    Some Chinese company decided to sponsor the local pro basketball team here and instead of thinking: 'good for the team', the media is al like: 'SHOULD WE BE CAREFUL FOR CHINESE SPYING?'. Like, surely it is the utmost importance for China to be able to spy on a mediocre basketball team in a country that doesn't like basketball.

        Their textbooks are also full of red scare propaganda. From the moment they are born they are bombed with red scare propaganda, its fairly hard to get out of that indoctrination.

        An absolute fuck ton of it disguised as something new (by changing a couple words) from the moment you're born until something pulls you out of the circle of influence.

      I think it would be hilarious for Chinese companies to just start sponsoring tons of sports teams in the US, no strings attached, just money. And watch the American people implode with paranoia of their own making.
