It’s funny that you should post this. Just this morning I stumbled upon some PRC‐bashing that was underneath—of all things—a torture instrument from the First Reich. I tried to do some research based on the Redditor’s claim and this video was the best source that I could find. Wikipedia’s section on Chinese man catchers has a grand total of 0 citations, and I gave up trying to confirm the locations of a few photos, two of which could have been from Japan or S. Korea for all I know.
We’re close to the point now where we can’t even sneeze without some dullard bringing up the PRC and how much it sucks, in part because anticommunists can say almost anything about the PRC as long as it isn’t too wacky. For example, saying that Xí Jìnpíng is secretly the alien queen from the Alien franchise wouldn’t work since it’s so obviously impossible. On the other hand, you could say ‘recent psychological studies have indicated that Xí is a psychopathic, narcissistic schizophreniac with autism and APD’ and Redditors would probably eat that shit up, since there is a morsel of plausibility to the situation.

so weird. those man catchers devices are now made of aluminium or similar metal and have rubber tips at the ends so they cant hurt. picture: https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article18947516.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/0_Chinese-police-show-off-a-new-crowd-cont.jpg
this is much better than physical restraints, much less a GUN!!!
Freedom and progress is when state sanctioned street murder, barbarity and backwardness is when respect for human life
Perfect for them to deflect anything using their favourite word whataboutism lol.
Something terrible happens in the west “ew what are we, ChYnA?!11”
