The extreme Sinophobic tropes and clichés that were clearly inserted into the redditbrain by American propagandists.
i thought it was just me :/ sometimes the sinophobia against chinese people (not the government) is insane
The government is approved by over 95% people, so insulting the government is the same as insulting over 95% people.
i can assure you, having spoken to quite a few chinese people (of millennial and gen z age), they do not approve of the government. there's also many chinese people who exist outside china, yet there's still sinophobia towards them.
I wonder how many of these "dissidents" would exist if genocidal USA empire was not giving them scholarships and Disneyland tickets (Tiananmen "democratic" students are a good example of this) and a capitalist future in US companies. Expats and repats exist in every culture, race and country.
many. most do not even have exposure to the world outside of china due to law restrictions. as much as they dislike the authoritarian government, they stay in china because it is their country, their culture, and home. so idk tf you’re talking about.
