Circle jerking about China is as ridiculous as circle jerking about the US. We’ve been here before with US vs USSR, but this time everyone has a megaphone and an IQ that can be measured with a ruler.
I’m getting tired of all this propaganda… I honestly may leave Lemmy if this keeps up.
“Everything” we’ve heard about China is a lie? Are you people for fucking real?
Eh, there’s truth and lies on both sides. Coming from someone that lived in china for 4 years and was able to engage with Chinese primary news sources. But basic healthcare in china is faster and cheaper, but then again I went to get a wart removed and they prescribed me acorn paste that accelerated the growth of the wart. So win some lose some.
I still don’t believe the TEMU bit though
I like how one person said they don’t use child labour because they are inefficient. If they were efficient though …
I totally believe child labour is inefficient.
I also believe it’s cheap and capitalism doesn’t care.
Lol people actually believed that social credit score bullshit?
But… social credit literally is real… There are government legislations on this. It is not a conspiracy theory.
On the other hand Western media definitely has exaggerated and demonized it a lot. The social credit is basically your credit score, but it is more expansive and uses information some might see as encroaching on their personal privacy and freedoms.
I didn’t think child labor still existed in China, just harsh labor conditions and low pay.
China’s government’s strict control of the media did, however, lead to me not questioning the social credit score thing.
Pretty naive to think that child labor dosen’t exists in China tbh. Maybe not at the scale of child factory workers that some western media like to depict, but at a smaller scale, in farming, family owned business and small isolated factories.
China is fucking rich dude.
So is the US, and we still have farms, small businesses, and small factories
Same.
Not hard to believe when there’s camps for uyghurs.
Happy to be wrong.
I maintain this, but other comrades like @davel and @yogthos keep better megathreads about this topic.

This megathread is garbage, it lists quora and twitter threads as sources.
