China lockdown entire cities and closed its borders, but it didnt tell the west just how dangerous covid-19 really was, china bad

(in my country in the first 4 months of the pandemic they were saying masks arent needed too, only to say a few weeks ago that they always said that masks are necessary)

    Just heard an NPR interview on the radio today that was exactly this. Basically saying that Chinese culture is more collective, and that the communists were lucky they had such people to "rule over" or something like that.

      Yeah because it's much easier to exploit people who care about the future of their communities than it is to exploit people who will gladly allow the meadow on the other side of town to be bulldozed if it means they get a Red Mango closer to their house

      Our competition with one another for everything is the most obviously exploitable thing wtf
