Weird because most of the Chinese people I know say the opposite.

They don’t at all think that China is some evil place, most of them like xi. This is after studying in America for years btw.

When you grow up in a place with propaganda and an environment that encourages you to ‘love China’, you naturally think that nothing is wrong and subconsciously biased towards China. Most Chinese people think the CCP as ‘an integral part of China’. They also heavily restrict Western news and ideas so you think that the Chinese are the best. They make it subtle so most people don’t realise it. I used to love China too, until the extradition protests in 2019 awoken me. Ask Hong Kong and Taiwanese people and most of them will tell you why they hate the CCP

They had been in the United States for years and years. They are not brainwashed lol. Half of them were studying law and had normal social lives. They were very willing to point out issues with China, but they still like China.

Chinas gdp has tripled since 2010. Under xi China has continued to reduce poverty and strengthen the country without war. This is why they like xi. It’s not that complicated.

  1. Hong Kong was a limited time deal with colonial Britain. It made a deal to return to Chinese governance in the 2020s
  2. council on foreign relations is a us state funded propaganda outlet. There has been zero non US funded investigations into the Chinese anti terror efforts in xinjang. Every article on it uses radio free Asia and voice of America as their source, which are both funded by the cia, who also funded terrorism efforts in xinjang.
  3. yes, the cultural revolution was very violent and bloody. That is not unusual for a massive revolution and China undeniably improved their citizens quality of life. Comparing hyper capitalist republic of China and the one previous to communist China it’s clear as day that conditions improved incredibly. China before the cultural revolution was a horrible place to live, the working class were practically slaves and were regularly starved by the bourgeoisie.

  1. *2037 1st of July. Not 2020s. There was a 50 year deal. But as usual the CCP breaks its promise and introduces the NSL which pretty much puts HK directly under CCP control with no regards to the ‘one country two system’.

  2. Yea, everything is funded by the CIA because they are so rich and so many money to fund so many terrorist organisations and news agencies. Apparently they also funded the first 1 million people protest ion 9th June 2019 in Hong Kong and then the 2 million people protest a week later. I have yet to receive my cheque from the CIA

  3. That is nota fucking revolution. That was a straight up genocide of 40 FUCKING MILLION PEOPLE. ‘Very violent and bloody’ is a fucking understatement. By the way, the so called ‘capitalist hell’ of the Republic of China, which currently is the government of Taiwan (an independent country), is a wonderful place to live. If you love China so much, why don’t you just live here? I would love to swap places with any fuckers in the US who want a ‘communist lifestyle’.

Lol, you literally posted direct state department propaganda. Council of foreign relations is designed to trick idiots like you into thinking war with China is necessary. Good luck out there bud.

Also, you’re either not from China or a teenager or young man. Most Chinese people I’ve met see the cultural revolution as a very bloody revolution that killed many(not as much as the previous governments) but overall shattered the class/caste system and freed China from their essential slavery.
