    Significant suicide rates can be worrying in multiple places. I don’t see where anyone is making this a US vs China thing

      It’s a theme with Lemmygrad. Any chance they get they’ll highlight issues with the US and downplay problems with the CCP. It’s completely disingenuous and nonstop.

      Edit: Apparently the admins on lemmy.ml don’t like the truth. I posted another reply pointing out that the rate is in fact twice as high in China and they deleted it. They’d rather leave an untruthful comment incorrectly claiming it’s 500% in the US.

          Yeah I would if that was anything close to reality, but if it was a 56% increase in the US over ten years it would be well under China’s rate.

          So, since I understand basic math and I’m not a CCP shill, I’m more concerned about China’s children.

          “Screaming” huh?

          Was it you who deleted my reply here? Can’t handle the truth so you silence others?

          Seems the admins of your instance will come delete my comment soon anyway, so why bother.

            Is it really that hard not to be using the language of racists? Like is this really a hill you need to be dying on?

            That’s me, not the admins. Stop being racist when you (inaccurately) criticize China and your comments won’t be deleted. If you can’t help but be racist when you criticize China then you’ll keep getting them deleted.
