    Always has been. That’s how propaganda works. A lot of exposure for a small amount of loaded terms. Taught in schools to prepare the kids to grow up hating China as our state enemy

        Lmao according to whom? I wish we had China as our neighbor instead of the fucking US, stealing our land and resources at gunpoint, always threatening an embargo, buying up our politicians, starting covert operations and protecting organized crime. China has never done anything to us except provide mutual development and affordable goods, and all the US does is threaten to invade if we get closer to them.

          Remember when China killed 60 million people because they were idiots? I do. I also remember them invading Tibet and the Philippines.

            Tibet has been a part of China centuries before “the west” realized you couldn’t drink the water where your pig shits.

        And so has America. However imagine if every comment about every topic related to America was filled with “They are arming a genocide!”

        I mean, this post is just about the fun facts Americans and Chinese are learning from each other about how we really live and cutting through both nations propaganda and instead of talking about how FUCKING COOL THAT IS, we have to stop and have this conversation. Again. Because China is a trigger word and every American is a sleeper agent

          Yeah, and China has been acting real nice lately. Go talk to everyone of their neighbors. The hatred is real for a reason.
