Hahaha, yes I have. You came right out of the gate and called me a liar with zero evidence. That is uncivil. And here you are proving my point. Have the day you deserve

Wow, no one can have a well informed opinion that’s different than yours? Well fuck me

Idk, I’ve been much more civil than you. Probably has to do with the fact my views on china aren’t as rosy as the sinophiles here on lemmy. Usually goes something like this “Idk man, there’s a lot of merit to the claim that there’s aggressive censorship in China. I experienced it firsthand.” And the response will be something like “You’re a brainwashed western chauvinist.”

But I also get it from the other side. Like when it comes to healthcare in China. People call me a liar when I tell them it was fast, cheap, and good.

So I guess I’m a liar to both sides of the china brain rot.

Imagine someone having a different experience than you. The shock and horror.

You haven’t been the discourses I have. All my previous comment is based on firsthand experience right here on lemmy.

I lived in china for 4 years, got out of the expat bubble, lived in smaller cities and I gotta say, for people that have never been to china or actually been friends with Chinese people, y’all are pretty allergic to any criticism, no matter how legitimate, of china. Maybe take a step back from YOUR OWN biases and be a little objective. There are great things about china. There are bad things about china. No country’s perfect

Like, if he’d been the absolute picture of health for the whole time, yeah, okay, that’s achievable. But cancer TWICE!? Holy hell!

That went soooo well for Louisiana

It’s what Charlie would have wanted

Is there another meaning to bedtime other than the time you go to bed that I’m missing?

Because durian was forged in the bowels of hell. Makes perfect sense

14 year old me was an asshole, so I hope not

This made me laugh in the toilet only to hear my wife sigh and yell from the living “meme incoming”

Sorry man, Poland is taking the crown for that one.

China is bad, just not nearly as bad as the US anymore.

I’ve got a french press. Is it spying on me for china or France. At this point I don’t care which one.

I lived in china for 4 years and Winnie has Def never been outlawed. Chinese censorship is much more sophisticated than “hey, that’s illegal.” There’s not a list of pictures or memes or phrases that if you’re caught with you’ll get a visit from the police. No no no. There are hundreds of thousands of people monitoring social media for the latest “subversive” trends. When a new trend develops that content is blacklisted and just not allowed to be spread. You’ll send your friend a picture and it never shows up on their phone. There’s no indication on your end that it didn’t send or they didn’t get it. You can have this content on your phone, the CCP doesn’t care. They care about it spreading. And you’ll never get in trouble for trying to spread it because the system doesn’t allow it to spread.
