Somehow it’s a crime when Russia does it to us, but good 'information ops' when we want to discredit Beijing’s Belt & Road initiatives worldwide

    Shame we don’t have money for healthcare. This seems more important though.

      I wish my hospital bills used the same paper as their propaganda so i could stare lovingly at the work my freedom dollars were doing on my way to debtors prison

    Thank god they are spending 1.6 billion on this instead of building houses for the homeless. I was worried for a moment that I only dreamed that I existed in a Fascist hellscape.

        It's clear that the propaganda machine works wonders on westerners that are eager and salivating to consume anti-china propaganda.

        I don't think it will be anywhere near as effective abroad, especially outside of the "international community" international-community-1.

          My sister repeated the "gutter oil" racist bullshit the other day. I'm not surprised but it's like everyone is a fascist these days when it comes to China what-the-hell

            Yeah that's wild.

            I expect it to get worse too as it becomes increasingly undeniable that China has surpassed the US
