    In primary school, we had to draw pictures for the olympics games in Beijing(, probably in 2001 when it was announced, i drew some kind of factory where they were produced from birth to become athletes since i already had pictures in mind of them mistreating children to produce champions), and i distinctly remember a teacher worried because some students were supposed to go to China ~next year for a trip(, i.i.r.c.), and she was (obviously? )convinced that such assignment endangered them, true story :/.

    And Europe is censoring the Internet(, hate speech or disinformation)(, regardless of platforms policy or even national choices). But do not worry, the Chinese People’s Republic(, who hasn’t bombed anyone in 40 years, something about a speck and a log,) will always need to be liberated as long as the t.v. says so. It’d have been so easy to demonize Taiwan or any other country.
    Still no sign of their social credit system b.t.w.
    Glad that they were authoritarian enough to have survived internal&external threats.

      Excuse you for not believing that this video showing a list of known criminals isn’t actually the lowest social credit scorers in town. We don’t check the facts when a video from china gets a scary music and english overlay or commentary in this part of the world, thank you very much.

      The peoples of the global north are little more than an audience at this point, especially when it comes to what’s going on where they aren’t. They sway like dead seaweed to whoever holds the best funded frequency. And on the rare occasion that they discover a contradiction inthe general narrative and their lived experience, they choose barbarism.
