What is .ml obsession with defending China ?

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 week ago

There's nothing wrong with thinking highly of a country, especially one on an upward trajectory in so many ways: working to end world poverty, end dependence on fossil fuels via a green energy revolution, and put a stop to the low-wage trap that US imperialism has imposed on the global south.

The only reason these seem offensive to you, is that you're propagandized to hate the geopolitical enemies of the US police state (and its vassals), so anyone saying something positive about them must be heresy that demands a public condemnation.

If I spoke highly of any other US enemy (like Cuba or Venezuela or the DPRK), it'd likely evoke the same reaction, but if I spoke highly of a neutral country like Tanzania, Malaysia, or Switzerland, it wouldn't need the same condemnation.

Why do you(liberals/westerners) have an obsession with spreading/lies/rumors/exaggerations and sinophobia? And before you do the hate the government not the people white saviour nonsense even according to harvard the government satisfaction rate is in the 90%s the CPC has over 100 million members (over 1/14 people) the government is made up of and vastly supported by the people they're not separable in that manor.

The richest country in the world has homelessness, poor infrastructure, malnutrition, terrible education, stagnating wages, etc. Meanwhile China was able to go from an agricultural society to an industrial powerhouse. There are a few lessons to be learned here if we're willing to learn them.

I don't mind the criticism as long as it's prefaced by something like "I know I live in a murderous imperialistic Western country and I hate it too, but... ". But when does it? Quite rarely.
