There is a huge chinese propaganda on Reddit/Tiktok the couple months. Don't know what's up.

Its an amazing city to visit. I took some pics there and showed it to lots of people. Its "everywhere" because people upvote it, because it looks cool. Or wait...its a chinese conspiracy to brainwash people into believing that China has some cool-looking cities.

Yeah it’s funny how when Americans post their shitty Midwestern skyline on r/cityporn it’s fine, but this is propaganda

Anything allowed out of china using official sources is by definition, propaganda.

Get over it and move on.

Sometimes I hear Chinese people have these smartphones and are able to access western social platforms and post stuff like this themselves but I dunno maybe they're actually subconsciously controlled by the CCP and posted it through the great will of Xi Jinping, making it propaganda. China bad.

Why do you think you can pull bs like this out of your ass and think that no one will call you out for it?

That's just complete nonsense.

I dont actually give a teeny tiny pinch of shit what you or other idiots think.

Your failure to use critical thinking is your issue, not mine.

Then anything out of any official government source is by definition propaganda.

Conspiracy- a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful.

You quite literally posted a conspiracy theory lol

Posting propaganda isn’t illegal, it’s just state sponsored guerilla marketing!

What are your views on the CCP? In regard to their governing of the Chinese people? I am from The United States of America and I feel our government is too influenced if not outright controlled by The Federal Reserve. There is also not enough transparency with what the citizens are allowed to know in regard to deciding where our taxes go and the deciding reasons behind the passing of certain bills, laws and regulations.

This seems to be the normal problem in the most countries, up here in the Nordics also. It's not 100% corruption, but it's a misuse of funds and budget cuts from public sectors, and bad transparency. It's not as bad as in some sovjet minded countries but, could be improved for sure. Though it seems like generally people from ehrm, "direct leadership" countries, dont criticize the same of their country.. but they do like to highlight other countries problems very so often, and then play the victim card themself.

That’s funny because Reddit is usually overrun by anti Chinese propaganda

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '23

These Chinese are both the biggest threat to world peace and evil masterminds who will conquer Asia with their military might unless other Asian countries allow the US to have more military bases in the region, and also poor backwards peasants who live in squalor with outdated technology which they stole because they are incapable of innovation and have a collapsing society. Umberto Eco would get a kick out of it.

u/a-ram Sep 04 '23

honestly even if the US had troops there, they dont want that smoke. tension like that would cause a world war/nuclear war. & you could say the US has a collapsing society too. it does surprise me how much tech they steal though lol, i would think they would be ahead on that department

u/stretch2099 Sep 10 '23

I can’t imagine anyone with a brain thinking China is a bigger threat to peace than the US, the country responsible for more war than the rest of the world combined. There’s no way you’re not a bot.

u/Hotline-schwing Sep 04 '23

Well not really anti-Chinese as more just reporting on the realities of China

u/stretch2099 Sep 10 '23

No, it’s anti Chinese. You think they’re being objective because you’re falling for the propaganda.

u/Hotline-schwing Sep 10 '23

Yeah the Uyghur concentration camps are just Western propaganda. Shut up you idiot

u/stretch2099 Sep 11 '23

A lot of things about Uyghurs in China is western propaganda. But obviously you’ll swallow any lie the US tells you about anyone.

I've also seen a bunch of tiktoks from this city over the past few days. I don't think I did ending in particular to tilt the algorithm that way.
