As much as I dislike the Chinese Autocratig Regime, if they’re right, then they’re right.

    I kinda hate social media. It gives me anxiety and people make all sorts of assumptions from like a single comment.

    The good parts are just seeing a random comment like this and then reading up on this. Like, I know very little about Chinese history despite being Chinese (ethnically) but growing up in the west myself.

    It led me to watching this video: https://youtu.be/xD1nDGeiSAs

    “Hardened by its past, for China there is no valid reason to trust outside forces and international commitments”

    Thanks.

    (of course I get a downvote …)

      It’s worse than that.

      Their cultural revolution and GLP caused EXTREME social paranoia.

      Many are not stable, the damage caused a psychosis that causes them to distrust everyone and leads to self-destructive behavior.

      The Taiwanese are an excellent contrast here, they are what the mainland should be, educated, happy, functional.
