Over a billion people all just so in denial.

That’s what propaganda does. China isn’t a free democracy.

[–] NonconfrontationaI@lemmy.ml 1 points 25 minutes ago (3 children)

I'm sure you know better than the actual Chinese people polled. Thanks for setting the record straight.

[–] Junkers_Klunker@feddit.dk 1 points 11 minutes ago (1 children)

Some times it takes an outsider to see the problems, and I’m not alone in seeing massive democratic problems in China. You don’t know who participated in that poll (and neither do I) was it random people on the street or pro party people? With the amount of surveillance in China, I probably would think twice before speaking against the party.

The communist party has the sole power in China, while other parties technically are legal they haven’t got any power higher than city/regional level.

And then there’s the corruption, they have massive problems with that.

And before you go “hurr durr other countries bad” yes other countries do have problems and some may be worse than China, but that doesn’t legitimise Chinas government.

They lifted 800 million people out of poverty in 40 years and 90% of Chinese adults own their own home. They haven't dropped a bomb in 50 years. They produce more solar panels in a year than the rest of the world has combined so far.

Yeah. There's a lot to like.

Also, more data from a "better" source.

and when North Koreans say the Kim gang are great, we should believe them.

I believe them more than the obvious bullshit propaganda coming from the country that literally genocided them, lmao.

You believe shit like every man in the country has to get the same haircut?

I see what you're getting at but you only need to glance at the US to know that a lot of citizens of a country do NOT know WTF they're talking about when it comes to their leadership.

[–] NonconfrontationaI@lemmy.ml 1 points 13 minutes ago (1 children)

You think there might be a bit of an education gap between the two countries looool?

[–] Junkers_Klunker@feddit.dk 2 points 9 minutes ago (1 children)

China also do have a large population of lesser educated people. Not everyone in China are doctors or engineers.

[–] NonconfrontationaI@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 minutes ago

Obviously? We're comparing them to America though, lol.
