    So they actually tackle problematic issues instead of indiscriminate censorship, and that sounds like a worse alternative to you than “absolute freedom of speech in capitalist/Nazi-owned social networks”?

      They take on issues that are problematic for the party’s image, if they’re not problematic for the party they let it thrive. Outside that narrow window, china’s internet is even more of a Skinner box, addiction suck, dystopian corporate hellscape than the English speaking internet.

      Listen comrade, you know China isn’t some dreamland full of happy wealthy people, it’s got huge numbers of poor, starving people, young people stricken with cancer, disease, bulldozers, you name it. They’re ran by an uncaring party, who are turning the screws on the population who are rebelling and dying.

      I know you know. And now you know I know you know. Your little pink act is tired.

        Chinese support for their government is astronomically higher than in any western country

        You have been lied to.

          Yeah, by China, because they’re a totalitarian state that doesn’t allow their people to not like them.

          This isn’t rocket science. You just need to up your understanding level, comrade.

            doesn’t allow their people to not like them

            According to western surveys too? So, everything good about China is fake news, nice maga hat you’re wearing there! “Democracy perceptions is also Gynese propaganda!!!”

          Yea that tends to happen in places where you get disappeared if you actually share any discontent.

          Their grip is so embedded that they intimidate Chinese dispora in other countries, and on that basis, what would have to gain by being honest about what dislike about the government and have only hardship if you confront them.

            Every source of positive information about China can safely be disregarded by right wing nationalists like you as “fake news”, literal MAGA strategies
