I keep on getting deflected off to like the western news sites for information about China and then it’s just the news site demonizing the country. I was just wondering coming from like a Marxist point of viewpoint figuring probably this would be the best place to look for some thing even probably neutral about China. Does anyone have good information about how the government is run along with accurate numbers of the death in the great leap forward that isn’t some kind of “100 million deaths under communism “type argument, or even like claim also, it would be also good to list if you’re interested in helping me sites about what was achieved in the great leap forward and in the rapid industrialization also consequences of that primarily anything environmental if there’s anything about the consequences also some decent information about censorship and what exactly is Chinese censorship? What is it look like and is it really that hard big or even what exactly is it censoring I don’t know too much about it and I would like to

    It’s difficult, most of what you read in western media is misleading or outright bollocks. Anything that doesn’t follow the approved narrative is buried, ignored or branded fake news.

    The problem is that just three global news agencies are responsible for the overwhelming majority of global news. Two of them AP and Reuters are American the other, AFP is owned by the French government. Between them these three decide what you see or don’t see.

    This applies to everywhere the US/Nato doesn’t like, not just China
