      I know there’s a lot of great things that China is able to do under their regime. Like building mass transit incredibly fast. But this comes at a great price though in terms of rights and freedoms.

        So our masters keep saying.

        But actual Chinese people don’t seem too worried.

        The Chinese government gets approval ratings (according to Western pollsters) that western governments can only dream of, and it’s not that mysterious when you consider, the standard of living for most if not all regular people there has been skyrocketing.

        Remember that China is the greatest threat to American hegemony and all the powerful people aligned with it. Do you really expect corporate-owned media to give you accurate, unbiased information on such an adversary?

          I don’t expect China nor the Chinese people to tell the truth either. You wouldn’t want your social score to drop or end up in jail or forced labor.
