Yes, true

Thank God that in China you can't simply be "disappeared", you won't be sent to reeducation camps, and you won't be slaughtered.

Right?

Good thing you ate the capitalists’ propaganda onion and are now doing their work for free, contributing to your continued exploitation.

Meanwhile people actually are being disappeared in the US right now, and people actually are subjected to forced labor.

And you don’t think this happens in China?

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 days ago

I have no reason to believe people are being disappeared, no, but I do have reason to believe that the US and its junior partners will continue claiming that they are. It’s big business.

Just more western propaganda to push the china bad narrative

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

Correct, you won't.

Yea yea yea, just keep parroting those liberal talking points ROFL

How much have you travelled, lived and worked in China? How far outside the tier 1 cities have you gotten?

If you think every criticism of China is just liberal talking points, I assume the answers to those questions are all “not very much”.
