    Both tbh

    American failures are being used to prop up Chinese successes. This is particularly true in urbanism discussions. China is by no means perfect and thinking that they are is harmful to progress.

        Sure, if you’re a fan of totalitarianism.

          I’m a fan of their life expectancies surpassing the US - though that’s barely an accomplishment, every developed country seems to have beaten America in that regard lol

              Its actually all sourced from one single guy who has stated it is his mission from God to bring down China.

              It’s common knowledge because propaganda is incredibly effective.

                  Adrian Zenz is the guy. You really should start looking into the sources for more articles you read about China (assuming you read past the headline in the first place). They pretty much all go back to him.

                  I’m sorry you think I’m a “CCP troll”. I’m not. But I don’t think I’ll convince you, so have a good day.

              I get paid 100000000 Xi bucks every time I remove a post. Obviously Lemmy is the most important social media platform in the world that China needs to control at all costs. The communists have even banned brainrot racism on this subreddit.

          That’s why it costs significantly less to import virtually everything from the opposite side of the planet.

          This is not true. It’s so cheap to get the goods here because Canada and USA subsidizes the freight services from taxpayer money.

          No no no, clearly you’re suffering under Western propaganda. In China there is zero crime and everyone gets a golden car on their 15th birthday. It’s true and If you disagree you’re a propaganda chicken. (/s)
