Sorry if I was being super aggressive or anything, I just see a lot of people acting like bc dishonest western propaganda about socialist countries (and even just countries that oppose the US) exists that means they’re utopias and their government can do no wrong. It’s def more complex than hardliners on either side want to pretend it is. I wish I knew how to do more reliable research on anything around China, there’s good lessons to learn there, but it feels like there are almost no primary sources that aren’t CCP or western propaganda
