I bet if the kind of things happening in the US happened in China, I wouldn’t be able to stop hearing about it. I mean, people are still criticizing the Tiananmen Square massacre, and hasn’t anything happened since then? It’s like still making conspiracy theories about Kennedy’s assassination or 9/11, those are old news.

    Also, our protesters might get brutalized and slapped with some petty charges. Theirs disappear . After and during which they’re brutalized, too.

    And am I supposed to take your word or the one from the BBC for it? Why not link something from a less biased source, like from a country that doesn’t host any US military.

      Full tanker mode, engage!

      But yeah, you won’t see any of that on legitimate Chinese press.

      You know that China is currently engaging in 2 different large-scale genocides, right? Or that they crushed (very literally) an entire city-worth of protests in Hong Kong just about 5 years ago, right? People don’t talk about those because people outside of China don’t spend their days criticizing China, and people inside China don’t spend any time criticizing China.
