I find it incredibly fascinating that many people in the West can make the connection that their own governments regularly lie and deceive them, but can’t accept that, maybe, just maybe, the same governments are lying about the Chinese government. It’s astonishing to see the contradiction there. Like, perhaps since you are well aware that your own government isn’t completely honest, why would you not question other narratives that are pushed by that same government?
Most believe whatever Five Eyes NGO & corporate media and what Wikipedia[1] tell them. I try to lead them toward developing real media literacy, but they seldom drink.
