Well, China is a “beacon of prosperity” by any objective measure. I’ve not seen anyone there make the other claims. Though they do debunk a lot of the anti-Russia and anti-China propaganda, they back it up with facts.

by any objective measure.

Does that objective measure also happen yo include freedom of press? Because boy i have some news for you...

they back it up with facts.

Revisionist facts? Whose alt is this?

No, freedom of press is not a measure of prosperity. And I don’t know many western countries that are in a position to point fingers at this point, considering how many journalists they’ve helped kill when they covered a genocide.

I don't see how China is in a position to point fingers considering the treatment of the uyghurs

It's a beacon of prosperity when there are anti suicide nets at foxcon? Or like the 996? Run by a dictator, also committing genocide isn't very prosperous. My interactions have been " if it's western propaganda it's entirely false, but Chinese or Russian propaganda is entirely true"

Lifting 800 million people out of poverty is more than economic system has ever done.

What genocide?

anti suicide nets

Should they just let people kill themselves?

996

Is illegal

Committing genocide

The UN did not find genocide only human rights abuses at best. You can go to China, you can go to a mosque and talk to Uyghurs there.

Meanwhile the west is funding a real genocide in Gaza. You can't go there to film the atrocities being committed and brave people still try. Israel has killed more journalists in their genocide than ww2

Dictator

Or maybe if it's so prosperous people wouldn't want to work in a place where they want to kill themselves.

Is illegal

That has never stopped authoritarian governments lol

Ok sorry ethnic cleansing isn't genocide, sorry....

And you think I'm supporting the west's genocide in palestine? Nah miss me with that shit

Dictator

Yeah dawg I saw the source of that and I was banned in an .ml instance for saying "hows life in north Korea?" "Can't complain" lol

America has a higher suicide rate lol

That has never stopped authoritarian governments lol

I don't understand what you're saying. The 996 thing does exist but it was made illegal. Sometimes private companies try to make workers do more hours illegally.

Ok sorry ethnic cleansing isn't genocide, sorry....

They didn't find ethnic cleansing either. Again, you can go to Xinjiang and visit mosques with Uyghurs praying in them. So yeah ethnic cleaning ain't happening.

And you think I'm supporting the west's genocide in palestine? Nah miss me with that shit

You brought up the genocide to someone speaking positively of China. But the only ones doing genocide are the west. China does a bunch of bad shit it isn't perfect but if genocide is the criteria we're running with then China is the lesser evil.
