    Americans watch 900 sponsorship ad reels about using ExpressVPN to watch Netflix shows that are exclusive to other regions and get confused when Chinese people also do similar things.

    The Chinese may be restricted by default from browsing the western web, but westerners can freely browse the Chinese web with no special procedures. They could easily explore and understand what Chinese people do, especially with webpage translation features. But instead they opt for laziness and rely on telephone stories about China. This alone makes the US worse, just like everything else they boast about; they claim that Chinese are repressed and brainwashed and powerless, yet Americans do nothing with their democracy to punish traitors and billionaire abusers.

    Americans, in their own words, CHOOSE to be stepped on and ignorant.

      In the early 2000s I wandered into a random Chinese forum, I think it was called Kingjoke or something along those lines. I couldn't understand a word, but the vibes were truly immaculate.
