    Some of this shit is just true and really show how clueless some people are. China is not all bad.

    But in some responses… The social credit had pilot cities. And people were banned for e.g. flying due to social misdeeds, while it seems to be unrelated to the social credit.

    The reality that especially Americans will be de-brainwashed by, is that china is not a communistic state. That it isn’t all bad. China is much more like america than both pro-china and pro-america people want to accept.

    China propaganda machine goes brrrr

    The way people really suddenly think oh yeah China is just a good country like a European democracy where you can live well is flabbergasting. Of course a dictatorship with massive censorship and suppression of minorities has mostly positive comments.

    And of course, many people that aren’t part of a harassed minority or politically active against the rulers aren’t saying horrible stuff against them (which wouldn’t be seen anyway).

    Time can’t eat away, nor can we be led astray, we’ll still remember that day, from Beijing to Taipei…

    Stop circlejerking the CCP assholes. While the US system is not great, it’s better than one party totalitarian dictatorship.

    Remember that “Grapes of Wrath” completely backfired as a propaganda piece because Russians were amazed that poor Americans could still afford cars

    Well tbf, even though it’s strictly banned in China there are still some cases of it happening in rural areas.

    People are people no matter where they live, which also means you can’t trust any government anywhere. Propaganda is powerful.

    The idea of a social credit score has always been hilarious to me, like yo bros we have credit scores over here and they legitimately fuck us over since you need good credit to do alot of things like renting a place to live.
