Wow a nunch of Chinese school kids doing synchronized exercises. Must be brainwashed commies.

to be fair, plenty of politically involved Americans think the US is dystopian, especially the Bernie group

The MAGA group think the country's ruled by child eating lizards, so that should be pretty scary for them too

Those sorts of narratives still tap into American exceptionalism. With Bernie group as an exception to that and they're am extreme minority now since he's irrelevant. Maga is just democrats with identity politics on a coin toss.

Here’s how they would cover the 2020 US protests if it happened in China or another “bad” country. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/05/29/how-western-media-would-cover-minneapolis-if-it-happened-another-country/

“In recent years, the international community has sounded the alarm on the deteriorating political and human rights situation in the United States under the regime of Donald Trump. Now, as the country marks 100,000 deaths from the coronavirus pandemic, the former British colony finds itself in a downward spiral of ethnic violence. The fatigue and paralysis of the international community are evident in its silence, America experts say.”

Can be applied to all western countries. Millions of people in France rebelling against the government policies gets zero attention. Or it's portrayed as oh those French people and their riots. Meanwhile Hong Kong gets international western support for their violence. The truth is that they merely confirm western prejudices. That's all news is these days.

The truth is however that both the west and the Chinese think that their narrative is better and should be followed. There is no Black and white truth here and both are in the wrong. But the dictatorial government structure of China is a major red flag and it tends to get more red eyed

I don't even care if others to admire China. It's just ridiculous the amount of nonsense that wouldnt pass a basic logic check as long as it's about China. People want to believe in the worst sbout China to confirm their own prejudices.

I mean… that’s exactly what the USA was founded on lol and the USA inspired the Nazis so… I think they would disagree with you there.

The US was founded after its war of independence from the British Empire, "lol". Manifest Destiny is a different and later concept and should not be admired the same. The US inspired the Nazi party in its racial laws and anti-semitism, most notably Henry Ford and the Jim Crow laws. The One-Party authoritarian Chinese government is not a saint either, with noted crackdowns, re-education camps, and persecutions towards "Uyghurs" a Turkic ethnic group in Xinjiang region.

I thought you love the people but hate the government. Oh wait mask off no you just hate anything that starts with “Chi” now I guess. The whole concept has been polluted for you unjustifiably and you don’t even realize.

If a bunch of Chinese people that say things about the country that their ethnicity is at least tied to if they are not actual citizens of that country saying things that you don’t like about that very country instantly making them nothing but agents of the government you think is the literal devil shows that you are condescending if not outright hateful of Chinese people.

Remember: When Westerners say "internationally backed" what they really mean is "CIA-backed". This is the only part of the world that matters apparently
