goldsea.com/…/china-executed-14-billionaires-for-… Hyperbole, please. They actively use capital punishment. Just because you are okay with human rights violations because it is you “team” doesn’t mean everyone else is. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine It is accepted that the famine was man made. I will gladly bring receipts because I am not in denial about reality. “Over 6,700 American companies built operations in China by 2016, with a total estimated investment value exceeding $228 billion.” Where do you think China got all its investment money and technology. China helped billionaires in the US grow richer while allowing them to turn China into another capitalist hellscape. If your in denial about this that is okay. I have not exaggerated anything, in fact I have only talked about the tip of a very big iceberg. I get you are indoctrinated into their propaganda. Obviously though, you can even see through some of their bullshit.

you’re not wrong about everything you’ve stated, but you’re also only half correct because your sources have skin in the game. goldsea.com – your execution article. goldsea’s an asian american ad-driven news aggregator, not an independent investigative outlet. like any all other media, their business model rewards sensational headlines. that’s not a neutral source – it’s a conflict of interest baked in. in this case, they profit from making china look as brutal as possible. the article itself recycles cases from 2006 and 2008. why? because recent examples are harder to find or less dramatic and includes no updates for the cases; suspended sentences are a thing in china. wikipedia & the great famine – yes, the famine happened. but wikipedia’s sourcing on that page leans heavily on western cold war-era scholarship, almost all of which had its own political axe to grind and even liberals today recognize this. not saying the famine is false – it’s not – but citing wikipedia as objective truth while calling me brainwashed is something very special. not even elementary school students are allowed to cite wikipedia anymore because of how wrong it frequently is. the us investment figure – $228 billion from american companies. those companies didn’t invest out of generosity. they invested for profit. so citing them as proof that “china is great because of the us” is like saying a customer made a restaurant successful out of kindness. like most americans, you’re confusing corporate/oligarchic self-interest as if it were altruism. nobody’s neutral. The difference is I hold the epstein oligarchy’s propaganda and china’s at the same arm’s length – while your sources show that full-throatedly chug the former.
