      Imagine living in borderline fascist countries and believing that the fascist-free Chinese model is worse by any metric.

        I assure you, the Chinese internet is not a picknick, it’s got plenty of its own wackos and weird shit going on. But the party is very quick to shut down stuff that it sees as a potential image problem, but they won’t do shit about a problem until it becomes a significant embracement.

          So they actually tackle problematic issues instead of indiscriminate censorship, and that sounds like a worse alternative to you than “absolute freedom of speech in capitalist/Nazi-owned social networks”?

            Listen comrade, you know China isn’t some dreamland full of happy wealthy people, it’s got huge numbers of poor, starving people, young people stricken with cancer, disease, bulldozers, you name it. They’re ran by an uncaring party, who are turning the screws on the population who are rebelling and dying.

            I know you know. And now you know I know you know. Your little pink act is tired.

              Chinese support for their government is astronomically higher than in any western country

              You have been lied to.

                Yeah, by China, because they’re a totalitarian state that doesn’t allow their people to not like them.

                This isn’t rocket science. You just need to up your understanding level, comrade.

                  doesn’t allow their people to not like them

                  According to western surveys too? So, everything good about China is fake news, nice maga hat you’re wearing there! “Democracy perceptions is also Gynese propaganda!!!”
