I hope some day you grow up & realize applying critical thinking unevenly makes you come across as an asshole. Believing you have authentic insights into the everyday lives of Chinese people based on what they're allowed to express on their very tightly censored version of social media is insane. - ThreadSky

Thank you. This thread nearly broke me.

Set aside that concern and be open to the fact that fellow people are glad to make contact.

Have fun in your bubble.

If I were an "co creator & editor" of an ostensibly intellectual magazine I would avoid publicly posting like a teenager throwing a fit. 🤷
What's even richer is that you're the one *willingly* opting into a bubble here, & one infamous for its tightly controlled speech run by a genocidal autocracy.

Censorship does exist, however, it's not all there is, just like politics can't encompass everything, there are many more interesting things in life and they can even come to counter bad politics.

This should be the largest direct contact in history between the American people and the Chinese people, as they begin to learn about each other's daily lives.

Oooorrrrrrr maybe they are just people just like us and our government had a vested interest in anti-communist propaganda since the 40s? And really if you tuink America is so hot, you may e should look at your susceptibility to propaganda.

Yeah, it's more likely those Chinese users are well-off and can afford all those lobsters and living in better conditions and stuff.
