      Why would it be /s? I’m not from China and the only news I hear is from countries that are actively trying to manufacture consent for a war with China. I’m not for or against China but I’m not going to blindly swallow the state department pill.

      Yeah, absolutely unthinkable that people would trust their government when it does such horrible things like lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, building world class infrastructure, providing people with jobs, housing, education, and healthcare. These things must seem like absolute horrors to a typical westerner.
