    I never said “you’re evil scary Chinese people”. The Chinese state however, is another story (authoritarian— but I know you’re apathetic towards authoritarianism). I realize now that this may be evoking some sort of nationalistic reaction out of you, though.

    I didn’t “decide”— like I said, independent journalists and satellite imaging. And no, it’s not reducible to “Western evil scary propaganda” like you’re making it out to be.

      All governments/states are authoritarian. That is their nature. No government is excluded from this.

      The difference with some governments over others is who wields that authority: the majority of working class people, or the minority of capitalist class people.

      I’d prefer to live in a state that advocates for my best interests as a working class individual rather than submit to capitalists that want to extract everything that I’m worth for themselves and hoard for no good reason.

      The Chinese state that has 95+% support from the population and is made up of a representative of Chinese people.

      White people decided we’re evil and you just go along with it without any investigation because you’re racist and it confirms your biases

        Ah yes because government-manufactured numbers hold value— you must think Russia is a democracy too, no?

        Oh, and now I’m racist. Great. Critiquing a state means I’m racist. Logical.

        I have nothing against Chinese people. If you’re defending things like suppression, I don’t care what colour you are, I don’t like that.

          Strawman. Also more racism.

          You are a racist.

            You got caught with a good analogy and you’re defaulting to claiming I’m a racist randomly to hide behind.
