    We can totally agree to disagree but the way the current Chinese government came to power was very brutal. We are talking 2 to 40 million dead depending how you calculate the loss of life.

    No country is perfect and China is far from one.

    I find it strange you would attribute the rise of China to their internal policies as opposed to the reality of them taking advantage of US and other foreign investments. China is great because of the US not despite it.

    You sound like someone who is a pick me for China. This often happens when westerners get disillusioned with the US. Which I think is easy to do. They will look into some other country to latch onto.

    For instance, I am guilty of looking up to some Western European countries policies and idealizing them. I was once also very enamored with socialism. I still am in a lot of ways.

      “China is great because of the US” lmao. “We are talking 2 to 40 million dead” what an insane gap. “them taking advantage of US and other foreign investments” oh my god, you are a MAGA, dude, these are Trump’s talking points ever since his first term.

      Yeah, Lemmy is getting filled with bots to keep further dividing people with nonsense like this. Goodluck

        Hey, I get it. You don’t have answers and that is okay. Nationalism is always a symptom of a deeper problem and also relies on hiding the truth.

        I told you the US was way worse than China. That makes me MAGA?

        I think you are just confused and frustrated and really don’t know what the fuck you are saying at this point. I encourage you to continue examining your opinions. Cheers!
