@Das_Gespenst Oh, yeah I've been noticing that. In fact, internationally the view of China is lacking nuance. You have people that criticize China harshly, as if it was the worst nation imaginable, and then you have people who simp for it like it's the best nation imaginable. One narrative is coming from the American propagande, and the other is from Chinese and tankie (Marxist-Leninist) propaganda. But then it's also not helped by Japan's struggle with condemning its fascist past. I can see why that would trigger Chinese people remembering what Japan did in the war, but at the same time it provides an easy tool for the government. I've seen that first-hand in Russia. Their May 9th (Victory day for Russia) celebrations get more and more elaborate every year. In Azerbaijan there's the Karabakh war, and again the propaganda is crazy. War is always an effective tool to brainwash people..
