    I would simply choose not be a pawn for a billionaire and a mouthpiece for the us state department. You act like this dude didn’t have a choice as to wether or not he could have gone to China lol

      I act like China's way to prove to doubting westerners that they're not the evil dictatorship western media depicts them as is not jailing random journos, even if they work for satan themselves.

        Who cares what doubting westerners think? China’s job isn’t to assuage your doubts chauvinist. They don’t even think about you.

        It’s their job to protect their national security and their revolution from imperialist meddling, and they are doing it. Sorry that makes you sad :(

          I mean you are the ones always saying criticizing China on the internet is bad because propaganda sites for some reason care about what leftists on the internet have to say about China.

          It doesn't make me sad at all it's just a ridiculous contradiction.

          Also "who cares what doubting westerners think" lol, this whole fucking thread is you caring about what doubting "westerners" think ffs.

        Western media will depict them as such, no matter what their position on arresting western propagandists is

          Yeah but it's different when they depict them as such citing shit they made up than when they actually do something that can be considered shitty by some.

            Fair but I think your point is moot; the media already has most westerners believing the organ harvesting story when it's based on the say so of christian fundamentalist adrian zenz and the homophobic falun gong cult rather than concrete evidence, so telling the difference between 'shit they made up' and 'when they actually do something' is impossible for most

            IMO at the end of the day all states are authoritarian, and all engage in reprehensible behaviors, however as a western leftist you have to decide if your energy is better spent combating the capitalist hegemony you inhabit, or in becoming a useful idiot for the elite and adding to their war drums against the only bulkward against neo-liberal world hegemony

                    The only people crying are you two. I'm perfectly content on my china shill website shilling for china. It's you that has a bug up your ass and bends over to appeal to neoliberals because you're a liberal cuck.
