      If the Chinese people agree with you, they’re being honest. If the Chinese people disagree with you, they actually secretly agree with you but are too scared to say it.

      Bro this is just political Niceguyism. “No dude she totally likes me and hates her boyfriend of 5 years, she’s just too afraid of him to show it. He’s probably abusive.”

      No? Harvard studied this, it’s because the government consistently delivers on its ambitious promises in uplifting the lives of working people.

        You ever see those workplace review things where it turns out almost everyone at the company is super thrilled with management and wouldn’t change a thing?

        Or is it only you that can engage in whataboutism?

        The pictures still show two shitty controlling governments bringing the boot down on the throats of their citizens who dare to get in their way or stand up for their “rights”

          You have a hypothesis with no backing. Back up your hypothesis, or accept that the citizenry of China support it because it works really well and is getting better all the time. Obviously people would change a lot about China, the major difference is that they expect the government to bring about that change, rather than assuming it won’t.

          Further, no, the rioters in Beijing were firebombing PLA vehicles and lynching officers before the PLA was sent in. That’s why hundreds died.

            Oh yes the place where they had to install nets in factories to keep people jumping out has to have good ratings. I believe it.

            Also no, I did provide sources. China itself doesn’t deny the use of those vans btw they would have to build an insane number of lethal injection rooms otherwise.

            All of its been reported on by Reuters.

            https://www.reuters.com/article/technology/foxconn-hit-by-10th-jumping-death-nets-installed-idUSTOE64P08H/

            Here’s one I found immediately about the nets. I can find another one for the vans I’m sure but I’ll probably have that comment removed by mods too while they talk to me about “propaganda” and “censorship”

            Ohhhh I see now that it is lemmy. Ml. Hahahahhaha ok yeah makes sense carry on.

            Hey, notice how I didn’t lie about how my government is shit and oppresses its people? Its only one side that seems to do that.

              People have reported on the execution vans, that’s just fake though. As for the suicide nets, the PRC has a lower suicide rate than the US, and lower than Taiwan, so not sure what your point is there.
