    When I see these pro-China pieces, I remember that Chinese citizens can’t speak freely, exercise political will, or breathe clean air. As well as China’s actions towards the annexation/militarization of surrounding waters, erasure of Tibetan and Uyghuar cultures, and propagation of destabilizing online propaganda.

      Chinese citizens can breathe clean air. Japan is only a 4 hour flight away

          Taiwan air is not that good, actually. It has heavy industry, so AQI of 100 days happen often

        I was gonna say isn’t China a big ol landmass of a country with diverse climates like most big countries? I recently saw a photo I could have sworn was taken in the bahamas or some other stereotypical tropical paradise but no apparently southern China has some cool beaches lol

          Actually, yes, the air quality is good in places away from heavy industry. Hainan has some good surfing spots, it’s usually what people think when they think about China beach spots. That said, it’s as expensive as California because it’s one of the few great beach places that Chinese people without a passport can go to (other benefits being everyone speaks Chinese, the food is familiar, etc.). Thailand is a much better value for money, for example

      All true. They have their own version of this though.

      “When I see pro American pieces, I remember that their citizens are obese and undereducated, or subjugated by centuries old race caste system and incarcerated at very high rates. Their schools are failing, their cities are riddled with crime, their infrastructure is crumbling, half of them hate the other half, and they wield imperial control around the world with their military, killing a million Iraqis to secure their oil.”

        I’m sure they’d love to come live in the US though. Lines at the US visa offices in China have been enormous.

        Funny thing is, I don’t see articles that say “America launches (best AI thing / fastest chip / 5g bs)” … just the company (usually international) that did the work.

        Also all true, sadly. I’m so lucky to be European, although it’s not paradise here, either. But still…

          After everything Europe did in the 20th century I think y’all best just keep quiet for about a century. “Not paradise…” Jesus.

          Bully for your grand government benefits package. Huzzah. Meanwhile the rest of the world is still unwinding your colonial legacy and world wars. What’s that? You have a hot war going on now? Im so lucky to be a Californian.
