Agreed, the US prison system is legalized form of slavery

Your response is very telling.

Considering the uncertainty surrounding COVID at the time, China's approach while heavy handed, prioritized people's lives instead of continuing capitalist exploitation like they did in the west. The infection rates and death toll speak for themselves. Once it was clear that the worst waves were over, and the popular sentiment was to loosen up restrictions the Chinese government reacted. The largest protest numbers I saw a in the lower hundreds of thousands across multiple provinces, which also considering Chinas size (more than hundred cities are 1M+ population with a total of 1.4B people) is indeed minor.

Also nice free speech you got over here where vaccine "sceptics" got to spew their nonsense all over the place and you have disease's coming back that where considered to be eradicated. GTFO shitlib

This stuff applies always. It’s called critical thinking skills and it absolutely applies when someone is speaking “for the western narrative” too

A Chinese source claiming Chinese are happy with their gvmnt doesn't hold as much materiality as a western source claiming that Chinese are happy with their government. (And vice versa) Do you even know what bias is? So much for cirtical thinking on your part

Look I know it’s easy to think that there’s a singular big bad out there. That there’s just this one entity called “the west” and you’ll be able to fight and conquer it. It’s easier to believe things are black and white, that certain countries are innately good and others innately bad at all times. But that’s not reality.

And you talk about strawman GTFO shitlib

First, ethos is bullshit man, don’t idolize people or institutions to the point you think they’re infallible.

Funny how stuff like this only applies when it's against the western narrative

The researchers question the validity of their results because they are abnormally high a

The western brainpan cannot comprehend a genuinely popular government

I have! And I have my Chinese friends feed too. Inside and outside of china. There's definitely differences, but that's how algorithms work

Have you seen the coordinated response to genuine spreading political disconten

Yes i have seen it. They solve things pretty fast e.g. COVID lockdowns when minor protests broke out, petit bourgeois real estate protests, etc. doesn't look like you pay attention to things like that

i don't trust Harvard as a source
