          From what I’ve heard, China tends to embrace the mistakes of the past and uses that as guidance for present decisions.

          I’m not here to like boot lick for them or anything, but like, be accurate.

                  It’s because you’re spreading false information. Like I said I am no fan of China but you shouldn’t be spreading obvious lies. American propaganda is just as bad as anything.

                    What specifically is false that I’ve said.

                    Ed: to be clear I said China is not unique in it, crying “but America!” Isn’t the point you think it is.

              The Chinese government denies none of it—aside from Western disinformation about it—nor is it kept secret from the Chinese people.

                Thank you for clearing up the truth! Fighting propaganda is important praxis.

                Notice how not one of those is from a Chinese source and specifically not hosted in China.

                There are many lies about it for sure, that said China 100% does deny very obvious parts of it. Until like 2004 were they saying the bike cleanup photos were fake, now they say they aren’t.
