I lived in china for 4 years, got out of the expat bubble, lived in smaller cities and I gotta say, for people that have never been to china or actually been friends with Chinese people, y’all are pretty allergic to any criticism, no matter how legitimate, of china. Maybe take a step back from YOUR OWN biases and be a little objective. There are great things about china. There are bad things about china. No country’s perfect

Quite the impressive straw man you’ve built here. At risk of falling into a no true Scotsman, I have never seen anyone on here even approach implying China is perfect simply that criticism should be situated within the proper context of material reality and pushing back on the unfortunate tidlewave of nonsense many people seem to believe is true and valid criticism.

Literally nobody here says that China is perfect or that there aren’t bad things about China. The reality is that no human society is perfect, but some are objectively better than others.

i’ve also lived in china, well outside of the “expat bubble” every criticism presented in the post that’s repeated ad nauseam by shitlibs is false and if you’ve actually lived there you’d know it. and fyi, we communists have plenty of actual criticisms but “see see pee 1984 one gorillion uyghurs dead adrian zens said so” isn’t one we lend any credence to because it’s stupid as fuckt
