Hey y'all it doesn't matter if you lift billions of people out of poverty and they never have to worry about certain material conditions and therefore improve their quality of life, what makes a society better is being able to "view information contrary to the state".
"Man, this high housing ownership rate, access to food and education sucks, what our society really needs is the ability to be screamed at by white supremacists on Twitter."
"This society is great. I'm glad every source is monitored by the Chinese government, that's how you know they're factual."
Who the fuck gives a shit if they're feeding their people and improving their quality of life? If billions of people support their government because they know they have the people's interest at heart.
You seem to believe China is inherently lying about everything it does and says but can't possibly think of any reason why (spoiler, it's racism). You believe what the West says about China, which is why you believe in the Uyghur "genocide".
Drop the Zedong quote. Do you think that because the Chinese government is claiming to be socialist, that banning all other counties' resources is justified. how can the citizens not support their government when they're only allowed to know things that support the government? Also I'm racist because I don't support a government? I don't like the Russian government either but that doesn't make me racist towards Russians.
You're a racist because you can't possibly think that well over a billion Chinese people would support their government for doing exactly what I mentioned before, and your only fucking problem is "they ban other countries resources", without even bother to think about why.
Of course you don't like Russia, the government told you not to.
The funniest part is that this is all projection, lmao. Just look at what the West does to people who support Palestine. Censorship, media control, all the same things you allege China is doing is what the US is doing right now but somehow you believe what the US says about the countries they hate the most.
So you're saying you wouldn't have come to the conclusion Trump is a fascist if someone didn't tell you that he was? Like you wouldn't have found out about it yourself?
This but unironically
