    It’s honestly very wholesome to see this kind of interaction. On top of cute moments like Chinese users telling the new US users that they are their “spies,” seeing a lot of blatant myth dispelling surrounding the PRC is great to help tear down the Red Scare.

      Imagine allowing citizens to be so free that they can go to your biggest rival’s social media to read narratives favouring them, get influenced by rival propaganda, and then shit you on your percieved weak points.

          Patritoism?
          I suppose it is easy to be patriotic to a state which hides even publicly known events from its plebs.

          Try to get opinion of the Chinese on RedNote about Uyguirs and Teinman Square. I’ll wait.

            Tiananmen square is one of the most popular places in China, it’d be like saying Times square in new york city. You’re referring to what they call the june 4th incident, and you can absolutely talk about it on chinese social media.

            What’s a “secret” are not those events, but the garbage that propagandized Westerners believe about those events.

            So you’re right, the “genocide” is a “secret,” and the “massacre” is a “secret.”

    The unexpected propaganda win for the PRC too lol. Anyone who might have been doubting the benefits of the dictatorship of the proletariat will now have first hand evidence that life is absolutely not better in capitalism

    Circle jerking about China is as ridiculous as circle jerking about the US. We’ve been here before with US vs USSR, but this time everyone has a megaphone and an IQ that can be measured with a ruler.

      You keep on coping there little buddy. What’s happening is that regular people from both countries are now talking directly to each other, and finding out what life is actually like.

        Uhhh, not exactly regular people. From what I’ve seen from the Rednote, at least my feed is wealthy upper-middle or upper class, while the Americans are from low to middle class.

      Sorry for being pedantic, but those foldable work rulers are exactly 2 m long (at least in MetricLandia), which is, incidentally, the span of IQ values (0-200).

      So yeah, it literally can be mapped one-to-one to a (common type of) ruler.

        In communist China everyone gets a daily ration of 5 crickets and tree bark scraps, that you’re only allowed to eat after giving Xi Jinping a sloppy kiss in the mouth.

          That’s a rookie bullshit, you need to tell something like: “People have nothing to eat. I have seen personally children eat dirt.”
