Okay, so background: I'm your average pro-gun fuck-the-police, fuck-trump zoomer honed by years of unsupervised internet access and I've just discovered this community and started lurking for a while. But I still hold extremely negative views on China, which I still think are justified.

"Which views?" I'll throw them out real quick: child labor! internet censorship! media censorship! anti-LGBTQ! uygher genocide? positive and pro war relations with russia! (because fuck putin)

So I get really confused anytime I see people expressing pro-China sentiments. Have I been spoonfed by the media or are some of these points actually justified?

        That was a lot to take in. That's crazy how every bad Western government decision loops back to communism or racism

        NATO wasn’t overly anti communist until the USSR sent an application knowing they’ll be denied.

        Also, Russia after 1991 wanted to join NATO and even did a few exercises with them. But the US didn’t trust them and so made it an eternal enemy.
