    I’m getting tired of all this propaganda… I honestly may leave Lemmy if this keeps up.

    “Everything” we’ve heard about China is a lie? Are you people for fucking real?

    Some of this stuff is dated. Chinese healthcare used to be less available and more expensive until the government put efforts in changing that fact. China’s a nation that seems to believe that they can use their government to make things better.

    Is this the tankie nonsense that ml spews that I’ve been warned about?

    Cause I’m sure this is partly true, as a Canadian I know that China is pragmatically not hell (defiantly has lots of problems though) and that the US is only good if your rich.

    I personally don’t see this as pro China but more as a criticism how living in the US has been romanticized.

    I just want to point out that the attempt to compare medical costs in a direct comparison in US dollars isn’t exactly easy as it does ignore purchasing power and base wages.

    The point would probably be better made with hours of labor at a base pay to pay off treatment which I do think American healthcare would probably still lose quite handedly.

    Time can’t eat away, nor can we be led astray, we’ll still remember that day, from Beijing to Taipei…

    Stop circlejerking the CCP assholes. While the US system is not great, it’s better than one party totalitarian dictatorship.

    Some of this shit is just true and really show how clueless some people are. China is not all bad.

    But in some responses… The social credit had pilot cities. And people were banned for e.g. flying due to social misdeeds, while it seems to be unrelated to the social credit.

    The reality that especially Americans will be de-brainwashed by, is that china is not a communistic state. That it isn’t all bad. China is much more like america than both pro-china and pro-america people want to accept.
