Most certainly easy to believe. China is not that far off from DPRK anymore. Look at what they did during covid (welding people in their apartments, killing all pets, arresting people for curfew violations, etc). Look at their typical workday (14x6) and wage (a few $/day). How do think we get cheap products like $25 microwaves and $15 coffee makers. CCP wants a slave population, not citizens.

TIL Chinese people are “brown skinned”.
I know right, we are yellow or fair
I assume they mean from the point of view of the people in the media they’re criticizing.
I’m in China as well and you’re talking out of your ass, or arrived post-covid.
I’ve experienced lockdowns, pet killings and welded doors; know plenty of 996 companies, and the local salaries are garbage.
I arrived in China 2001.
I experienced the harshest and largest lockdown in all of history: Wuhan, January 23rd, 2020. A real lockdown, not the cosplay bullshit you experienced outside of China. (Yes, this is me saying you’ve never fucking set foot in the country.)
The rest you’re just flat-out lying about. Sorry, Sparky. Did pet killings happen? Yes. They were not the mass shit that the press you’re so obviously reciting acts like they were. Did some doors get welded? Yes. But nowhere near you and, again, nowhere near in the masses the press you’re basing your lies on made it seem like. The local salaries are garbage iff you’re a fuckwit sitting in the west applying western prices to Chinese salaries. (Which, naturally, you are, good little fuckwit liar that you are.) And you’ve changed your tune from 14 hours to 12 hours really fucking quickly there, Sparky, not to mention using the proper slang only after I gave it to you.
So yeah, you’re just a west-dwelling fuckwit lying about being here. Go toddle off in your China Watcher corners and play with the rest of the intellectual children you belong with. There’s a good boy.
LOL. Ok champ. You’re just the sorry twat I thought I left behind on reddit, so I’ll withdraw from this exchange.
Bro I hate to break it to you but there’s way more CCP apologist tankies on Lemmy than Reddit. That you won’t escape by coming here.
Yep but luckily most of them stick to instances that I can fully ignore.
Either way I find it funny that the same anti westerners who say China is fair to its workers, are the same ones who always mention that my phone is made by slaves. Sometimes in the same discussion.
Bruh. Are you smoking crack?
What are you even talking about?
Wow, a real, live tankie!
Do you actually fucking READ before reacting you utter fuckwit?!
Talking with Americans is like talking with ADHD-addled toddlers for fuck’s sake!
I mean
A: you’re an asshole, even if you had a point.
B: your whole argument is an appeal to your own authority and a dismissal of anyone who disagrees with you as an idiot.
And C:
You spent the whole comment praising China and dismissing criticisms in specific details. Then tacked a few vague complaints that noone would disagree with on in the end. This is a very common tactic used to make it look like you haven’t “taken sides”.
Wow, a real, live, tankie!
I was in China during the pandemic. In 2022 everyone got COVID. Literally everyone in every big city.
So they should have opened up after omega became the dominant variant. No point in locking people down when they lost anyway.
It was a good response in the beginning, but they doubled down on it for three years

You need to relax. You can just explain your points without calling people fuckwits etc.
They stopped tracking cases in December, so how do you know it’s one third?
They literally told us to stay at home and not go to the hospital even if we have it
I like the use of CCP, as hyper authoritarians can’t help but appear to “correct” them. (This trick also works for Nazis!)
I will take your advice though and start questioning your narrative, starting with a request for sources on every claim you’ve made.
