There’s quite a few Chinese players on https://tetr.io/, a very active multiplayer (and single-player) community-made Tetris game
Imagine how down bad you would need to be to break out of the great firewall just to hit US twitter. The shame I would feel
Americans watch 900 sponsorship ad reels about using ExpressVPN to watch Netflix shows that are exclusive to other regions and get confused when Chinese people also do similar things.
The Chinese may be restricted by default from browsing the western web, but westerners can freely browse the Chinese web with no special procedures. They could easily explore and understand what Chinese people do, especially with webpage translation features. But instead they opt for laziness and rely on telephone stories about China. This alone makes the US worse, just like everything else they boast about; they claim that Chinese are repressed and brainwashed and powerless, yet Americans do nothing with their democracy to punish traitors and billionaire abusers.
Americans, in their own words, CHOOSE to be stepped on and ignorant.
The actual function of the great firewall isn’t keeping Chinese posters in but keeping Facebook out
Do these people not realise you can just talk to a Chinese person about these things?
there’s a genre of posts by western college students who talk to Chinese international students. They ask them about social credit and Winnie the Pooh and other weird shit, and they’re flabbergasted when the Chinese student has no idea what the hell they’re on about lol
Sadly, most of them use that as “proof” of their brainwashing. They’re “forced” to pretend to be ignorant to trick westerners.
I was curious about whether or not China had light displays for Christmas. I looked up on YouTube. There were a few walk around videos showing off Christmas lights in Chinese cities. ~5,000 views. Between two of the results was a video titled something like China CANCELS Christmas with some kkkracka in a poor fitting suit sitting at his dining room table with an awful looking green screen behind him. 50,000 views and comments like “YES SIR THANK YOU FOR KEEPING US INFORMED SIR.”
EDIT: the cancel video has 635K views now
Entirely anecdotal but when I was staying in China for a while the supermarket near me went absolutely all out for christmas, no place where I live in NA does that anymore. So if anything China is apart of the vanguard defending christmas or something.
Its ridiculous how much propaganda about China is obviously disproved from spending just a few hours there
