    I see these in a lot of Chinese restaurants, nail salons, and my Asian market. This begs the question: are most of the Chinese immigrants who come to America to open businesses reactionary, or do they not know what this actually is? It seems surprising that they would have no idea especially since this season's posters actually say "China before Communism" on the top.

      i don't claim to have any insider information, but my guess would be the vast majority aren't dedicated communists (like, why would they be lol), and falun gong will pay to put up a lot of ads. don't think there's a deeper explanation.

      Yeah some are multigenerational who don't really know or care, and some are gusanos (e.g. "Mao took my grandpa's egg monopoly"). Weird how they never show the China before communism when warlords were ripping the country apart while Westerners were carried on palanquins by indentured servants and Japanese imperialists were bayonetting babies.
