    Chinese nationalism tends to go hand in hand with anti-imperialism and pro-socialism, and has ever since the Mao era.

      from my experience that is not quite accurate? a lot I've seen is hate towards figures that interact with or employ Taiwanese/Japanese ppl as well as jingoistic attitudes towards the surrounding areas

      pro/anti socialism is mostly absent from what I've seen, although I'm sure in the average citizen there prolly is more pro gov attitude while not being as remotly vitriolic towards percived others

          TBH, I'm a little annoyed we found a way to shit on China in this thread specifically, regardless of how true or false it is. Mocking a jingoistic reaction against China by... agreeing with it?

          Comparing Chinese patriotism and American patriotism is, IMO, mistaken. Regardless of what some Chinese people comment on YouTube. The two countries aren't even close, and equivocating over this as much as we are is giving this chud teacher way more credit than he deserves.

            yeah because everyone here knows America is the great satan, and that chuds are idiots, not much more room for convo besides maybe talking about the statement and what half-truths there maybe if it was coming from a leftist's mouth instead of a deranged teacher

              and obviously if this came from a leftists mouth it would be just as stupid, but there might be a somewhat coherent (wrong) argument for it by them

          Literally have not seen anyone here describe it as utopian or paradisiacal, when it comes down to it I don't know jack shit about China either but that doesn't mean we have to tolerate hypocritical history professors refusing to show their damn hog.

          Anyway socialism is an international project which means we give critical support at home, but if you're one of those people who thinks China's a capitalist country with a red paint job, at least realize that the U.S.'s national propaganda is creating a bigoted atmosphere that is hostile and dangerous to east Asian people here.
