    There is a big push for pro China propaganda I keep noticing.

    Be smart people, it hasn’t changed from the china you knew five years ago. Same dude still running it.

      It started as pure propaganda but got adopted by all of the basement dwellers living of social support in the west who turned China’s propaganda into a lifestyle (aka tankies)

      China is the same, but the western world is in a race to the bottom so at least we can wave to them as we pass them on the way down.

      I think its that people see all the shitty things their own country does and realize that its not really and better. Especially if your an American and your tax dollars are used to fund a genocide for Israel and concentration camps in the US. Neither country has any morale high ground.

        Probably not the case for the original creator of the post, who seems to live in China.

        MBFC for Caixin Global:

          Media Bias Fact Check is, in itself, biased. Still, this rating isn’t that bad. They aren’t the best source (if you assume MBFC is honest), but far from the worst.

            You may not be wrong, and I understand what you’re trying to convey, but I don’t think I could’ve conjured a more lukewarm response.

            Do you have any alternatives you consider less biased? Claiming this, or anything like it, has its own biases seems needlessly tautological.
