i have it on good authority from about half of lemmy that china is a wonderful place where everyone feels safe and actually there never were any uyghurs, since that's just western propaganda
itt: people confirming the premise. ni hao baybeeee
After living and working in the US and now living and working in China (no not a teacher), I can say my life is definitely better in China than it was in the US. And no I'm not a bot or paid CCP stooge. Just a normal person lucky enough to have worked and lived in many places around the world.
There are too many things to mention why China is better besides the obvious like healthcare, social security, infrastructure, green energy, technology, cost of living.
I still don't understand why western media portray China as a communist hell hole, worse than North Korea. Clearly no one bothers to really understand how China works.
And in regards to safety, yes it's one of the safest countries in the world. Actually when you ask Chinese what is good about China, safety is one the core answers. No school shootings, no need for metal detectors at schools. I can leave my electric scooter unlocked with my phone on it, come back an hour later and everything is still there. If I tried that in my birth country, it would be gone by the time I turned around.
Thailand for example is much stricter and run by a military government. When I worked there, one morning we had tanks rolling down the street when the military overthrown the government. And don't say anything about the playboy king or his family.
Anyway, I'll get downvoted but if you are from any of the 62 visa free countries that can visit China, obviously not the US, I recommend you visit and have your eyes and awareness opened. Or just stay in your 'China bad' bubble.
China is a decent place to live, but just as capitalist as anywhere else, and is authoritian (again, like many other places, the US included in that to a decent extent).
And no doubt I'd prefer living there over the US. You couldn't pay me to visit the US.
What drives me crazy though, is MLs and the Chinese state, claiming that they're socialist.
I hecking wish they were... :(
ctrl-f uyghur
it’s so easy!
Ctrl-f western propaganda.
Keep your brain washed!
Xinjiang is open for tourism, you can literally just visit and ask them yourself dumbass
Being banned from .lm is a badge of honor.
Here is your Lemmy ban medal;
Aw Fuck yah, a chucky cheese token
Also North Korea is what all countries should strive to emulate.
No, seriously, I've seen a tankie on here say that.
Wdym? Haven't you seen the citizens of the democratic people's republic of Korea cheer and cry when they see their beloved leader Kim Jong Un?
Also, did you know that countless people defect from South Korea to the democratic people's republic of Korea???
/s
The second point is legitimately what someone told me on lemmygrad. No, they explicitly said "today". They were not just talking about the 50s-60s.
I wonder how many of them think they ally live like a North Korean peasant?
Also, any source that disagrees with you, biased sources like Wikipedia, are just Fake News!
Western media is verifiably corrupt, they're right
Or so says the propaganda machine of China.
Lol no dumbass, verifiable facts. Our media has been untrustworthy for longer than either of us has been alive, the only people claiming otherwise are incurable morons or lying.
Which facts are verifiable and which are fake, how do you tell the difference?
In this case specifically, by living through Iraq+Afghanistan and not being completely braindead.
Coulda fooled me.
Low bar lol
What do you do for work?
Your mother
Idk what's worse, you being a necrophile or someone paying you for the act.
Lol dead mom
First funny thing you've ever said. Congrats comrade, especially considering you don't seem to understand humor or context.
Cope
More like dope, which is you 😉
Weak, try harder
Weak, try harder
But you're the principal
Try harder
The way you sleep?
This is exactly what it's like
That tracks
I've heard that too
Why people like china? They are trying to solve global warming problem. They are bringing innovations at scale and low cost. Their state is battling some capitalism schemes, like price inflation of goods and housing. Their billionares are little bitches of the party. Not the other way around. People there generally feel safe, better salaries compared to its neighbours, better medicine etc.
If usa or europe or russia rules the world, humanity is fuked. If china rules then everything will be fine.
[CITATION NEEDED.]
You know other, better countrys exist outside of these 2, right?
i guess uyghurs aren't human.
that tracks with chinese policy.
out of curiousity, how much do you get paid to post on lemmy? is it a decent gig?
How paranoid do you need to be to think anyone is paying to propagandize to a small collection of grumpy middle aged autists, tech geeks, and trekkies?
Like maybe you think someone's understanding of the world is downstream of that propaganda from elsewhere, but do you really think we have anyone actually getting paid by China or the CIA on this deserted island of the internet?
must be morning in china
I mean, we all know you're making more at Langley, but at what cost?
Oh, right, your soul.
