    I was curious about whether or not China had light displays for Christmas. I looked up on YouTube. There were a few walk around videos showing off Christmas lights in Chinese cities. ~5,000 views. Between two of the results was a video titled something like China CANCELS Christmas with some kkkracka in a poor fitting suit sitting at his dining room table with an awful looking green screen behind him. 50,000 views and comments like "YES SIR THANK YOU FOR KEEPING US INFORMED SIR."

    EDIT: the cancel video has 635K views now agony-deep

      Entirely anecdotal but when I was staying in China for a while the supermarket near me went absolutely all out for christmas, no place where I live in NA does that anymore. So if anything China is apart of the vanguard defending christmas or something.

      Its ridiculous how much propaganda about China is obviously disproved from spending just a few hours there

      A bunch of those views are bots from the government to juce the algorithm. I am reasonably sure of this.
