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?

    My favorite trick is they’ll act like the Chinese government is censoring movies when what’s actually happened is that they’ve identified a single party member who works at a private company and that company has censored a movie, not for the sake of pleasing a bureaucratic agency, but because their niche in the market is catering to conservative moviegoers. It’s like acting like 90% of the US population watches PureFlix
