic propaganda: https://gking.harvard.edu/files/gking/files/50c…
- You cannot travel abroad (no passport for average citizens, except for those that study/work abroad)
- You cannot go beyond China's intranet
- You cannot transfer money out of country legally, pretty soon can't invest in other countries's stocks
- You cannot watch Spiderman, BTS, squid games, porn and many many more things legally
- You have very little rights as LGBT
- You have to work 9-9-6. Which is why many citizens are lying flat
- You are constantly watched, monitored, "invited" to police station for tea, banned for posts that contain any words that are on the growing banned list
- You should not get rich (1/3 of billionaires have died or disappeared)
- You have little recourse as a woman who is abused by men in power
- You are constantly subjugated to random mass testing
- Oh and there's the yearly flood + crashing economy + crashing real estate + aging workforce + factory jobs leaving + dictatorship
终究怀揣的不安，是愈来愈近的丧钟声
Doesn't the US broadcast regime change propaganda into the country via Radio Free Asia / Radio Free Liberty etc?
> Whataboutism or whataboutery (as in "what about…?") is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy, which attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving the argument https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism
Whataboutism is often used to generalize the subject, which isn’t a fallacy.

Don't be soft, the USA is way, way more complicated than simply "British roots". All that throwing off the shackles of imperial rule is sort of true but mostly bollocks (that's how you invite a major DV frenzy!) Presumably the portrait of George W that is on the note is from post revolution ie mid 1770s otherwise there is a depiction of a British citizen on rather a lot of greenbacks.
