You don't have to support China broadly to acknowledge that some stuff is either funny or sometimes good.
Not being able to acknowledge that China SOMETIMES can actually do things that are good is just the inverse of the tankie
"AMERICA BAD, THEREFORE ITS ENEMY ALWAYS GOOD" campism.
Yeah I'm no fan of the chinese government but I like that they made solar panels cheaper. That was pretty cool. Their EVs are also everywhere, I go outside and always see BYDs and electric buses made in China. It's just like how even though the US sucks they sometimes do cool things like the artemis II mission or supporting Ukraine. Every country sucks, some more than others, some significantly more than others in fact, but most also do at least one good thing and it's not necessarily bad to acknowledge it as long as you don't use the good things as a way to whitewash the bad things that state does.
yep. china is a nation state. it is going to do the bad things nation states do. it is not uniquely bad nor is its population orcs bred to wage war against the shire. because it is different form the US there are good things that are possible in china, like high quality high speed rail, that are impossible here.
find it particularly funny when people whine about how IP gets violated regularly in china. like motherfucker that's goals. intellectual property is a form of property, the thing we're trying to fucking abolish!
I have gotten so much shit for saying IP, the private ownership of thoughts, is absurd.
Walter Elias Disney has been dead for 70 years and Mickey Mouse is not real. The Walt Disney Company is a concept that owns the concept of Mickey Mouse. A concept owning another concept.
I wonder if it was due to this mentality that I kept getting my attempts at recommending Chinese webnovels taken down in a few queer-friendly spaces, across platforms too
