You clearly have never seen the direct and lengthy criticisms of China produced on lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml. We debate over this all the time.
Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this

A lot of nonsense apologia in these comments. Motivated reasoning and carefully cherry-picked sources. A fixation on the long history of western imperialist propaganda. Edgy contrarianism, ultimately.
What you won’t see much of:
Direct and lengthy criticism of China (the kind that isn’t just damage control)
Citations from respectable research journals
Teens and Chinese agents, it is late, go to bed, you’ve got TikTok tomorrow.

Lol you’ll find much more meaningful criticism that isn’t just jerking off over an imaginary cartoonishly-evil-for-the-sake-of-being-evil version of China that exists in lib spaces.

Liberals are too embarrassed to admit a dictatorship has done a better job serving it’s people than a corporate owned “democracy”.

When Liberals say dictator, they mean 1 dude who can unilaterally decide policy for the entire country. None of the executives of any communist country have that power.

I don’t think liberals even know what they’re talking about anymore. They still call themselves “left” while supporting blocking the rail strike in 2022 and Biden going around congress twice to ship weapons to be used in a genocide. They’ve completely lost the plot.

You know they welded doors to people’s apartments during covid right? What kind of non dictatorial move is that? Or like crushing the people who wanted to be free from china’s rule in hongkong
