And then in another Lemmy thread right now, praise for the Chinese on their affordable EVs that will save the environment.
Depending on where you go, it’s either “this country is a fascist regime as reported by these hundreds of outlets worldwide and here’s the shady shit they’re doing”
Or
“This tragically misunderstood DEMOCRACY (they call their leader PRESIDENT not DICTATOR emoji spam) is leading the world in literally every metric, have made 10,000 breakthroughs in every science but THE WEST won’t let them share, here’s 3 state sponsored media outlets confirming what I just said gif spam”
Not a whole lot in between.
And any argument against China will be summarized “China bad” in bad faith argument so brazen that it’s almost impressive. For example, TikTok is blameless because if you oppose it, you’re just saying “China bad”. Fuck the Internet sometimes.
Fuck the internet sometimes indeed. https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IN/IN12131
