      They have high approval within the Chinese populace.

      Just like Trump has high approval among Fox viewers. Propaganda works.

      You and so many are so deluded by propaganda about China.

      And you’re not? Or do you just like the taste of jackboot?

      I’ve been to China many times too and it does not rock lmao. You’ve been eating propaganda and it shows. China is extremely oppressive and it’s still incredibly underdeveloped despite LED covered cities you see on tiktok. It’s still a matchmaker and status driven society from 20th century despite EV tech.

      Also freedom is not binary, the west is more free than China ever was. At least I can type “LGBT” to my chat app which you cannot do in China because CCP autocrats deem it “western propaganda”. None of this is a worthy sacrifice for faster decision making, I’d rather be slightly poorer but live in a healthier more free society.

      You’re a fool.
