Comment

You say know what it is, and yet your original comment shows you don’t. You clearly never questioned if the information you were receiving about China was perhaps filtered to give an impression of weakness, cruelty, and disregard for human life - all things we’re naturally biased to think about ‘the other’.

the information you were receiving

same goes to you lmfao

hundreds of millions that China has lifted out of extreme poverty

I can also lift millions of people out of poverty by lowering the poverty line. 🤡

you do hear, get video clips, and see constant reposts when an escalator has a catastrophic failure a decade ago.

nah, my info’s pretty fresh. I’ve never seen western countries detain people randomly and then condem them to death tho.

  They are literally rounding people up with tattoos and sending them to work camps in El Salvador, so you’re not exactly up to date.
  
  I’m not even a big China fan, I just recognized the bias in what you were saying. You’re assumptions about China are like my dad thinking there’s a good chance he’ll win the lottery because every day he hears about a lottery winner. If the media that reported on every lottery winner had to also spend equal time reporting in every lottery loser, that would disabuse everyone of that notion.
  
  You’re upset not because I accused you of something that is false, but that you know I’m right and that’s embarrassing for you.

    I’m not embarrased of being wrong lmao, but you’re right about America doing that shit. That place is a lost cause ngl. I was thinking more about europe.
    
    And I don’t know about my bias, but i’ve seen a lot of things and know a lot of history.
