I am watching 30 years of propaganda melt away at first contact with actual Chinese folks.
Every comment section on RedNote are the Chinese users welcoming the Americans, "I'm so glad you're here! We can be friends now! We are not enemy!"

“The enemy dropped bacteria”: CIA Korean War Daily Reports Affirm Allegations of US Germ Warfare
CIA reports refute documents Cold War scholars claim show BW campaign was a “hoax”

The US gov't to get bought by the Tech Bros, activate the inherent American Pettiness Gene, and now... the ball is rolling.
"One Nation Under a Giant Foam Middle Finger" is a sentiment that seems very popular.)
Anytime someone brings up the Uyghur people or Tiananmen or anything, American's are just like, "Gestures broadly to Palestine/War On Terror/Patriot Act/Climate Change/Oligarchs/Gerontocracy"
So they're dismissing the governments, and talking to the people.
This is absoLUTELY going to have diplomatic ramifications.
Come on...
All US problems aside, a rotten core has existed over there for a very long time, and anyone with true connects, business, or travel there knows it.
Or have any single negative thing to say about China at all?
Really?
But it is a powerful statement to break free from the paralysis that comes with 'that side is x100 worse so I will stay %100 loyal to my side'.

Or if they care for non-whites that are a not "a titular nation"
Social media like 小红书 are LYING because people pretending. Ok, cheap goceries, yes, but most of you cant eat milk products here. Provided healthcare? Stop, it s too funny.
Again. I LIVED THERE. I AM FLUENT IN MANDARIN.
I LOVE IT 🤣❤️
Chinese Cooks of RedNote making “How to ‘Eating the Cats, They’re Eating the Dogs’” cooking videos, but they’re making lobster or duck. 💅
I do so hope that happens!!!
Now they'll be maoists.
Do we not remember the ISIS dudes doing the same thing?
You think China has real people doing such a thing?
Allowing full access to Chinease and Americans to communicate? 😂
You dumbass.
The last communist in China died in a camp in 1953.
Maoism is a Han-nationalism+corporatism.
It's soft Franco fascism.
Considering American youth is growing fascist anyways, may as well be Han variety
That makes no sense.
China is a capitalist country now and its capitalist class will resist any efforts to change that as vociferously as anywhere else.
Now try the Taiwan thing. Or ask about Tiananmen Square.
lots of sons who will never get hugged by their dads over on x formerly known as twitter dot com
I agree with the abolition of the electoral college, but it really doesn't feel like a popular position here.
Literally invited 🇺🇸 to offer their data directly to China.
This is why no one over 70 should be in any government position.
Those lovely people on the Chinese social app aren't free to talk like Americans are and could get themselves and their families in serious trouble if they did.
Ask Americans why they can’t access TikTok. Why they aren’t taught about Tulsa, and why 40% of the incarcerated population in USA is black, and is being used for slave labour thanks to the 13th amendment.
Your dishonesty would be hilarious if not pathetic. Yes, China's the one pushing propaganda. What it has done in relation to 六四 memorials in Hong Kong should tell you everyhing
Just because information is available doesn't mean indoctrination and propaganda aren't happening here.
Freedom of speech/free press? Doesn’t make a difference if the truth is buried in a mountain of shit.
Censorship doesn’t have to be total to be effective. That was all I was trying to say.
Oh, and hacking up a lung between exposure to that and all the indoor smokers.
I've seen LA when it was like that every day. How about you?
As you were saying...
BTW - where do I find the Uyghur Muslim community in Res Book? Looking forward to their joyful comments.

My point was solely about your faith in our freedom of expression - it's never been weaker than right now. And of governmental threats to U.S. citizens, I believe that the much more imminent and malicious threat is right here at home.
But I'm fascinated by GenZ/A's deep distrust and loathing of co-opted U.S. media and social networks. It's too early to see if this will be a significant or lasting trend, but it could be, and that's notable.
Let people enjoy the damn cats.

That’s a pun of the n-word.
The reason everything looks so rosy is because all you Westerners don’t speak Chinese
洋人别乱讲话
“Omg Chinese ppl are nice just like us”, yeah wdy think?
But if you don't want to go on there, here's an article that talks about this sort of thing. This article touch on another racist term to refer to Black people, "零元购"

We certainly don’t eat crabs and lobsters for Sunday lunch FFS
作为一个30岁的中国人我认为你说的不公平。
中国人欢迎你不等于关于中国的政治描述是错误的，按你们的标准，那儿有14亿网络难民。
希望你像使用TikTok一样使用小红书一段时候后再次发表感想。
当然，祝你玩得愉快。
People forget that.
Or maybe some people just don't get around....much....or at all.
When I visit France, everyone speaks 3-4 different languages. Any group of people then have a common language. They talk to each other. A good thing for humanity. Will Trump end this? N. Korea style?
“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, EXCEPT as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
Democrats have been fighting for healthcare for years
Lied to about soo many things. It’s a shame and not sure it can be changed for a while. If I don’t move as soon as possible, I’ll die here old and broken.
There would be no Walmart without them
An Americans love their Walmart
I think these deluded people have no idea how far the reach of government is into the lives of these people
The day-to-day life and even the worst run countries is pretty normal
I'm not arguing China's doing it right. I am pointing out that America of doing is wrong. The difference? CCP owns the narrative there and oligarchs/corps own it here.
So I guess tonality aside which does come off as harsh (sorry). How would you suggest we handle that?
We can say the same thing about the United States, right now, today.
Social media is shrinking brains
A great first step to stopping the oligarchs in both countries is for people to see that the other are not a downtrodden, soulless "enemy" and we shouldn't believe the propaganda we're told about them.
If people don't realize that... Idk. I think it's on them for not reading international news. Not propaganda.
China's dictatorial. But Americans are commodities.
PRC is another authoritarian government like just the USA ultimately is, democratic veneer aside, and its human rights policies will cyclically progress.
1. None of those russian persons you've encountered lives in russia.
2. You don't speak russian so you cannot read russian social media.
Am I right?
2. Yes & no. I'm learning, but I'm still just at, like, meme level understanding.
That's why I asked. I recognized a blind spot in my understanding.
Opinions presented there are mainstream in russia.
PD: please, it's not America. It's the US.
I have family in many (including China). You can tell just by visiting which places have more suffering. The US has a lot of it right now.
But! the American government also does that.
Living in the US now, I kind of see the point in the original posts here, but it's less "China sucks less" and more "folks are folks everywhere".
In Spain, universal health care is becoming more and more like in the US 😔
what do u think they r wildly under emphasizing?
genuinely trying to understand what you think op is under emphasizing.
(you said “they are under emphasizing,” i assume you meant op, or that’s how i read your initial reply.)
Sounds special, right?

Oh, right, it's obviously way too tricky for China, or Chinese people, to propagandize to counter-act propaganda.
Ohhh, I know that 20% of what XYZ says is bullshit, let's switch to ABC, because they oppose XYZ. Who cares that ABC is twice as bad.
